Brake Sensor problems of the 2011 Kia Motor Sorento

The abs/traction sensor has gone out. Seems to be a common issue and kia will not cover it or issue a recall.

I was driving the vehicle at low speed when the brakes started coming on by themselves. The traction control light came on as the vehicle stopped 6 times within a couple of hundred feet. I could feel the anti lock brakes working as the vehicle would stop, then the brakes would release and I would start moving again only to have the brakes come on by themselves again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a sensor was replaced regarding the steering. The vehicle has worked fine since, but its only been 5 days since it was repaired.

The contact owns a 2011 kia Sorento. While driving at 20 mph, multiple warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the right rear passenger side brake sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Bought new 2011 kia Sorento in February and have 11,000 miles on it. I have taken it in several times for the push to start taking a bit to start. It seems as if sometimes it is not going to start. Took it in at 8000 miles and they said it was a brake sensor and the part was on back order. Just got that fixed with 11,000 miles on it. Took kia in this week for a noise in the front wheel because it sounds like the wheel is going to fall off. Problem was not fixed. Said kia was working to resolve issue with brake pad but that it was safe for me to drive and that nothing would happen. Not to happy about my service not getting taking care of when I take it in. Apparently they need to just replace our cars if they can't fix it. I don't appreciate buying a $27,000 car and being told that they are working on a solution. Very disappointed in my new kia already having all these problems and only 11,000 miles on it.
