I was returning home from a trip (traveling @~70 mph) when I suddenly lost all power and had to coast to the shoulder on the sb 5 fwy. I was fortunate as there were many large trucks and other vehicles which I was able to avoid. As I came to a stop the car shut off and I was unable to restart it. 12 hours later and hundreds of dollars in towing fees, I had my mechanic take a look and was told the engine had seized. What!!! I had recently had a scheduled oil change and was not due for a couple of thousand miles. This all occurred without warning: no check engine light, low pressure oil indicator, or even overheating temperature. Waiting to get it back from my mechanic where I will park it and continued to make payments on a vehicle that cosmetically looks great but is worthless. Quick quote for new engine and labor is about 6 to 7k. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a nightmare that starts with a k and end with an IA.

Driving home end of work day every thing was normal driving down 66 and check engine light came on then . 5 miles later lost power tower home has been making popcorn like sounds from engine being told it's the pistons.

The contact was informed that the fuel lever limit bolt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to kia of chattanooga (2136 chapman rd, chattanooga, TN 3742, 423 855-1022) however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure of retrieve a fault code due to the check engine warning light not being illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 143,670.

My car started stuttering and then the check engine light came on and started flashing. Got the code read at a kia dealership and it was determined through a diagnostic that we needed a new engine. We replaced the engine and the car is still stuttering and having gas mileage issues. When the check engine light flashes, my gas mileage is affected and when the check engine light stays on, my vehicle runs normal. My vehicle starts stuttering at around 30-35 mph, when it's first started and driven, it stutters. My check engine light will also randomly start blinking when driving on the freeway and loose power momentarily, then when I accelerate, it feels like it's choking or sputtering and struggling to maintain speed.

Vehicle continually flashes check engine light and once read at dealership shows engine misfire codes, however once code is cleared issue does not come back for months. Misfire causes decreased engine poser and eventually if code is not cleared will result in loud dinging noise. Kia has not been able to find any issues or find anything that can explain this. There are multiple people online with this same issue and yet no recall for this issue. Kia needs to do something. Vehicle can be sitting or in motion under normal operating environments (no off-roading).

Gossett kia on mt. Moriah in memphis, TN repaced my engine in 2019 due to a recall but after my engine was replace my check engine light has constantly been coming on. I have taken my kia Sorento back to the dealership numerous time onle to be told that I am not putting my gas cap on right or tat my gas cap needs to be replaced. I have purchased 3 gas caps from this dealer ship. I will be driving down the street and the check engine light will just come on. This issue did not start until they put in the new motor. However no one at the dealership checked the censor. I have replace numerous parts on my car and all the replacements were done at the dealership. I have requested from the dfealership a print out of all the repairs to my kia and as of todays date I have not recieved it. I have mad the request 3 times. Once over the telephone and 2 times in person . I feel defeated but I am not giving up. They need to find out what the problem is. I am 71 years old and they seem to think I don't know what I am talking about. My name is denon harris and I live at 1277 gill in memphis, TN. 38106 my phone # is 901 303 2549 I have an appoint to take my truck to kia again to check the engine light 01 08 2020. If they had checked the censor when t his first happened it would probably still be covered under my warranty. Now I will probably be out of pocket to replace the censor.

My 2015 kia had its faulty engine replaced approximately 6 months ago. I drive this car approximately 9,000 miles over these months and drive it on vacation from ohio to wilmington, nc. The car was thoroughly checked by the dealer before we went on the trip- everything checked out fine. Halfway through our vacation, the check engine light came on and stayed blinking. We had it towed to a dealer in wilmington, nc. They informed us that we had a bad knock sensor, kia was covering the cost as it was part of our new engine warranty. How does this happen with a brand new engine? there is no reliability, am I supposed to limit my driving because I can’t depend on my car? what about resale value - clearly I’ve got a real lemon here. Where is my recourse?.

2015 kia Sorento -blinking check engine light and sputtering occurred while operating on congested roadways in and out of inclement weather. Strong burning smell coming from engine. No warnings prior to this event with engine.

Driving on the highway going about 75 in the fast lane when the check engine light came flashing on and the car slowed down to 60 would not accelerate at all was able to get it to the dealership. On the way to the dealership I noticed shifting from 1st to 2nd it did not want to go. I was told the car was in limp mode and then got told the engine had to be replace. Estimated time for my car to be returned to me 2 months. When we first got the car was March 2019, a few days into driving it I noticed that it was shifting weird from first to second and had a hard time down shifting. We took the car back they said it's just a newer car to you and everything is fine. I said fine whatever. Now it's may and it needs a new engine. This is ridiculously dangerous we have 3 kids and what if we all were in the car and it just shut down a high speed.

