Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor Problems of Kia Motor Sorento

Wheel speed sensor, abs sensor, and tpms sensor gave out at 56k. Got in one day and it said I was doing 140 while parked. Before I got to my destination, the abs, tcs, and tpms lights were on. Car was used and well taken care of. If everything wasn't built into the wheel hub, it would be a relatively easy fix. Instead I now have to drive my Sorento with no tcs, abs, or know if a tire is low/flat because a quoted cost of repair was close to 1200 dollars. Nobody has 1200 to get it fixed. After looking at online forums, it seems to be common with 2013-2015 Sorento to have anything abs/tcs related go south. Car drives like a dream, only wish it didn't take 2 months rent to feel safe.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 kia Sorento. While operating the vehicle, the abs sensor remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to selbyville holly kia (38015 dupont blvd, selbyville, DE) where it was diagnosed that the driver's side speed sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the rear passenger side speed sensor was previously repaired for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 28,000.

Dash board indicators lit up for (abs) (slip control) and (down hill). Cause, rear wheel speed sensor defective. Requires complete rear wheel hub replacement for both rear wheels.

Three warning lights came on simultaneously while I was driving down the highway at 65 mph. The warning lights were the abs, traction control, and down hill. I took it to precision tune for a diagnosis and was told I need a passenger rear wheel speed sensor.

Left rear wheel speed sensor needs to be fixed. Apparently many others have same issue but there is no recall on my VIN number. Abs warning on, downhill warning and traction control warning light on.

Rear right wheel speed sensor replaced at 136,000. Asb, brake and traction lights all on. Was driving appox 45 miles per hour on city street, no reason for loghts to suddenly come on. Owners manual indicated that battery should be checked for low charge, new battery not indicated in this situation. Had replaced brakes, pads and rotators three months previously. Got three qoutes and kia was $250 more that the other repair options and the indepentent companies included purchasing the sensor from kia.

Driving on the freeway in my 2011 kia Sorento last night, the abs light came on, along with three other lights (all brake related). Lights will not go out, so I took it to the dealership today. They told me it is a rear speed sensoring issue and my anti lock brakes are not working. Fixing it is not under warranty. This is not the first time my kia has electronic issues. But these are dangereous! if your brakes don't work and you are driving on the freeway, danger about to happen.

Bought new 2011 kia Sorento in February and have 11,000 miles on it. I have taken it in several times for the push to start taking a bit to start. It seems as if sometimes it is not going to start. Took it in at 8000 miles and they said it was a brake sensor and the part was on back order. Just got that fixed with 11,000 miles on it. Took kia in this week for a noise in the front wheel because it sounds like the wheel is going to fall off. Problem was not fixed. Said kia was working to resolve issue with brake pad but that it was safe for me to drive and that nothing would happen. Not to happy about my service not getting taking care of when I take it in. Apparently they need to just replace our cars if they can't fix it. I don't appreciate buying a $27,000 car and being told that they are working on a solution. Very disappointed in my new kia already having all these problems and only 11,000 miles on it.
