general problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Sorento

Was driving to the store for groceries with my 2 young children, when my car just stopped accelerating and the engine seized up on a local road. Had noticed a ticking and knocking sound when accelerating a few prior and a weird sound coming from the suspension but it was dismissed by the dealer. Had the vehicle towed to my home and had to tow to dealership as it would no longer turn over at all. Received a recall notice but apparently it doesn't apply to my vehicle because I had oil, coolant and no leaks anywhere. Only had 127,000 mold and this is the 4th issue I've had with this vehicle. 1st was rats chewing all my wires, 2nd was the rear differential, 3rd fuel pump, and now this.

My kia Sorento was purchased from kia in 2018 - 1st - I had to take the car back to check the rear breaks due to a shaking of the car that happens when going over 50mph. The driver side head light goes out every couple months. Recently the battery light came one, after the battery was swapped (the car still wouldn't power on)- they ran a few tests and discovered an electrical issue. I have tan my VIN for the recall but my car doesn't seem to be eligible for any recalls that mention an electrical issue with the kia.

Abs, traction, and tire warning lights all come on at same time, the tire warning light blinks for a minute or so. I checked for low pressure in tires and it was not the problem vehicle seems to function fine no traction issues no abs issues that I can see or feel in driving, saw the recall for the awd but mine is fwd.

My Sorento has started burning oil. It makes a terrible noise when running. Sometimes the lights for my backup camera doesn't work nor my radio. Sometimes the radio if on, station can't be changed. It is like it is in a frozen mode.

Vehicle is not being driven because the axle is busted. We are not sure why his happened. When I drive the Sorento, it pulls to the right very strong. I am not sure how long it takes fort that to happen, but it happens every time the car reaches a full stop. Also, when I maneuver and make. Turn to the left, it sounds like it pops. It's a scary feeling.

I had to replace the rear differential on my passenger side. I had two estimates done was told it's hard for that to go out. I ended paying to have it replaced since the SUV was not drivable.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 kia Sorento. The contact stated that while stopped and about tomove forward the vehicle rolled back and lifted up. The contact then heard a load noise and pulled over to the side of the road. She checked the tires and saw nothing was wrong there and had the vehicle towed back to her home and the next day towed to the dealer kia of lansing 5737 s pennsylvania Ave, lansing, mi 48911 (517) 393-5700. The contact found the dealer staff initially very rude to her. The contact called the manufacturer and asked to speak to a representative and was referred to the dealer. The vehicle was still under a warranty and the dealer discovered that the rear differential had collapsed in back of the vehicle. The dealer informed the contact that the cost for the repairs was to be up to $3,000. The contact wanted to check for possible recalls. The dealer tried to say the contact only had a five year warranty when she had a ten year warranty or 100,000 miles. The contact currently had 74,000. Miles. The contact had to fight with the dealer to finally get a loaner vehicle while the repairs were done. Afterwards the contact felt the steering was off and the manufacturer refereed her to another dealer. The contact insisted of not going out of her way to another dealer when that one was closest to her home. Overall the contact still does not feel safe in her vehicle and believes the dealer overall was extremely rude and difficult to deal with. Currently the vehicle had not been rechecked to adjust the steering. The failure mileage was 34,685. Tf.

My airbag lights going on and off when it wants to , sometimes when starting it will stay on , or you will driving it will come on , when you turn the wheel it comes on, also many times been reported to dealer a popping noise going on, dealer says they cant find issue �. .

My 2014 kia Sorento started having axil problems just recently. I am well aware that this was a problem with front wheel drive and their were recalls of that same year make and model. Mine is awd and this should be included as this only started happening at 60k.

I have a 2014 kia Sorento sxl 3. 3 ltr v6 with 119, 952 miles on it. On 11/26/2018 after pulling in the drive way and existing the car I smelled what I believed to be an antifreeze smell. My car did not have any warning indicators on and my temperture gauge was normal. I took my car to dobbs on 11/27/2018, paid $30. 95 and told it was leaking head gaskets which cost $4500-$5000 to repair. I decided to call kia consumer affairs and had my car towed to a kia dealership for diagnostics and they decided I needed a motor, the cost would be $7600. I then called consumer affairs back and was told by the agent she would submit a request for a goodwill repair. Kia agreed to replace my motor as the technician diagnosed, but I am responsible for labor at $140/hour for 21. 4 hours. I really appreciate kia replacing the motor, obviously due to some type of defect. Wondering if there will soon be a recall on it. I've had 2 steering columns installed, alternator, lower oil pan and still a popping noise. I was told on the 4th time of complaining to dealer services, they tighten an axle nut. Well the nut must be loose again because the popping is back. Could this be a problem with the axle which has been recalled on other models?should my motor also have been a part of the motors most recently recalled. Could my strut have started leaking due to an adequate amount of corrosion substance not being applied ? I replacind my struts,rotors, breaks and 4 new tires. I love my car, this is my second kia. I am greatful, but a little disappointed about paying $3000. My 2 month old daughter passed away in her sleep on March 15. 2017 and left me with the stress of losing her, funeral cost and now this. I am a single mother; therefore money is tight. Cars similar to mine have caught on fire due to faulty motors and that is really a scary thought.

Back up camera stopped working and just shows a black screen sensors still work but that is all. Also when I turn the car hard right or left it sounds as though the tires are hitting the wheel well with a loud crunchy thud.

When braking, brakes give out and car skids. On turns, I have to pump brakes to try and regain control.

Everytime I put the car in drive it makes a harsh banging noise. It also decides to just shut off as soon as I press on the gas or slow down after I've already started going on city streets I can also hear and feel clicking under driver's side floor board as I'm turning into drive ways,parking spots etc. This is an everyday thing that started last year.

The suspension in the slightest bump that falls, it does not protect it hits dry it has no support, the steering wheel from zero miles is a rattle even though we take it to its guarantee they never fixed it, in the same way the brake discs to the emergency braking as they skid, sweep; you have to step on the pedal several times for it to respond . . .
