I am submitting a formal written complaint to supplement my existing NHTSA Safety Report ID 11702339 regarding a serious fuel system defect on my 2013 Kia Sorento. My car began experiencing sluggish starting, sputtering during acceleration, stalling at stop signs and traffic lights, and a strong fuel odor. A check engine light subsequently illuminated, and due to safety concerns, the vehicle was towed to a Kia dealership for diagnosis. The dealership confirmed and documented fuel leakage from the high-pressure fuel pressure regulator and fuel contamination in the engine oil. This defect presents a serious safety risks: increased risk of engine fire due to fuel leakage, unexpected loss of power while stopped or in traffic, and increased likelihood of a collision due to engine stalling. This vehicle previously had its engine replaced under a Kia recall in 2020, making this failure particularly concerning. Fuel system failures and post-recall engine-related defects have...

I am reporting a safety defect on my 2013 Kia Sorento (VIN: [XXX] ). Before the failure, the vehicle began experiencing sluggish starting, sputtering during acceleration, stalling when stopped at traffic lights or stop signs, a noticeable fuel odor, and eventually a check engine light. These symptoms increased over several days, and once the check engine light illuminated, we had the vehicle towed to a Kia dealership for diagnosis. At the dealership, the problem was confirmed and reproduced by their technicians. They diagnosed: •Fuel leakage from the high-pressure fuel pressure regulator •Fuel contamination in the engine oil These components and diagnostic findings are available for inspection upon request. This issue poses a significant safety risk. Fuel leakage and fuel-in-oil contamination increase the potential for an engine fire, and the hesitation, sputtering, and stalling at intersections present a risk of unexpected loss of power in traffic, which could result in a...

This vehicle has a oil consumption problem that causes engine damage and Kia will not take responsibility for especially after the car being maintained. On top of it even with substantial evidence that this was a manufacturing defect that Kia is refusing to take accountability for and completely dismisses any claims or complaints and not even bothered to speak with you unless the car has warranty which is absurd because this was a again a manufacturing defect of the vehicle not from not sustaining the vehicle from the driver that owns it. It also did not give off any warning signs or any indication that there was a problem until the problem completely left me without a car. Without a warning or indication this was a hazard and luckily I did not have my children in the car when the oil brought broke and pierced an immense hole causing my...

my vehicle falls under the 2013 Kia Sorrento engine replacement and fuel pump. Recall these have not been done to my vehicle. I even double checked with the previous owner and Kia did not service the engine or replace it although it has a recall under mine, and all the symptoms stated in the recall with the engine and fuel pump are happening with my vehicle now how do I get this service covered under the recall also a very strong fuel odor

Kia failed to take accountability for rods related to oil pan and engine damage defect on this vehicle. Did not offer other safety options and did not give any warning signs. I have ALL my receipts and maintenance on vehicle that I DID Maintain my vehicle responsible and this was a Kia vehicle safety issue on manufacturing. I did not receive any warning or lights on my dashboard and I have all my oil change receipts. Please see all attached documents for my complaint. All Kia customer service was concerned with was warranty when this is a manufacturing product defect of this car not being put together properly and my vehicle has been serviced over years at a Kia dealership and no one has ever told me my vehicle was not maintained. Kia corporation won't even investigate or even move forward in any direction even with all my receipts reports...

Since I purchased my 2013 KIA SORENTO I have had at least 3 recalls. My vehicle AIR BAG LIGHT is still ON. I have been waiting since last year (2023)to get this recall item repaired and the local dealership has informed me that the part is on ORDER but never received( I have the work order from dealership stating that).. My Anti- thief system won't allow my vehicle to start upon demand I have to wait and turn the key over and let panel lights come on before it starts I have to do this 3x always. I've tried different approach's to rectify this issue, still dealing with it today( March 1, 2024). My speed control sensors had too be replaced. ABS lights would come on and stay illuminated. A lot is going on with my KIA SORENTO. I really enjoy my vehicle until all these recalls started. Now, I'm...

