FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2006 KIA SORENTO COMPLAINT: ENGINE , STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , EXTERIOR LIGHTING ,THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR I AM CHANGING THE HEAD LIGHTS EVERY 4-5 MONTH AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING. AND JUST LAST WEEK 2/2/2014 THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND ALSO NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SIDE ROAD AND BARELY GOT THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED AND HAD TO REPLACE A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND A MASS AIR FLOW METER AND AIR FILTER AND THE HARMONIC BALANCER. THIS IS CRAZY THESE PROBLEMS AND REQUIRES EXTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO THE ENGINE. THIS INDICATES TO US A MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN FLAW AND PROBABLE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY KIA WORLDWIDE. IT'S DISTURBING WITH HOW MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I'M READING ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING! IS THERE ANY HELP OUT THERE THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ALL THESE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,100. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I JUST GOT MY KIA A YEAR AGO AND I LOVE IT BUT WE ARE CHANGING THE HEAD LIGHTS EVERY MONTH AND I NEVER GET THE RECALLS IN THE MAIL FOR ANYTHING SO I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. BUYING LIGHTS EVERY MONTH ADD UP TO A LOT OF MONEY AFTER AWHILE. AND IF I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND BOTH WENT OUT AT NIGHT SOMEONE COULD GET HURT. *TR

DRIVING IN WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS, HAD VEHICLE IN CRUISE CONTROL ON INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, NOT 45 MPH, CARS AHEAD WERE BRAKING DUE TO GUSTY WINDS AND DECREASED VISIBILITY (BLOWING SNOW). PROCEEDED TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE, BRAKES DID NOT WORK AS THEY NORMALLY DUE AND VEHICLE HIT A SIDE RAIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE MOMENTARILY. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO MOMENTARILY GET BACK ONTO INTERSTATE ROAD BEFORE GOING INTO A DITCH ON OTHER SIDE-OPPOSITE OF GUARD RAIL, OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST PURCHASED/FINANCE 12/7/2013 AND IS NOW CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO DAMAGES THE VEHICLE SUFFERS. *TR

ENGINE
WIFE WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND SHE HAD NO POWER STEERING AND ALSO NO BRAKES. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SIDE ROAD AND BARELY GOT THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. IF IT WOULD HAVE BROKE ANOTHER 200 FEET AHEAD SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS LUCKY SINCE THERE IS A VERY SHARP AND DANGEROUS CURVE. THE CURVE HAS A SINGLE GUARD RAIL THAT SHE MORE IN LIKELY WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH RESULTING IN A 400 FOOT DROP DOWN A STEEP HILL. POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FATAL CRASH.THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COUGHLIN KIA DEALERSHIP IN NEWARK OHIO. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT BOLT HAD BROKE IN THE MOTOR. THIS CAUSED THE TIMING PULLING AND MAIN PULLEY TO BREAK OFF. THE RESULT WAS MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE.THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED HIS KIA REGIONAL REP.AND WAS INFORMED THE DAMAGE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 10 YR./100000 MILE WARRANTY. WE DID HAVE THE SAME DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN 2YRS. EARLIER AT APPR. 57000 MILES AS KIA REQUIRES THIS MAINTENANCE DONE BEFORE 60000 MILES.THEY ALSO REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT BOLT AS KIA RECOMMENDS IT ALSO. THIS WAS A COST OF NEARLY $800 FOR THIS SERVICE. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT IS $4000 ON A VEHICLE VALUED AT $6000. KIA REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE ON THESE MOTORS. THEIR WAS ARECALL ON THE 03 & 04 ENGINES BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED DRIVING THESE VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES OF ME CHANGING BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS. NOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT AT THE SAME TIME ALONG WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. THE LIGHTS ARE NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS OLD. IT REALLY IS SCARY TO KNOW THAT MY LIGHTS CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME. (WHICH HAS HAPPENED, THANKFULLY NOT WHEN IT WAS COMPLETELY DARK) AND TODAY, I ALMOST GOT INTO A WRECK BECAUSE I WASN'T AWARE THAT MY 2 WEEK OLD TAIL LIGHTS ARE OUT. MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND MY DOME LIGHT FLICKERS AND I HAVE TO HIT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MAKE AND YEAR. KIA REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES FROM MY KIA SORENTO. THE HATCHBACK HAS A HANDLE IN ORDER TO PULL DOWN THE HATCHBACK. IN THIS INSTANCE, I PULLED IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND IT FELT LIKE IT HAD BEEN JERKED OUT OF MY HAND AND FELL ON MY HAND. I HAVE SOME DEEP CUTS AND POSSIBLY A BREAK IN MY HAND. IT FELT AS IF THE HATCH ONCE I LET GO CONTINUED AS IF IT WAS PULLED DOWN.

