SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
DT: THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE CALIPER WAS MISSING AND BRAKES WERE GONE. ALSO, THEY SAID THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS MISSING ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NINE MONTHS AGO FROM THE KIA DEALER, AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS MISSING. THE CONSUMER STARTED NOTICING THIS ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER SOON AS THE CONSUMER NOTICED THIS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I LEASED MY KIA SORENTO 2012 LX V6 AWD NEW, AFTER ABOUT 5 OR 6 MONTHS I NOTICED WHEN BREAKING TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR THE ENGINE SOMETIMES STALLS COMPLETELY, ONCE I SHIFT BACK IN N I CAN RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENS COMPLETELY RANDOMLY, THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PRECEDING THIS INCIDENT, IT HAPPENS ON ITS OWN, ONCE ACTUALLY IT HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY MANY TIMES, THEY EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO CALLING A KIA FIELD TECH TO COME INSPECT THE CAR, LASTLY THEY INSTALLED AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WHICH WAS APPARENTLY RECORDING ANYTHING HAPPENING TO YOUR ENGINE, AND SURE ENOUGH ABOUT A WEEK AFTER INSTALLATION I HAD THE SAME ISSUE, I PRESSED THE BUTTON BUT UPON RETURNING TO KIA DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE DEVICE HAD NOT RECORDED ANYTHING, APPARENTLY NO CODES ARE GENERATED WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS THIS WAY. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS CAN BE RESOLVED SINCE NO ONE KNOWS HOW EXACTLY THIS OCCURS AND THE ISSUE CANNOT EVEN BE REPLICATED. *TR