I drove with my family south bound on i95 and between exit 6-5 the engine light came on out of no where and the gas peddle and brake stopped working. My luck was that I was on the right lane and I pulled over to shoulder of the highway till the car stopped. after 5-10 min I turned the car on and I was able to crawl to exit 5 ramp driving barely 10-15mph. The engine was making knocking sounds and then it just died in the middle of the exit, where I had to push the car in neutral through the ez-pass booth. We waited for an hour and got a tow truck to tow us to the nearest shop, where the mechanic told me that the engine is done and I need a new engine. I told him when it comes to engine, only an authorized kia dealer...

I have experienced multiple electrical failures, engine stalling & fuel pump issues. One after another. I had the fuel pump sensor replaced ($900 just for one part) a few months ago. I have wires randomly corroding - headlight connector. As of 2 days ago my ignition switch and starter solenoid intermittenly fails to send voltage to the starter. Won’t know if the starter motor will need replaced until it’s tested and proven it wasn’t the culprit for the failure of the other two. I have replaced 2 spark plugs. They have still been read to misfire. Random electrical things stopped working like my heated seats and a few steering wheel buttons. (I’d like to note the battery was just replaced last month) All of these problems seem to be linked with several recalls. All problems have all occurred over the last 6 months. There is an abundance of evidence pointing...

Almost got into crash on highway with a truck going on right lane as Kia did not pick up speed while going on speeding lane and lanes getting merged due to construction. Having trouble changing the gears - Engine keep creating lot of noise even during the 1st gear. Can feel jerks while gears being changed and sometimes feel burning smell. 2 Recalls were done in 2021 on this vehicle related to Engine and transmission. Kia dealer at Abilene (325-267-7409 - James) not willing to check anything at all - also not going to fix the latest recall. Saying it might take couple of months to fix. Afraid of even driving this Kia Sorento due to fire risk and kept car outside in the frontyard. Spent thousands on rental cars and Uber as it is primary and only car for our whole family.

Car caught fire in the engine compartment.

Upon searching for recalls it seems as though I’m experiencing a significant issue with the fuel/propulsion system. Engine sputters frequently and has turned off while driving multiple times at different speeds (including most recently at a stoplight) , and will not turn on after driving on several occasions. Vehicle will only start again when put in neutral after a couple attempts, followed by the check engine light illuminating and the RPM gauge not functioning until the next time it is turned off and restarted. The vehicle shows no signs of the issue until out of nowhere it turns off or will not restart after being driven. The vehicle is not driven more than 20 miles at a time, and is currently not taken on highways due to fear of the engine going out while driving. 60 mph is the most this vehicle has hit in the past 6 months because...

Vehicle caught on fire, beginning in the engine compartment. No warning indications showed on the instrument panel. Driver and two children were able to exit the vehicle and notify the fire department. The fire investigator believes the fire started in proximity of the alternator. The engine has been replaced under warranty by Kia twice.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 KIA SORENTO IN MARCH 2013...I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP MAINTENANCE. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES ( EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS/TAILLIGHTS GOING OUT CONSTANTLY AND HAVING TO REPLACE, CAR STALLING/STOPPING IN TRAFFIC, ABS//TRACTION CONTROL & DOWNHILL ASSIT LIGHTS COMING ON, AIR CONDITIONER, FUEL SYSTEM). I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE UNDER NHTSA, AND IT APPEARS THAT I AM HAVING MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHERS. MY VEHICLE IS NEARING 100,000 MILES (98,800), AND I HOPE THAT ALL THESE ISSUES I AND OTHERS HAVE HAD CAN BE RESOLVED BY KIA. I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED TWO RECALLS ON MY VIN #- ONE BEING THE HEADLAMP LOW BEAM CONNECTOR WIRING HARNESS DATED 4-22-2019. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS?? THE OTHER ONE WAS DATED AUGUST 14, 2019 REGARDING AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY EXTENDING WARRANTY COVERAGE TO 15 YEARS/UNLIMITED MILEAGE. THANKS FOR CHECKING INTO MY PROBLEMS.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN-TOWN, THE VEHICLE LUNGES BACK AND DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING. THEN AT A LIGHT, THIS VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND DIES AT THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR ALSO KNOCKS VERY LOUD AT FIRST STARTUP. I SEE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT SEEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE. MY DISABLED DAUGHTER RIDES IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WE COULD HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW AND THE LATEST WAS TODAY.

