Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2017 Kia Motor Sorento

1. The snow white paint is lifting and peeling in all areas of the vehicle. 2. The engine, despite proper care and maintenance, is seizing occasionally upon starting the vehicle. 3. Auto braking system and lane departure turns off at random.

On March 14, 2024 at approximately 11:40, while driving on a private driveway, which had no other cars or pedestrians on or near it, my vehicle performed its own emergeny braking effort to bring the car to a stop. The standard kia emergency braking warking text displayed on the dashboard declaring the incident. However, no other vehicles or pedestrians were in hundreds of feet of the vehicle or presented a potential obstical that may be crossing in front of the vehcile. The car was traveling approximately 25 mph and came to a complete stop. It felt as though the engine had frozen and all the wheels locked.

I was driving on a highway where maximum speed limit was 65miles. Suddenly my car stalled and restarted again and post that I had a warning for check aeb, auto hold was disabled and traction control was enabled. For a brief moment, I lost steering which may be a result of the stall but then I regained steering. This has happened 4 times in the last 6 months. I stopped the car by the road, turned off the engine and restarted the car. The dashboard still showed the same warnings. I again turned off the car, opened my drivers side door and closed it and then restarted the car. The warning signs went off and then there were no issues post that.
