I purchased this 2005 kia Sorento and on my way home there was a knock before I lost my sterring and brakes. Luckily I slowed down when I heard the sound. I got the car home safelybeing only a half a mile away. Called the dealer I purchased the kia from and he came and got it to repair it. He bought the updated so call bolt that was suppose to fix the issue with the crank shaft bolt. Then I got the car back and had the gas tank leaking from the seams. He fix and replaced that. Just the other night on my way to work and I lost my sterring and brakes again. . I travel on main roads but there is a lot of amish here and thank god I wasn't going around any of there buggy and hurt those people or myself. . There is no fix what so ever for this issue and someone needs to make kia stand up and take responsibility for this faulty defect before a innocent child or woman or husband gets killed.
I was driving from daughter bus stop after leaving the hospital and it just was shaking or felt funny then brake light and battery light came on and took to parking lot called mechanic told me crank shaft was broke reported to kia as well.
Interior electrical lighting turns itself off and on. Headlights will occasionally shut themselves off. Lights regularly burn out/need replacing every 45-90 days. Dash lights haven't worked in over a year - fuse regularly blows, gave up on replacing it.
My 2005 kia Sorento hydroplaned . The SUV flipped over 3 times and hit an concrete wall. My airbags and seat belt failed to secure me . Kia says that my car does not have roll over airbags that they are not responsible for my injuries. I feel that kia should own up to the poorly made SUV that they design .
On 4/30/08 my kia Sorento was hit from behind on the interstate. We were pushed into the car ahead of us who also hit the car ahead of them. We were on an extended on ramp so I estimate our speed was 35 mph. As the traffic ahead of us began to stop quickly I applied my brakes, therefore the exact rate of speed at the time of impact is unknown. However we hit car enough that my daughters lid covered soft drink hit the dash. Neither of my cars front air bags deployed. My car sustained major rear and front and driver side damage. The car was totaled. Our seat belts did hold us in. However I received bruising from the seat belt in the check and waist area as weak as an injury to my right knee where it hit the lower dash area.
Caller states her son had an accident and none of the air bags deployed.
