We bought the 2013 kia Sorento in September 2012 with 140miles on it. We've had no issues till this year my wife had her 1st stall in mid January while at a stop sign. She never mentioned it to me until it happened a second time in February. It finally happened to me during the second week in March on a Saturday I was bringing my son to baseball practice I pulled out of my driveway drove to the end of the street and stopped at the corner but when I pressed on the gas the car didn't move. It took me a few seconds till I noticed it had stalled it was so quick and silent I didn't hear or feel it stall. I put it in park then started it and it's been fine till today when my wife went to pick up our kids from school. She was driving slowly on the side streets next to the school looking for a parking space when it just died. This is extremely dangerous if this happens and causes an accident or even a fatality kia will have a serious law suit on their hands. I'm bringing my kia to the dealer on April 18, 2013 but when I spoke to the service guy on the phone today he mentioned if there are no codes there's not much to go on to determine a problem.
At an idle, this vehicle runs rough and shakes. It feels as though it will stall. I do not believe this should be happening with a new car. I told the mechanic at my first maintenance check, and he acted as if it would get better with an oil change. It seems to be getting worse. I commute 120 miles a day for work, and I have had the car for 5 months, it has 9000 miles now. Now the radio will not turn on? this concerns me that maybe something electrical is malfunctioning.
Incorrect flywheel was installed on my kia sorrento, most likely by the original manufacturer. It has caused premature failure of my starter motor and various other repairs. The incorrect part belongs to a kia sedona of the same model year.

While on vacation (June 15) we were to stop by the dealer and get our new tags. On i77 at mileage marker 33 in very heavy traffic, the engine quit running. I immediately turned on the emergency flashers. We were in the middle lane and wasn't able to get over to the right (nobody would let us get out of the lane we were in) to get to a safe place . We almost caused multiple accidents. My wife was screaming. I thought that we were going to create a major accident. No matter what I did I was not able to get the car started and it came to a complete stop. People were going around us on both sides beeping their horns and other gestures. After fooling with the gear shifter, I put the vehicle in park it started but when I put it in drive it started to miss and was in the process of stalling when I put it in neutral the engine started to run fine. I then put it in low gear and it started to move forward, once I got some speed (did not look at the speedometer to see how fast I was going) I put it in drive and everything was fine after that. Also, the vehicle runs rough when in neutral and while idling when in gear (varies with no rhyme or reason). The service advisor informed me that kia knew of the problem and were working on it. They should have an answer within two weeks. It is August 13 and that was June 15. On August 7 it happened again. . . Having other problems at times, vehicle missing, starting to stall. . . . I have called the dealership each time a problem happened. . . So far all I got is lip service. Called several hours ago (talked to the salesman) said he was with a customer and will get back to me. No response from him so far. I am at a lost as to what to do my wife is scared and will not drive the vehicle. I am worried that I may cause an accident. Please help me get this problem solved before someone gets hurt or even worst.
