general problems of the 2011 Kia Motor Sportage - part 2

As time wait on engine deteriorated the car would stop and not move , even while driving. Break lights go out every 3 months got a ticket because of it. Then radio burnt out , after those issue . I got the car brand new , all ways got oil changes as well as the tune ups. Took issue to kia and they kept saying everything was fine . After they worked on issues the bill was over 1000 . After all the work done there is still problems with the car. See on credit karma my car has 5 recalls . I need a letter stating the recalls on my vehicle, because kia has not helped with the problems on the car and I can't afford getting more work done on the car. After showing them this app they still won't work on it with out a letter. Really need help thanks you.

Randomly loses throttle control. Has happened on a freeway, on surface streets and at stop signs. Throttle goes immediately into idle rpm (approximately 800-1000 rpm). Loss of acceleration ability when maneuvering in traffic. Almost collided with other vehicles. Kia dealership looked for fault codes in computer but could not find any. Numerous entries on internet about this. Active fault codes go inactive after 3 successful restarts. Dealer not allowed to look at inactive codes. Has happened several times over 2-3 years. Kia factory service is aware of this. Their case # is 2524267.

Pierde fuerza y le suena mucho el motor.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 kia Sportage. The contact stated that while driving at 5 mph, the engine completely shut off and the brake lights illuminated. The engine restarted after pushing the button without engaging the brakes. The failure recurred on multiple occasions and the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate mileage was 42,000. Pam.

Second catastrophic failure of 2. 0 liter turbocharged engine in less than 30,000 miles service.

When I placed the vehicle in reverse, it felt like the car lunged stopped and lunged again. The car did not move, because the brakes were still engaged. The review camera did not turn on. I backed out and pulled back into my spot, put the car in park, put it into reverse again, and the lunging occurred again. I checked the reverse lights, and they were not on. I proceeded to drive to my destination. While driving at 40 mph, I attempted to accelerate, the car revved to a high rpm, and then engaged the transmission causing the tires to chirp. I attempted several times to accelerate to proper speeds, and the high rev prior to engaging the transmission occurred every time. I noticed the gear indicator on the odometer display was missing. When I got to my destination, I turned off the vehicle. Then I turned it back on, and the vehicle was operating normally. Camera, reverse lights, and gear indicator was working. I started driving and attempted a passing acceleration, with no issues. I did not take it to the dealer, because the vehicle is not having the problem at this time.

Push button start would not engage - car was in park- after getting shifter to move - car started - took it to dealer replaced brake light switch - I see where uk has recalled 25k vehicles for this same problem including Sportage NHTSA should also issue a recall on this module while waiting another consumer reported same problem but had a recall on theirs.

I began having issues with my 2011 kia Sportage not starting. At first I thought I didn't push the brake and push correctly. But this became more and more frequent as time went on. In April 2012, it didn't start 3 times in one day. I took it in to the dealer the next day and that morning it started for them to move it into their garage and it didn't start again for three weeks. The dealership nor tech support had any idea of what the problem was, so their next step was to begin replacing parts, first the fuse box under the dash, them several different computer parts. They ended replacing 5 different parts in the car before they got it started. When I asked what caused the problem, they said they didn't know and would be turning all the "replaced" parts over to the technical support dept to investigate the parts. I asked if they would let me know what the problem was when the tech folks completed their investigation. The service mgr told me that they would not ever be notified by kia tech about what caused the problem. I asked why, they said that kia just never tells them. So if the problem happens again, they have no way of identifying the issue for me or any other customer. I have no faith in Kia Motors nor their dealerships.

Engine light is on and no power when you apply gas pedal. Dealer pulled codes for ob2 and found p2562 turbo boot control/position sensor. Rest both adpat values. After resting and rebooting ecm drivers windows would not go up. Asked dealer if car was safe to driver. Dealer stated yes and said the only problem was the window. After pulling out on to a major busy 6 lane highway I discover I had no turns signals. Pulled car off the road and checked to is what other lights where not working. I discovered I had no day time running lights, headlights, fog lights and power door locks did not work. Dealer states bad bcm and replaced it.
