Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Sorento

Car was sounding funny. Had recently did oil change about a week ago. I took car to kia and they said I had recalls that needed to be done. Kia did all the recalls on my car and installed knock system. They called me to pick up car and the car shut off of them. Called kia and they first approved the dealer to purchase the new engine. They then sent an email denying the purchase of a new engine. This has been going on for several weeks. They are saying engine had failed when car went to dealer but why would they perform work on a car's engine that already failed. They are refusing to fix car.

I purchased this vehicle less than 2 months go. I was driving on the highway and came to a red light. The car jerked and did not want to move when the light turned green. I came to a second red light and the light turned green as I press the gas the car shut off in the middle of heavy traffic. I could not get the car to crank again. I finally got help from someone who help push the car to a near parking lot.

Heading to a family event, we were on the highway and the kia suddenly shut down with no warning. We had to get over two lanes going 60 mph, traffic was moving and we had to make a sudden exit off the road and were almost rear ended in the process. Once we got over we coasted off and parked in the nearest parking lot. We discovered there was little to no oil on the dipstick, there was no oil light warning, no engine light or any other signs it was low on oil. The oil has been changed regularly. We brought it into the shop and was told it needed a new engine. Now my 2015 kia Sorento needs an engine replacement that I cannot afford and since I purchased it used it is no longer under the kia warranty. I'm making payments on a vehicle that I can't drive and I see no reason that the oil should have been low, especially without any warning light. As of today the vehicle starts with knocking, but dies frequently with no warning. There is still no engine light on.

While driving on the interstate my SUV loose excelarate and engines light and oil pan light came on I pulled over and engine shut down try turning SUV over and it did not turn over I had it towed and machanic said the engine is freeze up.

2015 kia Sorento awd engine seized. I was driving and without and warning the car shut down and wont start. I found out this is not new. Now I have to find out how to continue to take care of my wife and kids without a car. I've seen so many complaints about the engine I have and there has been no investigation and this is a dangerous situation recalls for the same thing have been sent out but not for the 2015 kia Sorento. I really hope some one does something about this. I was on a busy road slowing down for a red light and car shut off almost hitting the car in front of me. Again no warnings. I also smelled smoke like wires burning.

Heading home on the highway and it shut down and I coasted it off the road. We discovered there was no oil in it but had no oil light warning or any other signs it was low on oil. The oil had been changed a few months before and was due to be changed in a couple of weeks. Now my kia needs an engine replacement that I can't afford and since I purchased it used it is no longer under the kia warranty. I'm making payments on a vehicle that I can't drive and I see no reason that the oil should have been empty especially with no warning light.

This is my 4th time having to call a tow truck for my vehicle. I was reversing out of a parking space, and tried to put car in drive , car would not do anything. I tried again to put car in drive, would not budge. Could not take key out of ignition, could not move steering wheel. Later on tried to take keys out of ignition, it let me ,but would not start still. Had it towed to dealership, did not find anything but a dead battery. I bought a new battery. Picked car up. Drove to store about 10 miles from home, same thing happened again. Had it towed again. Same conclusion . Did not find anything again. Drove car home. I may drive my car once a week. The next time I drove my car again it stopped on me in the middle of traffic , with no warning , the car just shut down. Someone stopped and pushed me out the middle of street. Thank god. Had it towed again to kia dealership . Needless to say, they found nothing but a dead battery. Battery was less than 3 months old. Bought from kia. Made it home safely. 3 days later started car, turned on air, waited until cool inside . Car cut off even before leaving driveway. Could not believe it. This time it started right back up, to no avail, cut off again.

Was driving my kia and the engine light came on and the car shut down, no power at all. I didn't have time to get off of the road. The car is being towed to the dealership in the morning. I'm so disappointed / mad with kia manufacturer. I was driving in 6 lanes of traffic in downtown atlanta earlier, what would of happened if it would have stalled out on that busy interstate . . God is good. . . . . Do not buy a kia � repeat do not buy a kia �.

Was driving down the interstate, the engine completely shut off, I had no signs of my car needing oil wasn't due for a oil change for another 1,000 miles, my engine light never flashed the car never jerked or nothing just shut off and would not testart, called the tow truck he advised me that my motor was locked up, upon pulling the oil stick out I didn't not have 1 drop of oil in my car, I had no smoke or anything coming from my car it is a 2015 kia Sorento however on the door it has a 2014 manufacturing date.

On 3/10/2019, I was out of town, driving on the highway when my car lost speed, engine light came on and car shut down and wouldn't start back up. Had to have car towed to near by shop and had to find a way back home, which was 2 hours away. On 3/11/2019, shop stated that my engine had froze. He could understand why engine froze because it had oil and I wasn't due for an oil change until another 800 miles. Shop owner informed me that he have had 3 other customers with the same make and year who car did the same thing. I have taken my car to kia on several occasions for evo systems reading problem with system and told them that I heard a knocking and shaking in my engine. I have read about several other case similar online. Clearly there is a problem with the engines in the 2015 kia Sorento that you all aren't willing to investigate or admit too.

I was driving my car home from work and it shut off on me as I was driving on a busy city street. I tried to start it and it just kept shutting off. I had someone hook up a computer on it and it said something was wrong with my camshaft timing. I had no warnings leading up to this. It just shut off in the middle of driving it.
