Radio/tape Cd Player Problems of Kia Motor Sorento

My paint began to peal around the frame of the windshield. When I inquired at kia, they claimed that because it was a pre-owned car and I had past my warranty of mileage (because it was a pre-owned car) there is nothing they can do for me. I inquired at a local paint shop and was informed that the seal failed over the paint, causing a DE-lamination issue. Clear evidence shows that my car has never been re-painted and this is in fact a manufacturer malfunction. However, kia still refuses to assist or take ownership of this defect. Meanwhile, my car continues to peel at a rapid pace. Even when I take to get my car serviced, mechanics are unable to perform routine maintenance due to the paint chipping off in their tape and other supplies.

Engine recall my vehicle is in the dealership for the engine recall I also had to have the steering wheel replaced 2 times due to wiring or button malfunctions. Along with the usb port on the stereo. The issue happened again after the warranty coverage ended for that part and they refuse to fix it again after warranty even though it has been a known issue. The usb port comes loose constantly and will not work- they want me to buy a whole new radio to correct this. The volume button on the steering wheel has had issues in the past and now no longer works. . . Again they want me to get a new steering wheel to correct this. . .

All controls on steering wheel stopped working around 120,000 miles. Bluetooth, radio controls and cruise control. All power sockets and usb socket stopped working around 110,000 miles. Whining sound coming from engine area when car is on started around 128,000 miles.

The vehicle was stationary. We are a family of four. One of us open one of the rear doors and the handle came out completely. I don't know if it can be repair or not. I cover the hole with tape to protect the inner parts of the door from the water. The same thing happens with the handle of the other rear door. But in this case it does not come out completely and I use tape to maintain it in position. If something happens and the persons in the back sits are unable to open the rear doors from the inside one of the persons in the front sits have to get out the car and open the door that still have the taped handle. I don't know if this situation is going to affect the mechanism of the interior handles of the rear doors. I don't know if the taped handle is going to brake or when is going to brake. I read in the internet that this a problem of the Sorentos of several years. Some of the persons in the internet ask why kia is not making a recall. I have a daughter of 16 years and a son of almost 15 years. My son does not have many limitations, but he has a syndrome. I am including photos of the doors.

Driving across a 4 lane expressway, barely made it across, the vehicle sputters and comes to a stop after fighting with the power steering losing all control. Crankshaft pulley has damaged the engine so severe, that a new engine was put in at our expense ($5,000), gas tank was discovered to have a hole and leaking gas. Air bag light comes on and off just depends on it's mood, the display on the radio, etc. Goes away in cold weather, and now have a constant thump thump when driving as if the tire is flat. Driving for 5 months with new engine, I pressed on the accelerator quickly to pass a truck when a loud noise (sounding like the engine blew) from the engine was heard then something comes loose and hits the undercarriage so hard I can feel it through the floorboard. No smoke, no elevation in temperature. Pull over, there is now a vibration when idling but cannot see anything obvious missing. Whatever it was took chunks out of the right front tire. Brakes seemed to lock up at times and you could feel something like a pump losing air and the car slides just before the complete stop with a low groaning noise. Haven't took to the mechanic yet, but will be soon.

I bought a 2014 kia Sorento in Nov. 2013. 2months I started having issues with the door locks not working properly and the blue tooth. I took it to the dealer for service and told them about it after 3-4 trips and being told each time that there was nothing wrong they found that the radio system was bad. Still nothing wrong with the door locks not unlocking. Then a few weeks later I started having problems with it starting, again 3-4 trips of being told nothing was wrong they said you have a bad battery! I started getting a warning from the uvo system in November 2014 that I had a transmission issue took it to the dealer and even though a technician saw the warning on the screen and that the engine light was on they said the gas cap must have been on wrong causing the warning and the transmission to stall and be sluggish, along with causing the bluetooth not to respond, automatic door locks not to release,backup camera beeps when there is nothing behind me, the automatic window on the drivers side to not roll up. It was found that the transmission was going out and was repaired at the nicholasville store, however it has not taken care of the issues, the doors will not unlock and the uvo system continues to send emails to the dealer that there is an issue. I have also had to replace a head light bulb, brakes are rubbing. I have spoken with the kia corp analysts spencer with no results at this point. I have spoken with the general manager of the nicholasville ky dealer during our conversation he said to me to bring my car to the dealer they would be glad to check it. I ask if there was any way we could work something out so that they could come to me and get the car. I explained to him that I do not fill safe in the vehicle and that I am afraid for my kids safety, on 1/20/15 I was in an accident with it.

I came to a stop, suddenly the dash lights started flashing, and the car would not accelerate. I turned the key a couple of times but nothing happened, I turned off the radio and then turned on my emergency flashers. I then put the car in park and turned the key again. This time the car started and I drove it home. Two days later the Sorento was taken to the shop. Possible reason given on the workoder for the stalling/shutting down was that the gas tank had been overfilled. The technician also told my husband that this problem had been reported in other vehicles and should be solved by the brake switch recall, service bulletin 13v114000. He explained that the engine control system receives a signal from the brake switch for the starting process and, if the signal is not received, the vehicle will not start. Because of the faulty brake switch, he stated that it could interrupt the operation of the vehicle by sending an erroneous signal to the engine control system, activating the "no start" process. Even with the vehicle running, this would cause the engine to cut out. He further stated this recall replacement of the brake light signal switch should cure that problem. After running a complete diagnostic check on the vehicle, the service rep said there were no stored codes in the engine control memory indicating a fault. Since shutting the motor off due to an erroneous signal that the brake was not engaged is not a set fault code, this may not have been recorded. Also, the rep stated that if a fault had occurred, it may not have been in place long enough to record a fault code. Though he did give these answers verbally, they were not specifically indicated on the service invoice, and this connection was not listed on the recall notice for the brake light switch. Is this kias official position that the brake switch recall fixes the engine shutdown?.

Car would drop its speed to about 1 mile an hour , brought car to dealer, told needed software re-set, occured again in about July 2012, told again a software problem, but could not tell me why or that it would not happen again. Rear camera and entire radio-council goes out on occasion. Sun roof jam's and won't close. In shop to repair sun roof over one week.

I bought a 2004 kia Sorento in 2006 finished paying for it in 2010,over the years I have had to change the lights so many times I cant count,I have had topaint it twice,then the driving shaft broke,the compressor was changed twice, the cd player works on and off the air bags light came on and stayed for months on end the engine light does the same and most recently there is smoke coming from the engine, I am having to stop park and let it cool off before continuing on my journey, at the moment I got scared and I now I have my vehicle parked at home because I am scared to drive it, it is a shame and I am very upset. Is there anyone out there who is trying to do something about these problems us consumers are having? I own my vehicle and has a clean title and would like to trade in or sell but with all these problems how can I pass it on to someone else? I am asking someone from kia to do the responsible thing and give us some answers before someone loses their life,that is if it hasn't happened already. Don't let this be Toyota.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds a noise and a vibration was noticed. Upon further inspection, unusual wear on the inner tread of the front tires was also noticed. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who could not duplicate the problem. Updated 9/11/2006 - the left front strut was noisy due to loose bottom strut bolt. The dealer tightened end and secured bolt. The consumer felt vibration in brake pedal when reversing and making turns. The dealer resurfaced the brake rotors and pads. The vibration returned. The dealer indicated that the rotors were warped and replaced them. The vehicle's engine made noise. The dealer adjusted all the belts. The cd player would not eject properly.