THIS CAR HAS AT LEAST 8 RECALLS ON IT NOW, NOT INCLUDING PAST RECALLS. THIS VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON ME WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY. THE REASON OT STOPPED WAS DUE TO A MALFUCTIONED ENGINE THAT WAS ON RECALL. MY TURNING SIGNALS LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING , THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS ALSO DUE TO LIGHT WIRING THATS ON RECALL. KIA HAD ME TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE MALFUNCTIONING ENGINE FIXED. THE CAR IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND HAS LIST IT SPEED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL LIKE IT WILL CUT OFF ON ME AT ANY GIVING TIME. I JUST GOT ANOTHER RECALL LETER THAT STATES THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART THEY PUT ON MY ENGINE. I AM A WORKING MOM WITH KIDS...

MY 2013 KIA SORENTO HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY DECREASING POWER WHILE DRIVING. RPMS WOULD DROP TO 0. IN SOME CASES THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO REMAIN AT THE CURRENT SPEED, BUT WITH THE RPM AT 0. IN OTHER CASES, THE VEHICLE WOULD RAPIDLY DECELERATE AND STALL OUT FORCING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 20-30 TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND HAS OCCURRED WHILE IN TRAFFIC, PUTTING MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER AT GREAT RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT. THERE WERE 2 TIMES IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IN SOME OF THESE CASES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS TURNED ON BUT NOT IN ALL INSTANCES. IT IS BEGINNING TO BECOME A MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCE AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AT A TIME THERE IS A VEHICLE TOO CLOSE TO ME OR I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO...

ENGINE WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL IN OCT 2017. EVER SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON FOR EVAP LEAKS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY EITHER SAY THEY FOUND A LEAK AND FIXED IT OR TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND A LEAK. LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON WITHIN A FEW DAYS TO A FEW WEEKS. NEW ENGINE ONLY HAD 12MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY ON IT EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER MILEAGE FOR INITIAL WARRANTY (AT 80,000 NOW) THEY CLAIM MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE NEW RECALL AND IS NOT A FIRE RISK. HAVE SMELLED FUEL ONCE. LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON, DEALER AND KIA HAVE BEEN NO HELP AND SINCE NEW WARRANTY IS UP THEY HAVE STARTED WANTING ME TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIRS.

TAKATA RECALL, 2014 KIA SORENTO LISTS POWER WHEN I ACCELLERATE. SORENTO IS VERY SLUGGISH WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT SEEMS TO JERK AND LOSE POWER. THIS SLUGGISH FEELING HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY, EVEN IF I HAVE A TUNE UP COMPLETED AND ALL NEW FILTERS. I HAVE ALSO TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GASOLINE TO TRY AND HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. I AM VERY CONCERNED ALSO ABOUT THE MOUNT OF HEAT THE ENGINE GIVES OFF. THE HEAT COMING FROM THE ENGINE IS SO HOT YOU CAN BARELY STAND BY THE CAR.

CAR STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS, REFUSES TO GO OVER 60 MPG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. LOSE POWER AT SPEED (ON FREEWAY) AND TACHOMETER GOES TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND IS GETTING TO BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO DEALER WHO CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT I HAVE TWO TEENAGE DAUGHTERS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THEM DRIVING IT. TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE VEHICLE HAD A BRAKING RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. MY DAUGHTER ONCE HAD TO HUSSLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO TURN THE CAR ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET IT. MANY TIMES IT STALLS WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS.
