Failure Date: 07/20/2013

We were traveling down I-64 at 6:45 pm at 70 mph when a downpour began suddenly my husband eased off of the accelerator and as we entered the rain. We began to hydroplane we spun 180 degrees. He regained control only to hydroplane again. This time he did a 360 and went into a ditch hitting a earthen embankment with the front fender spinning us around and pushing the rear of the car up the embankment this then caused the car to begin rolling we rolled at least 4 times before sliding at least 100 yards down the interstate. No airbags deployed. My husbands seat belt held. However, I was in the back seat with our son and my seat belt as well as his released throwing us into the cargo area. We all were injured and transported to the hospital by ambulance. When we notified kia they acted as if this was no big deal.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2009

Had a recall on kia Sorento- 2007. A year later they call me on it. I told them about recalls when I first received the vehicle. They want me to pay for it first. Then they fixed it a year later and now one of the recalls is acting up again. Now it is something with the itu control ???? so after they default on our contract about my personal info they had extra finance charge because I was sick and had a warranty. They refused on that too! so they repo my car after I told them to come and get it. Total of 4 recalls on a car I bought two years ago.
