NHTSA Complaint #11322463 — 2011 KIA SORENTO

ON 6/5/17 I WAS DRIVING FROM MCCALL TO BOISE IDAHO WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 90 MILES. I PARKED THE CAR AT WALMART AND WENT OUT TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START AT FIRST THEN WHEN IT WOULD RESTARTED IT WOULD DIE QUICKLY APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES. I DROVE IT TO THE BOISE DENNIS DILLON KIA DEALERSHIP AND ON THE WAY IT STALLED, DID CHUGGING SOUND AT A STOP SIGN IN TOWN AND JERKED FORWARD AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THERE. THE CAR HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN PROBABLY ONCE A WEEK. MY BROTHER WHO IS A MECHANIC HELPED ME TO GET PARTS FOR IT AT O"REILLY AUTO PARTS AND HELPED ME REPLACE THE VALVE COVER GASKET, SPARK PLUGS, PLUG TUBE SEALS, HEADLIGHT BULB, AND AIR FILTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP. LATER I ENDED UP BUYING A NEW OIL FILER CAP TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP BUT NOTHING EVER SEEMED TO.
