Consumer Description
I HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF CAR DUE TO KEYFOB NOT WORKING. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE OOENING THE HATCH AND SUNROOF. PRESET COMFORT SETTINGS IE SEAT, MIRROR, DOOR AND WINDOW LOCKS HAVE REVERTED TO ONES PREVIOUS TO WHAT I PUT IN FOR MYSELF. THE GPS KEPT GETTING STUCK ON THE DEALERDSHIP ADDRESS. I HAD STARTING ISSUES. NOW I OFTEN HAVE STOPPING (TURNING OFF EVERYTHING) ISSUES SO THEN HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF TO FINALLY GET THE ELECTRICAL THINGS (LIGHTS, RADIO) TO TURN OFF. ITS SCARY. I ALSO HAVE THE WORST GAS MILEAGE. I STARTED IFF AT 12 MILES. AFTER SERVICING, IT WENT DOWN TO 8MI PER GALLON. IF IT GETS TO 14MI AND I GET THE CAR SERVICED, IT IMMEDIATELY DROPS BACK DOWN. THERE ARE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THESE SORENTOS. THIS IS A 2014 AND I JUST GOT A RECALL. THE RECALL WORK WSS DONE AND I EXPERIENCED THE WHOKE ELECTRICAL CRAZINESS AGAIN WITH THE TRUNCK, LIGHTS, AND CLOCK. EVENTUALLY ALL THE LIGHTS EXCEPT ONE CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SWEARS IT IS JUST A COINCIDENCE. THEY AKSO HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THE CLOCK BEING 2 HOURS BEHIND EHEN THD CAR WAS RETURNED. THEY SSID THAT CHECKING THE HECU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIGHTS, OR THE CLOCK. I SUSPECT NO RECALLS ON THE EKECTRICAL SYSTEM OR POOR MILEAGE WILL COME OUT UNTIL THE CAR IS 10 YEARX OLD. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY MOST OF THE TIME. I DO NOT DRIVE THAT MUCH
