Consumer Description
I'VE ONLY HAD MY 2014 KIA SORENTO FOR A YEAR, FROM 2020-2021. I'VE NOTICED THESE PROBLEMS IN THE BEGINNING AND ASSUMED THEY WOULD WORK ITSELF OUT BECAUSE THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE CONDITIONS WERE MINOR BUT THEY ONLY PROGRESSED. I'M PUTTING OIL IN THIS VEHICLE EVERY THREE TO FOUR DAYS BECAUSE THE OIL STICK IS CLEAN ( INDICATING NO OIL). THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE MECHANIC THAT WORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME BACK AND WHENEVER IT STARTED TO BLINK IT WOULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO JERK EXCESSIVELY AND FORCEFULLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MAIN HIGHWAYS EACH TIME CAUSING THE SPEED TO DECREASE . SAME THING WITH THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ON AND I WAS TOLD TO IGNORE IT. AND THE DRIVER SEAT DOES NOT MOVE, I WAS TOLD A SIMPLE SMALL GREEN FUSE (30) WOULD FIX THAT AND I PURCHASED SEVERAL AND EACH TIME THE MECHANIC WOULD INSERT ONE OF THE FUSES, YOU COULD HEAR A POP. I WAS TOLD NOT TO TOUCH IT OR IT COULD START A FIRE (THE FUSE BOX AREA). AS OF TODAY (APRIL 20, 2021) MY 2014 KIA SORENTO STILL HAVE THESE DANGEROUS ISSUES. VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT UNDER THE HOOD.
