Check Engine Light On problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Sorento

One day I heard a clicking while driving 65 on the highway. When I pulled into town and slowed down it stopped. I had to stop at a stop sign and when I started to go I heard the clicking again. A couple of days later I was on the highway again going 65, my engine reduced power and my check engine light came on and was blinking. When I stopped the vehicle at the stop sign and started to go so I could pull out of traffic it had a hard time getting power to go. I had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. I am waiting to hear back from then to figure out the issue, but from what I am reading online, it seems kia has alot of engine issues. Fingers crossed its under warranty and it can be fixed as I just spent $3000. 00 6 months ago for a new strut and an entire exhaust system. I only have $129,000 on this vehicle. Very disappointing.

The vehicle was taken to price kia (1390 richmond rd, charlottesville, va 22911) where it was diagnosed with the rod bearings needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 17v224000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000.

The contact's wife owns a 2014 kia Sorento. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to enterprise kia (1509 e. Park Ave, enterprise, al 36330, (334)417-4444) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. . The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.

Engine started knocking and lost some power darning driving. The check engine light came on. This is the 3. 3l gdi engine. This engine is not part of the sc147 recall. I take good care of my cars. I believe the issue I'm having is due to a defect in the manufacturing process. We have a 2012 Hyundai sonata that was covered under a different recall. It initially passed the recall test. The engine failed later with the same symptoms I'm having with the 2014 kia. Something is not right.

Engine seized with no warning. Complete engine failure. We have maintained the vehicle and have had no prior issues. The engine seized at 90,000 miles driving down the road. The check engine light never came on. We have the 100,000 mile warranty and kia has not covered the repairs to the engine. We were advised we need a new engine.

Driving on the highway my car lost power at 11pm on a Saturday nite. It would only go aporox 40mph w the the gas petal to the floor. No check lights came on until aporox a few min from home. Only the check engine light. No overheating no smoke. I took it to my mechanic who determined it was the same issue the 2. 4 engine that was recalled. I have the 3. 3. Also the kia mechanic said the same. Only 70000 miles on the car. Kia at this point is refusing to acknowledge this is a manufacturing issue. They have had my car for 3 weeks and as of yesterday still no answer. I even left a voice mail for sean yoon the ceo. I tried to call mr yoon yesterday but got redirected to thir consumer dept. They said it takes 2-3 days to determine a decision. So im paying for a car and a rental when they already know what the issue is. One consumer dept employee I spoke w said she hasnt had very many complaints about the 3. 3. Well that right there is a red flag! I just want them to do the right thing. They also tried to tell me that because im the second owner and I was past the 60000 mi service warrenty I had no coverage and the 100000 was only for first owner. Its a manufacturers defect not anything we did. We have been loyal kia customers for over 10 years. I feel like because we didnt buy another new kia we are being punished. This cars defect could of seriously injured a lot of people if this would of happened during a busy time of day. I know they are busy taking care of other complaints but to wait 3 weeks is a bit unnerving.

My spouse was driving her kia Sorento home from work when the vehicle would not pick up speed. The lane changed from 2 lanes to 1 lane so she had to merge over doing 70mph. With the lack of being able to accelerate, she had to brake to avoid an accident. When she did merge, the check engine light came on and the vehicle just shut off. She then was able to pull off the road. She turned the car off and tried to restart it and was unsuccessful. She then called our insurance companies roadside service. The tow truck driver tried to see if he was able to get it stated but could not. The vehicle was then towed to the kia dealer in killeen, texas. The service advisor called us back and informed us that the entire engine had to be replaced. My wife could have been seriously injured or even killed. There was apparently a recall on these vehicles that we were not notified by either mail or a phone call. This is completely un-acceptable.

Last week while on the highway going about 65mph my check engine light came on(stayed on) and my vehicle started knocking. I went home parked it for the night and called the dealership the next morning. The dealership said as long as the check engine light was solid (not flashing) it was safe to drive the 30 min to bring it to them. They called today to state the engine is blown due to metal shavings in the engine and oil. I am lucky the car even made it there, since the engine has "blown" since they have had it!!!! I have kept up having oil changed regularly, and I do have receipts. They are saying my I need a whole new engine and it is not covered and my warranty is expired even though I received a letter in the past stating the warranty was extended to 120,000 miles!! they say they have no record of the letter, so it must be fake!!. I dont know what I'm going to do I used all of my savings to buy this car for $22,000 just three years ago!!!!! it currently only has 79k miles on it!!.
