Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2011 KIA SORENTO AND CHECKED TO SEE IF ANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE MOTOR. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ON THE MOTORS. BUT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MOTOR SMOKING AND LOSING POWER. I FEEL LIKE KIA SHOULD REPLACE THOSE MOTORS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, BECAUSE LOSE OF POWER! I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. I COULD PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER. THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T FAR FROM MY HOME! IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. SO I HAD TO LIMP IT HOME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD SITUATION HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY! I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO THEIR KIA SERENTO. KIA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE MOTORS!
