I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT OTHER 2008 KIA SORRENTO OWNERS HAVE REPORTED TO KIA, ABOUT THE ESC LIGHT COMING ON CAUSING LOST OF POWER IN THE VEHICLE. KIA IS CONTENT TO CHARGE CUSTOMER A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, FIX PART THAT DO NOT NEED TO BE FIXED WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN YOU MENTION TO THEM THE COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEY INDICATE THE HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK ON SAFECAR.GOV, THEY CONTINUE TO BRUSH IT OFF. NOT SURE HOW BEING ON THE HWY DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND YOUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPING TO 20MPH IS A CUSTOMER PROBLEM. ALSO NOT SURE HOW WHEN YOU PLACE MY CAR ON THE MACHINE AND IT GIVES YOU A CODE TO FIX THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO COAST INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE TO KEEP FROM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WITH 2 CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT IS A CUSTOMER PROBLEM SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 KIA SORRENTO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD SEE THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NEEDLE WAS THE WRONG COLOR AND IT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE SPEED BEING TRAVELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180.
