Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sorento

I have 112782 miles on this car. I got a check engine light come on and found that had a code p200a. An intake manifold bank #1 problem. After doing research on this it looks like a long ongoing problem with Hyundai and kia's. 4 cylinder and 6 cylinders engines.

While driving engine oil lamp lights and since I was less than 2000 yards from home, I costed into driveway. Engine off, I lifted hood and checked oil and it showed nothing. Looking behind car, I notice oil all over back of car rear and some on road and driveway. Filled oil and restarted only to see oil being pumped seemingly out of rear main and front of trans. Took to nearest dealer who fixed problem under 50k warretee. It was oil sending switch located under intake manifold. Seal between metal body of switch and electric connection of same blow out. Seems like epoxy did not hold. Less than 17 k miles later, same thing happens on highway exit ramp had towed 85 miles back to local area since kia couldn't find mechanic to work on it during hunting season. 1500 dollars later after showing mechanic links to the oil leak fix. . . They fix again the same oil sending switch. Some people have had it replaced 3 to 4 times. Canada has this part as a recall. Why not the USA yes I paid for it as warrantee expired due to 5 years.

While driving car home from a short trip, we started noticing a noise that seemed to sound like a small muffler leak. No loss of power or any warning lights were apparent at all. Continued driving thinking I could have the hole in muffler fixed the next day. After traveling some 30 miles to our exit, getting off the enter state, the car stalled, still no warning lights indicating anything was wrong, . The car restarted and I continued to drive home until it stopped again. I called for road assistance and had it towed to my mechanic.

Kia replaced my engine twice, due to oil consumption. A month after the first engine replacement, I had the same problems. . Smoke coming out of exhaust, loss of power, stalling and oil consumption. I was in and out of kia's service department. They told me nothing was wrong! I moved from CO to ne, my husband and I had to add oil every 100 miles, with smoke coming out of exhaust and stalling. Lincoln ne kia found an oil leak at the exhaust manifold right away! kia instructs then to replace my engine again! once they replaced engine, they still saw the leak at the exhaust manifold with resulted in more guessing and parts. The day after I picked it up, my husband and I went out to dinner and my Sorento died in the middle of the road. Right away called and got it back in. At first they could not duplicate, however after taking it 50 miles, it died 3 times. They still can't find anything, but feel it may be the throttle body. They put a used one on and have me drive it a few weeks, it didn't die during that time, so they ordered a new one and installed. A month later I drive to CO, I break down, it's towed back and kia can't find anything. I drive it and it dies 1/2 dozen more times, each time I take it right in, but the code has cleared and they can't find anything! finally, it does and the light stays on, it shows it's the map sensor. Kia has a specialist come out to install that and inspect my car. They say it's fixed and safe. I drive to CO on 9/22/17, 2 months later and my engine catches on fire. I loss my brakes, can't put it in park and emergency brake won't work. Flames are everywhere, smoke filling my car. I jump out of my burning, moving car and seconds later the whole thing engulfs in flames! most horrific, awful thing ever! I was lucky enough to have minor injuries. My mental and emotional state are a mess! kia won't do anything!.

My 2013 kia Sorento is using an excessive amount of oil in between oil changes. I haven't found any oil leaks. Upon starting the kia there is a lot of white smoke coming from the tail pipe. Also has a rough idle. Currently in an independent mechanic shop and they aren't finding an oil leak either. Has been doing this for the 3 years I've owned it. Purchased from a car dealer. Have had regular oil changes.

The contact owns a 2013 kia Sorento. When the vehicle was started, black smoke appeared under the hood and the muffler that emitted through the vents inside the vehicle. The contact turned the engine off and called an unknown local kia dealer located in salem, or where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that she did not change the oil when needed; therefore, they would not make any repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was not available.
