Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sorento

July 3, 2020 car caught on fire. Engine replace 2017. Less than 40,000 miles on new motor. 2019 high pressure fuel pump recalled. It was inspected and replaced.

My car has 73,000 miles and kept well maintained. One day the car wouldn't start. Engine kept turning over and over. I was eventually able to get the car started but it would shake, vibrate, and hesitate while driving. My mechanic said the problem is high pressure fuel pump and it is not cover after 60,000 miles warranty and the part will cost over $850 without the labor. I never had an issue with fuel pump or fuel pump system with a car that has under 100,000 miles on it. This is defect design from kia and they will not cover for it.

Car was parked. Went to start it up to and car wouldn't start. Engine kept turning over and over. First few times this happened, I was eventually able to get the car started but it would shake, vibrate, and hesitate while driving. Eventually, I went to start the car from park and it wouldn't start. I was able to get it started by jumping it, but the vibrations, shaking, and hesitation continued. I took it to the dealership and was told the problem of were the result of low fuel due to a failure with the high pressure fuel pump. While driving home on the highway, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of speed (I. E. 65 mph to 20 mph) and significant decrease in power, which is very dangerous. Car has 71,000 miles on it. All routine services have been performed on the car at the dealership and oil has been changed routinely as specified.
