general problems of the 2017 Kia Motor Sportage

I took my car to the kia dealer because I burn I was smelling burn oil. They told me that it wasn’t burn oil. It was the rubber burning I replace the inner and I’m still smelling the oil burning. I’m putting in oil four times a week, and they still not tell me why I’m putting so much oil then I want to say because I do too much highway mileage that’s why I probably burn it so much oil, but that should be impossible.

While driving on the highway, vehicle lost all electrical power. The engine stayed running, but I lost use of anything electrical including the power steering, headlights, and dashboard functions. Vehicle power resumed after about a minute and we made it home, but the vehicle would not start after this. After calling our kia dealership they advised taking the vehicle in immediately via tow. After looking through the vehicle, it was found that a fuse inside of the battery harness had melted. This caused the battery cable to heat up to ~200 degrees. The cause is still unclear, but we worry about this happening in the future. We are still waiting for the cable to be replaced at this time.

Dead short in a wiring harness to the steering column where it goes up and down and back and forth to the positive wiring harness in there. That kia dealer cannot figure out. Add another mechanic figure it out. Got pictures also a bad oil pressure switch that shot oil all over the motor.

This happened twice in 10 days. Once while driving and once in parking mode with vehicle on - suddenly the vehicle loses power, cannot accelerate, power steering is lost, and 3 panel lights turn on simultaneously: battery, oil, check engine. Both times by turning off and restarting engine I have been able to continue driving, power is restored and panel lights turn off. Have taken both times to kia service southside/jacksonville FL and they have not been able to identify the cause, therefore unable to fix a potentially very dangerous and life-threatening situation if this continues to happen, especially while driving. Extremely concerned!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2017 kia Sportage. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph making a right turn the steering wheel locked up and the vehicle went left. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer kia of duluth located at 1701 w michigan st, duluth, mn 55806 (866) 722-4542 where there were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and referred contact to the local dealer and NHTSA. The failure mileage was 16,000. Ap.

The car slightly veered to the left, at first. I brought it up to the sales person during the drive. There was also a slight burning smell when I drove the car home in the evening from the dealer. I brought it back the next day to have it checked out, and the service manager said that he could not find anything. One of the sales' people stated that some new cars have smells in the beginning and to run the air through the car.

While driving , especially on the highway, the vehicle veers slightly to left or right and takes constant corrections to keep it driving straight. The steering requires constant over corrections and the steering also feels very loose. It feels like driving on ice. I brought it to the dealer and the alignment and other factors have been checked and they say there is nothing per say wrong with the car.
