general problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sorento - part 1

Car stalled several times including as I was turning through an intersection. I took my car to kia ganley if boardman 7870 market street bdmn two, youngstown, ohio 44512. I met w/gerry who I explained the concerns with car stalling reminding him it had been almost 2 years since the jnick sensor issue was detected. So why am I expected to keep driving a dangerous vehicle without the repair needed??!!!! also asked about light assembly replacement delay (per recall) since I'm replacing the turn signal & brake bulbs 5-6 times a year while awaiting a replacement. Assembly.

I am seeing an axle shaft issue for this vehicle and noticed that several vehicles for similar timeline had a safety recall. However, mine is not showing up. Could you look into it and let me know whether my vehicle should also be part of this recall?.

Code p0014 indicates that the bank 1 exhaust camshaft position timing was advanced beyond limits for a pre determined period of time.

Oil leak from under vehicle.

My car paint is peeling very bad the color is snow white pear the hole car.

My vehicle recall having issues no remedy available as of today 4-30-24 I need my specific vehicle recall ready and available for fixing at the local dealership recall alert not fixed recall needs remedy to fix or replace due to fire safety concerns.

Some unknown the vechicle wire and cable has shortage/ electrical problems, no accident occur.

I got a recall on my kia in November about it potentially catching fire. My engine light came on and there is no remedy for the recall and it’s been 5 months. This is unacceptable because I don’t want to drive my car around while it could potentially catch fire. I need this to be remedied ASAP.

The white paint has recently started peeling off in large sections in one area. Another area has a smaller section now missing. This has not been looked at by the dealer but online research shows that this has been a problem with kia vehicles with white paint. This could be a safety risk if these pieces come off when driving, which has fortunately not happened yet.

On November 15, I was driving my vehicle in traffic. As I approached an intersection, I looked in my rear-view mirror and noticed smoke trailing behind the vehicle. I attempted to brake, but there was no braking action. The vehicle rolled to a stop. Immediately, smoke and flames poured from the front end of the vehicle, under the hood. My passenger and I were able to exit the vehicle as the flames grew in size and engulfed the engine compartment of the vehicle. Video shot by a bystander showed flames under the vehicle as well, just prior to getting it stopped. Shortly after the incident, I was told that there were recalls on some kia sorentas, so I checked the NHTSA website and the VIN showed it was included in kia's latest recall. I had not received anything from kia prior to the fire. However, I did receive an interim recall notice on November 24.

Steering jerks to left at highway speeds. Feels like motor driven power steering is causing this and leads to over correctional at highway speeds. Also rear end noise when turning at slow speeds.

Engine cooling system failure on my second engine after it being replaced ounce already still the same thing overheating millions of recalls on 2013 kia serento with cooling system failures why am I have to buy another engine with 2 years of replacing my original with the same problem my vehicle VIN need to be added with the rest of the same year make an model.

Unknown. Vehicle at fire risk when parked. The hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu) may experience an electrical short circuit, which can result in an engine compartment fire while driving or parked.

Car caught fire in the engine compartment.

Paint on roof and hood is excessively peeling like thousands of other white kia's. . .

Yesterday, when I went to start my car, it barely turned over. Today it started fine but while I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection during rush hour, my car shook violently for about 3 seconds and then stalled. It didn’t lose battery power but was completely off. I attempted to restart it 5 times. First, it wanted to turn over but didn’t. Second, the engine just clicked a couple times. Third through fifth, it didn’t even attempt to start. There was absolutely no warning that this was going to happen and no check engine lights. After waiting a couple more minutes, it finally turned over, still with no check engine light, and I was able to get myself home safely. We weren’t able to replicate the issue. We checked the fuel pump, battery power, the starter and checked for any codes even though there isn’t a check engine light on. All of which were fine. I bought this car used and it was apart of the engine recall a few years back. I’ve looked up other peoples description of what happened to them before they had there engines replaced and more than 10 of them were similar to what happened to me today. I have a one year old and am now terrified to even drive my car with her in it because I don’t know if or when this is going to happen again or if it is going to happen while driving next time.

Paint is bubbling / peeling off causing rust on this 2013 white kia Sorento.

The paint started peeling from the hood in my field of vision.