DURING A TURN IN A MALL PARKING LOT THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE, IT TURNED OUT TO BE A RUSTED THROUGH LOWER CONTROL ARM FOR THE LEFT WHEEL. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS, AND BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE, WHERE ROAD SALT IS A CONCERN, THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT KIA ADDRESSES. *TR

ENGINE
WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE.THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN-QUITS AT ANY SPEED (EVEN IDLE) LAST TIME AT 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER W/O BEING REAR ENDED. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THEN I GOT IT STARTED AND RAN ROUGH A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN CLEARED UP THE REST OF THE WAY. ANOTHER OCCASION THE ENGINE QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IN 5:00 TRAFFIC, CAUSING BAD CONJESTION. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS TRIGGERED OCCASIONALLY BUT NO REPAIR CODES ARE SEEN WHEN THE COMPUTER IS HOOKED UP. THIS IS HAPPENING ABOUT EVERY 3 -4 DAYS AND MAYBE 2 X'S IN A DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE THE DEALER CHANGED THE TIMING BELT-REGULAR MAINTENENCE ABOUT 80,0000 MI. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND SOUNDING JUST GREAT BEFORE THE KIA DEALER DID THIS. ON THE WAY HOME, THE VEHICLE WENT DEAD AND HAD NO POWER. GOT THE DEALER TO TAKE IT BACK. THINGS WERE NOT PLUGGED IN--ALTERNATOR ETC. THE MECHANIC WAS IN A HURRY TO LEAVE FOR THE WEEKEND. NOW LEFT LIFTER BANK CLATTERS UPON STARTUP A CODE WAS GIVEN THAT THE DEALER DID NOT CLEAR THE COMPUTER WHEN THE BELT WAS CHANGED. WE CLEARED IT AND THE ENGINE STILL QUITS. THE DEALER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS (GO FIGURE). ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONING QUIT DUE TO A LINE THAT WAS SPLIT POSSIBLY WHEN THE MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON THE TIMING BELT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT (ACCIDENT) IF THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THIS.NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD THUD AND MY BATTERY LIGHT & E BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCER HAD FALLEN OFF DUE TO THE CRANKSHAFT BOLT SHEARING OFF. ONCE IT WAS FIXED BY AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, APPROXIMATELY 8000 MILES LATER I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS. I TOOK IT BACK TO A SERVICE GARAGE AND AFTER REPLACING THE HARMONIC BALANCER AND CRANKBOLT AGAIN THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CRANKSHAFT WAS BENT. THE GARAGE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE ENTIRE CRANKSHAFT AND BALANCER AND THEN HAVING THE ENGINE REBALANCED OR A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT BOTH OF WHICH ARE GREATER THAN $3500 TO REPAIR ON A VEHICLE THAT'S WORTH ABOUT $5500..IT'S BEEN APPROXIMATELY $2000 THAT I'VE ALREADY SPENT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. IT'S AT A LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP NOW, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S NOT FIXABLE AND THEY CAN ONLY RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST $6,700 FOR A USED ENGINE WITH 71,000 MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS THAT THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENS ON THESE MOTORS BETWEEN 60K AND 90K MILES THEN FROM DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT SEEMS AFTER REPAIRS ARE DONE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 6K-10K MILES LATER. AFTER LOOKING INTO IT, IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS AND FAULTY PARTS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO BE OUT OF A VEHICLE SINCE MID NOVEMBER OF 2012. IT'S DISTURBING WITH HOW MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I'M READING ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING! *TR

FROM 9/2011 TO 7/2013 MY 2006 KIA HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. WHILE DRIVING I HEAR A WEIRD NOISE AND THEN ALL THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. WHEN CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD, THE BELTS HAVE ALL FALLEN OFF, A PULLEY IS LAYING UNDER ENGINE AS IS A BOLT. THE LAST TIME THE BOLT HAD BROKEN OFF CAUSING THE PULLEY TO FALL OFF. MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET WAS BROKEN. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT TODAY AS THE CAR IS AT THE SHOP WITH THE BOLT LAYING UNDER THE ENGINE, BUT THE DRIVE PIN THAT GOES INTO THE SPROCKET OF THE PULLEY FELL OUT THE BOTTOM WHEN BEING LIFTED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC, HEARD A LOUD CLUNKY NOISE, LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES IMMEDIATELY ALONG WITH BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHTS APPEARING ON DASH. VEHICLE TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT "CRANK BOLT BROKEN OFF THE CRANKSHAFT, REMOVED CRANK BOLT WITH EASY OUT, REPLACED DAMAGED CRANK SPROCKET, DAMPER PULLEY, AND CRANK BOLT." NOW TEN (10) MONTHS LATER AND 7000 MILES (APPROXIMATELY) WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL. AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR RESOLUTION FROM DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND SERVICED. IT IS CURRENTLY THERE WAITING REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. SEEMS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS NOT FIXED BY SIMPLY REPAIRING OR REPLACING THE CRANK BOLT AS IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH MY VEHICLE, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A STRESSOR ELSEWHERE! MORE THAN LIKELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK SOMEWHERE. *TR

ENGINE
MY 22 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT COLLEGE WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING AND THEN SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT ON A CURVY ROAD WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED AND AFTER MECHANIC'S INSPECTION WERE TOLD THAT THE CRANKSHAFT BOLT "WOBBLED" LOOSE AND DISRUPTED THE TIMING BELT ASSEMBLY SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE. THIS $2 BOLT HAS CAUSED AN ESTIMATED $3500 REPAIR BILL OR EVEN AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. OUR RESEARCH HAS UNCOVERED TO US THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS 3.5L ENGINE. THIS BOLT EITHER BREAKS OR WOBBLES OUT OF IT'S THREADING TO CAUSE TIMING BELT PROBLEMS AND REQUIRES EXTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO THE ENGINE. THIS INDICATES TO US A MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN FLAW AND PROBABLE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY KIA WORLDWIDE. *TR