This vehicle was purchased Dec 1 2018 and the knock sensor failed on the trip back from the dealership. It was replaced and now April 22nd 2019 less than 5 months later it has failed again and left me stranded. The check engine light is flashing and the vehicle is stuck in limp mode. This model is known for this problem and should be added to the recall list.

In March of 2019, the engine in this car blew without being out of oil or having any warning lights on (no check engine light). It initially started with what sounded like maybe a fan issue or something- while driving. At that time we confirmed that there was oil in the car and without a light or system indication, we had no reason to suspect something major and made plans to have it checked out. But the noise very quickly progressed and my mechanic brother confirmed that the noise sounded like the motor was blown (low end rod knock). I contacted the local kia dealership (wallingford/meriden, CT) for a service appointment and was told flat out that because I had purchased the vehicle from my father in law- the warrantee would not transfer and we would be responsible for the cost. This was not possible and we had no choice but to park it until hopefully one day kia would recall it or I could get my hands on a descent engine that may not have the exact same issue. In the interim I placed another call and was told that the information I first received about the warrantee not transferring was incorrect but now it had expired. My father in law would roll in his grave knowing how much he advocated for kia and their warrantees and that this car sits unusable.

Sitting at a red light I noticed my check engine light flashing. The light turned green and when I pushed the accelerator I had zero power. It was able to go up to 20mph and I was able to make it up the hill and into my work parking lot. I called kia and luckily was able to get towed to the dealership. They stated its probably an engine misfire, we'll have you up and running in no time. The next day, I called the dealership (bc I didn't hear from them) and was told "were ordering you a new engine". 6 days later I called again because I still haven't a reason as to why. . I was informed the update they did on my computer did something to my engine and thats their only solution. Mind you the vehicle only has 41k miles on it! apparently that happens alot to kia's but I wish I knew before I purchased this vehicle! total piece of junk and I don't feel safe. Side note: my transmission has always shiftted very hard in the morning (even after a 20min warmup) their looking into that now.

Was driving on a busy intersection on 1/15/2019 around 2:30 pm and doing around 40mph the check engine light began flashing. A short while after the cel began flashing the car rpms slowed down even though the car was in motion & I was pressing on the accelerator. The car behind me began honking their horn because my vehicle was slowing down. I tried to find a street where I could safely pull over. After dodging cars while the car was in a slow rpms motion I pulled over to a side street & shifted the gear to park but kept the engine running and tried to calm down. I decided to head home, after shifting from park to drive I stepped on the accelerator and the car was in motion but the rpms only reached 10mph even though I kept my foot on the gas. And slowly but surely the speed increased. The slow acceleration from a park and stop mode the car was slow to accelerate. The state of my component part or system is unknown. Googled recalls for 2015 Sorento's and found several websites pertaining to a recall on kia Sorento's. However after contacting kia (1-800-333-4542) the representative informed me that my 2015 kia Sorento was not part of the recall. Since my car was only around 50,000 miles she informed me that it's still under warranty. I contacted my local kia dealership (1450 e camelback rd, phoenix, az 85014 602-388-1276) about the issue I am having. The service advisor erik informed me that he would have my car towed to their dealership and check out the issue. Stated "it" "should be" covered since I was under 60,000. I'm waiting on what the mechanic finds and if the issue will be covered.

I bought a 2015 kia Sorento with 85000 miles on it for my stepdaughters first car owned it for 6 months it was great the other day she was driving 50 mph on country road and the engine quite and siezed up no noise no warning no check engine light dealer says it needs a new engine called kia absolutely got no we're even though there a ton off complaints about kia engines doing the same thing they say there's no recalls on this particular vehicle.

Purchased this 2015 vehicle from a regional PA/NJ reseller named carsense in November 2015 with 15,000 miles. Maintained regular service and oil changes, although not always with castrol oil, as required for the carsense extended warranty. Driving on the highway returning from the beach when the engine started a slight knock when accelerating. Stopped and checked the oil level which was fine. Just at 3,000 miles on the oil at the time. No check engine light. Drove further and the check engine light came on and then the engine stalled. Towed to a kia dealer and told engine was seized. As I am a second owner the 100,000 mile warranty did not apply. Vehicle was 909 miles over the 60,000 mile warranty and not covered. Escalated with kia consumer affairs who I chased for over a week with escalation requests. Final answer . . . We are sorry but the car is out of warranty. Would not offer any relief on either parts or labor. Replacing the engine to the tune of $5,400. 00 including replacing a starter which mysteriously "burned up". We have found many similar stories with engine problems that are most likely related to the 2012-2014 2. 4l engine recall.
