Today I was driving to my parents house on a long straight away highway (55mph speed limit). I began passing another vehicle and as soon as I got around him my check engine light, oil light, and battery light came on. I promptly pulled over on the side of the road and shut the car off. I checked oil level, which was fine. No obvious over heating, smoke, or leaks. I decided to turn the car back on to see if the lights were still there but the car wouldn't start. It was completely dead aside from one tiny crank noise then nothing. Luckily someone stopped and we got the car started by jumping it. Went to the local parts store and my battery, starter, and alternator all checked out ok. No further lights or issues the rest of the day. Not sure what happened but I'm scared to drive it long distance now. Never had an issue with this car before this.
On Saturday 9/28 - I happen to notice some leaking near the front of my Sorento near the right wheel . . . I opened the hood and notice a leak all over that side of the car. . . Took the car to mechanic on 9/29 and the mechanic stated oil is mixing into antifreeze . . . Went to 2 mechanics and both directed me to go to dealer as this repair should be covered under warranty since it is a serious and possibly costly defect. . .
I took the car to the kia dealership and they tell me the engine has an oil leak. I believe their kias sportage 2011 & 2012 were also recalled for the same issue. The car has less than 100,000 miles on it and I have owned several cars before and never had an oil leak on the engine at all. They said the repairs were going to cost over $1000 to repair. I believe this car should also be recalled due that they have a history of other models having the same problem. Thank you.
My 2014 kia sorrento ex started leaking massive amounts of oil at 99,000 miles. The undercarriage and the back of my car are covered in oil from the leak that started while driving. Have taken it to the dealership where I purchased it last year. It is the oil pressure sending unit. It will be a $300 repair. When I asked if this was a normal issue with vehicles, he said it was not. I went to look for a recall on this item and found forum's where others had complained about a similar issue at lower mileage but no recall.
