Check Engine Light On problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Sorento

Driving on the highway my 2016 kia Sorento suddenly lost acceleration. The check engine light began flashing. I had to pull off to the shoulder and have the vehicle towed. Diagnostic shows code p1326. This code is related to the knock sensor.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 kia Sorento. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle was slow to respond. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact called matt blatt kia (6211 e black horse pike, egg harbor township, NJ 08234, (609) 573-3100) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was referred to the dealer for assistance. The contact stated the failure was similar to NHTSA campaign number: 15v089000 (vehicle speed control). The failure mileage was 124,510.

My vehicle is only 5 years old and has 70,000 miles on it. I was driving on the highway and then all of a sudden my vehicle would not accelerate. My check engine light can on and continued to blink--which is not a good sign and indicates obvious serious engine issues. There is no way a car that new with that many miles should have engine issues.

I had about 62,500 miles on the vehicle. We were driving down the highway and it was just blowing cold air from the heater. The vehicle started to stall and rapid decellerate. Thankfully the highway wasn't too busy and we just made it across the lanes to the shoulder; it could've been very tragic if we got stuck in a lane, especially since there was no warning with a check engine light before this. The vehicle was smoking. We got it towed to a repair shop and they confirmed it was overheating but couldn't diagnosis full engine issue. We had to get to a kia dealer to do an engine tear down. They found 6 threads stripped and decided then it needs a new engine. We've consistently done our oil changes and maintenance so is very concerning how quickly and severely this engine issue came up. Unfortunately we are just past the 60k mile warranty and kia is willing to only offer minor assistance despite evidence of other vehicles having similar engine issues.

2016 kia Sorento with 67,000 miles had flashing check engine light. Car was towed to the kia dealership in which the service advisor said the fuel injector was broken which spilled fuel into the motor causing $7,800. 00 of damage. The diagnosis sis not and will not determine if it is a faulty injector and kia will not participate in covering the other parts effected in the warranty. They offered a good grace assistance for $2,500 but offered a higher price on the parts saying they are parts covered in a factory manufacturing warranty. Regardless I never had symptoms of a worn fuel injector and believe the fuel injector is and was faulty and should be investigated further. The kia managers believe this is normal for cars and that they will not comply with the warranty because of the injector causing the damage. The injector is not covered in the limited 100,000 mile warranty. This happened on Monday September 16, 2019 and was on a access road 5 miles away from my home. Currently the car is at the dealership while I wait for the next supervisor from kia corporate call me in regards to the final offer on this repair.

When trying to speed up to merge onto the highway my check engine light came on blinking and my car was chugging and would not go past 2 rpms. Second tine this has happened since bought my car at the beginning of August.

A part which was replaced during a recall, failed. The kia dealership wants to charge me $800 to replace that part. Plus, not cover a car rental. I feel the charge is unjustified. The car hesitated and cut off 300 miles from my home. The check engine light came on, and I feared continuing to drive the car.