Yesterday I drove home from work and this morning when leaving I notice paint missing from my car near the passenger side of the windshield. There is no reason this should be happening. My car is kept in a garage. This is a paint defect and I would like this taken care of. I will be calling kia in the morning and will be getting a lawyer.

Car shuts down in the middle of driving and cannot idle. Had transmission 1x lat year and battery replaced 2x. Even after repairs car randomly does this. I have taken it to shops several times but no one knows what the problem is. . . . When it randomly chooses to do it, I cannot accelerate, and the car power will go out in the middle of driving decreasing the speed dramatically. Right after it does it the car will stop and turn off like it has a dead battery, except it turns right back on. All of the check engine lights on the inside start to going on. . . . Check engine, battery, oil, tire traction etc. . . .

I typically work from home. Started driving on the highway more frequently and one night came out to complete sheets of paint completely delaminated from the roof of my car. It's very clear that there was a process mistake and the paint never bonded to the metal of my vehicle. I also am afraid to wash the roof of my car, in fear of more paint coming off. This spot will likely be an issue during winter as well. Car paint should never do this from the factory, it's setting the vehicle up to fail. This would be considered a latent defect and has affected many vehicles, specifically in the pearl white paint color such as my own.

The door handel broke off and the backup camera, radio system stop working no viewing for rear camera.

Drove approximately 6 miles from home to grocery store, parked car, did shopping and on way home 3 lights lite up on dash, abs - esc-tpms. Just had serviced on 8/1/2022 with 111279 miles, currently has 111,378 miles on it. Vehicle is garage kept and I'm retired. I have had the car serviced at the dealership where vehicle was purchased.

Paint is delaminating from the vehicle.

Throttle. I was pulling into a parking space my vehicle started to reved up and took off. I had to slam on the brakes to get stopped. I almost hit a building. This was very frightening for me. I had it towed to a dealership. They stated they could not find anything wrong with it. I am not happy with them not finding anything. I am afraid to drive it that I may happen again if I hit the building I would of been seriously injured or killed as well as the people in the building. Thank god no one was walking in front of me. They would of been killed.

Transmission doesn’t shift like it should. I have replaced the drive belt, crank sensor, accelerator pedal sensor, tune up, valve cover gasket and still having problems with this car. An recall came up on the engine but kia dealership only advised me that the issues I paid for above would solve the issue. I just got this vehicle in February and feel like I’m paying for a lemon. Seats no longer want to fold down.

I have several areas around my windshield and hood that the paint is coming off.

The car brake failed while I was driving. The brake warning light came on. The warning light was off after I added brake fluid. After driving for about 10 miles, the warning light came back on. The car is losing brake fluid fast. I cannot find any trace of brake fluid leak. The car is available for inspection. After I picked up the car from the dealer after motor replacement recall, my remote control for the door lock system no longer works.

It’s been losing power and suspension is horrible the steering was tight and now it’s so loose there is so much vibration in the floorboard too I know I’m going to lose control soon.

I have a pearl white 2013 kia Sorento and the paint is just peeling and falling off. I was informed there was a recall on this particular paint.

On my 2013 kia Sorento the driving shift is giving me problems. I have to move the gear stick around more then 3-5 times for the car to actually drive. I can reverse with no problems, but when I put the car on drive, it does not drive, until I move the gear stick around a couple of times, then the drive will work. I don't know if its called the drive gear or driving shift. Sorry that I don't know the correct name for this. Hope this gives a clear description on what is going on with my car.

Exterior paint is rapidly falling off the car, to the degree that the outer paint will completely delaminate. It appears to be a serious manufacturing defect, as the car has been properly cared for, and the peeling has nothing to do with scratches, dents or other abrasions. The peeling paint is accessible to children, including my own, who could easily get it on their hands and ingest, making it a major hazard. I've taken it to two auto body shops, who refuse to touch up the peeling areas, because they insist that the only fix is a complete paint strip and repainting of the entire car.

I have emailed kia three times now with no response. My paint is chipping off my car, and would like it fixed, being that it was a paint recall!!!!.

The Sorento truck start off by self went I drive more the hour went I brake the truck sout off .

My 2013 ex Sorento when idling with the a/c on, “pants” or “pulse” struggling to idle. But…. If I turn off the a/c the rpm “smooths out” and is consistent in idling. This began about 2019 March. Current miles: 56,000 and current on maintenance, inspections and oil changes. (two drivers only) will there be a recall for this?.
