Lack of acceleration from a stop. When starting from a stop, the vehicle will very slowly move forward with the rpm stalling at approximately 1500 rpm and further depressing of the gas pedal fails to allow it to accelerate further. Wife had issue with trying to get on the freeway when this occurred, it was a safety issue, she was trying accelerate on the on ramp, almost hit from behind. She managed to get to the shoulder and get to the side road. After getting to destination and stopping for awhile, the car started and operated normally to get home. Back to kia, after test drive they were able to duplicate once. There were no warning lights or failure codes. They kept car for six weeks trying to see issue again. We now have a flight recorder installed for a week recording any issues. If we see issue, we have to activate recorder by pushing a button, taking attention off of road. Wife will not drive car unless just around the block.

The end of October 2018 my 2014 kia Sorento motor blew up. We heard the knocking on a weekend, kia said to bring it in and it stalled halfway there. Had to call my insurance because kia would not pay for towing. My kia had been checked the year before for the engine recall, of course it passed. It took 2 months to get my car back, they did provide a rental. A month later (Jan. 2019) I smelled gasoline very strong in my car. Had my husband test drive it to make sure that is what it was because I had just put in a full tank of gas. Sure enough I called warner kia of parkersburg again, once again refused towing even though I already knew about the issue with the fuel lines from the engine replacement. I had to call kia consumer affairs to get this car towed to warner kia. Turns out they forgot to replace a bracket during the engine replacement, not very Smart in my opinion for so called certified mechanics. I got it back again Feb. 2019. Now it is March 2019, my transmission appears to be slipping, hesitating to pick up speed. I almost got hit by a semi trying to get onto the interstate because car would not go fast enough. My uncle tried to see if he could check my transmission fluid and of course it is encased, but while doing this he noticed the engine coolant was very low. The level is below l. My engine was just replaced not too long ago and it was in the shop again for more work just last month. I am beyond frustrated. I have made concerns with kia consumer affairs and have not gotten anywhere. I will owe on this car for another 2 years and it looks like it won't last. Also upside down on loan. Now I am scared that my car will catch on fire or cause an accident with my children in my car all because kia can not make better vehicles or at least try to reimburse their customers to keep them happy. I want a new car, and I want kia to pay for it and others vehicles.

Sc147. Why wasn't all the 2014 kia Sorentos included in this recall. My vehicle stalled out on me today doing the same thing that this recall was for. Reported it to kia and they won't do anything. My vehicle was going 55 when it lost acceleration and no power steering and the lights flashing on the dashboard with all of the warning lights on. Coasted into a parking lot, thank god no other traffic was around.

2014 Sorento engine was replaced 9/2017@ shawnee mission kia per recall sc147. Before replacement, there were no catalytic converter issues. After since 3/2018, it had four (4) catalytic converter failures in ten (10) months & 4 replacements @4 different shops latest 2/2019. All shops said they failed due to extreme overheating which could also cause a fire. 3rd shop also noted �excessive blow-by�, said it's not normal for a new engine with 20,000 miles on it -- which my replacement engine should be if it was correctly replaced with a new properly functioning engine in 9/2017 (car had @140k. Then) all 4 happened while driving, twice on highway, twice on city streets. 1st time, out of town, on highway. All very dangerous sudden loss power/speed and stalling. Scary. Very stressed, not knowing when & where may happen next, with strong possibility of accident, fire, or both. Tried to talk to dealership about failures being caused by the engine replacement, but without even checking car, they said impossible. Research shows otherwise: (NHTSA ,center for auto safety, a lawsuit case: 1:18-cv-02716 filed: 04/16/18 in the united states district court for the northern district of illinois (not mine), kia tech service bulletins. . . Now there's a new 2/2019 recall for my car for high pressure fuel pipe, due to replacement engine work not done properly. & soul's just recalled for catalytic conv. Failure due to overheating-even though engines are different, I believe my car should be likewise recalled. Kia has history of denying wrong, & then very slowly doing ever expanding recalls. I cant afford to wait. Couldnt afford dealer prices;still,4 failures at indep shops cost me thousands in cat conv. Replacements,towing,rental cars,lost income, meals & lodging when stranded out of town& I'm still making car payments. I'm requesting reimbursement from kia& a car thats actually safe.

Car began randomly not starting. New battery installed in November 2016. Repeated issue 6 days later and again 6 days after that. Remembering back to first time I pushed the start button twice, put foot on brake and put car in reverse and back into park. Car started. First time on a relatively steep driveway. All other times on flat ground. All incidences in a driveway/garage. Took to southwest kia round rock (texas) where it was not able to be duplicated. Replaced brake switch since diagnostics was showing a history. Also fixed a recall item (rear wheel speed sensor) which I never received a recall letter for. Took car home and that evening it would not start. Performed the work around and it started. It has been with the dealer 7 days now and they have been unable to replicate it. Claimed they opened a tech line but when I called kia consumer affairs to open my own file case I was told they show no record of a tech line being opened. My consumer affairs case number is 12421090. I have now emailed the gm, service manager and the service advisor after having no communication from them at all for the last week. I am concerned it will fail while driving and fear the safety issue this could cause - being hit by another car, etc. The car is still under warranty. It has 40k miles on it and I've owned it for 3 yr and 8 mo.

For about a year my car would stall when I would turn. It would happen occasionally. Sometimes it would be more frequent than others. Then last week I was driving and the engine cut off again and I had to pull over and put it in park and restart start the car again. This is very dangerous. If I were on the highway and this happened it could cause a serious accident.
