NHTSA Complaint #11021221 — 2011 KIA SORENTO

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON, USUALLY FOUR AT A TIME AS I'M DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN IT'S RAINING. I HAD THE KIA DEALER IN LAS CRUCES, NM TRY TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WHEN I HAD THE CAR IN FOR A COUPLE RECALLS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO I HAD A SHOP WITH A AAA MASTER MECHANIC TRY TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO COULD NOT DETERMINE THE REASON THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE COMING ON. THEY COULD NOT FIND A SHORT IN THE WIRING THAT I THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE CAUSE. THE LIGHTS EVENTUALLY GO OFF, USUALLY AFTER THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL HOURS OR OVERNIGHT. I'M CONCERNED THAT, ALTHOUGH I'VE NOT EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WHEN THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, COULD A POSSIBLE REAL SAFETY ISSUE OCCUR IF ONE OF THE SYSTEMS INDICATED BY THE LIGHTS ACTUALLY MALFUNCTION? FOR A WHILE WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR'S STEERING SEEMED TO BE EFFECTED--ON WINDY CURVY ROADS THE CAR WOULD DEFINITELY OVER STEER ON CURVES, AS THOUGH SOMEONE ELSE WERE IN CONTROL. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU MIGHT HAVE ON SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HOW THEY WERE CORRECTED. THANK YOU.
