Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sorento

I was driving on the interstate and at 70 mph I had sudden power failure and the the engine completely died. After about 30 minutes it started up just long enough to go a half a mile and it did the same thing. 10 hrs later it started up again and we were able to have a diagnostic reading done which showed nothing. The battery and alternator were tested and are both working completely fine. Later on it ran fine for about an hour and then suddenly did the same thing again.

My kia Sorento turn off twice when driving and is not the alternator we don't know what it is do you know if there any new recalls ?.

I bought my 2013 kia serento in November of 2017. I had it for 33 days and the alternator went out. I called kia in joplin and they told me to bring up there. Once I arrived, and I set for over half the day, they tell me that my kia is not under warranty and it was going to cost me $1000. After having it replaced the radio shuts off and on by it's self and now the flat tire light stays on all the time. The radio turns on and off while driving and turning. Please help me with this. I am told that there is no recalls on my car.

Headlights burn out, replaced several times and even burns out same day, some part of headlight, lightbulb attachment also melted and was replaced several times. Brought car to different mechanics regarding issue and all reply its an electrical issue with many kia Sorentos, but when you call kia they say its not their problem. Also, driver heated seat stopped working, mechanics unable to find issue said it was electrical short, then seat went on by itself and was unable to turn it off, seat became severely too hot to drive car. Lights blew out while driving, sometimes while car was just turned off, parked in front of my house and even once right away at the mechanics. And most recently, issue with battery. Replaced battery after car wouldnt start, still had issues, replaced alternator, still had problems. Replaced connectors. Its ridiculous. And lights still go out and melt.

While driving at highway speed my wife with 7 year old daughter in car had all the dash lights and interior lights illuminate and the car became sluggish and was hard to drive. I advised he via mobile phone to immediately pull over and turn the car off. I told he to wait a minute and try to restart it and see what happens. All dash lights lit up again and the car made a click, click, click sound over and over again. She tried this 5 times and she had the car towed to the dealer. The dealer replaced the alternator for $946. 14 on 12/23/2014 at dulles kia in leesburg, va.

04-21-2014 @ 5:30 am. Car will not start. No electrical present on any system-nothing. Called kia roadside service and they suggested a jumpstart which we did and the car started. I ran the car for an hour or so with no problems. I took it to a local garage and had the battery and alternator tested and no problems were found. I called kia dealership and described the events to them and they stated that it was simply a dead battery. Next morning (yesterday), the car was totally dead once more. Called kia roadside assistance and they wanted to jumpstart it again. I refused and told them to send me a tow. They did and the car was taken to the closest kia dealership, 65 miles away. Several hours later I called the dealership and they stated that it was a dead battery. They charged the battery for 3-4 hours, tested the charging system and pronounced it "fixed". I left it at the dealership and picked it up this morning (today). It started and my wife is now driving it. I do not believe it was the battery and I expect it to happen again but the dealership's shop will do no further investigation. I'll keep you informed.

Driving on interstate at night at 65 mph lights flicker inside and headlights. Battery warning light comes on and off several times. The vehicle has also had hard shifting around 20 to 30 mph, almost like applying brakes on slow down and an engine rev when speeding up. Next night (Sunday) vehicle lost all power with no warning while driving on two lane highway at night. Made it off to a side road, but engine still running rough, no response to gas pedal, could not shift vehicle to park, had to hold stop button for long time to finally stop engine, lights came back on, but would not start, finally could put in park. Hauled back to dealer. Service replies wasn't on schedule will maybe get to it today. Defective alternator on "e" order will fix all the problems. Wife refuses to drive unsafe, death trap and that she would not had been able to manage safely if she would of been driving when problems shut down the vehicle.
