| 2008 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2008 KIA SORENTO REFUSED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WHILE I WAS DOING SO I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS OR BRAKE. INSTEAD IT WAS BRAKING ITSELF. THIS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I'M READY TO GET A NEW CAR! KIAS SUCK! *TR |
| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE | I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE CRANKSHAFT BOLTS BREAKING OFF IN THE KIA SORENTO'S. THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM, AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY 2003 OVER 45 MILES AN HOUR. MY SERVICE DEPT, DICK EDWARDS KIA, INFORMED ME TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE TORQUE ON THE BOLT EVERYTIME I GO IN FOR SERVICE. KIA SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND NOT HAVE ITS OWNERS SCARED TO DRIVE IT. *JB |
