NHTSA Complaint #11163635 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ROAD WHILE RUNNING TWICE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS WHAT SO EVER. BOTH TIME THE CAR TURNED OFF AND UPON INSPECTION IT HAD NO OIL DESPITE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. FIRST TIME THE CAR TURNED OFF, I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO SLUDGE/DEBRIS IN ENGINE THAT CAUSED A GAS SENSOR FAILURE (DESPITE REGULAR MAINTENANCE). RECOMMENDATION WAS TO CHANGE THE OIL VERY OFTEN TO CLEAR ANY POTENTIAL REMAINING SLUDGE SO WE HAVE BEEN CHANGING OIL EVERY 2K. DESPITE OF THIS, CAR TURNED OFF AGAIN (AGAIN NO WARNING LIGHTS) ON THE HIGHWAY RAMP ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS TIME THE ENGINE HAS NOW APPARENTLY CEASED. THIS SET OF ISSUES ARE DESCRIBED BY 100S OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND MIRROR THE ISSUES FOUND IN THE FWD 2013 ENGINES, SO IT IS PUZZLING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS CAR'S ENGINE.
