My 2012 Kia Sorento, purchased at Roper Kia, Joplin Mo. Has a dangerous steering issue. Steering so tight,even the slightest move of the wheel causes the car to go into a zig-zag motion. This not only puts fear into the driver, but causes cars around you to react in same, putting themselves, cars around them as well as me in danger. I also reported a lunge/surge in the transmission after all the gears have engaged. Without warning either a surge in power or a drop in power occurs.This happens after the shift to the driving gear as well as after a down ***".
The final issue, is a loud knocking/clacking noise in the motor/. Service Dept?.put car on computer and told me it was perfect??? I looked at many small cross/overs before purchasing this car:. I felt very happy with my choice:. After reading all the negative reviews, many with the same complaints I have made,I am very unhappy with my purchase, and the large amount of money I have spent!. All of the dissatisfied KIA owners on these pages should get together and post a public notice, then we should all file a class action suit?. We have a right to a quality product,a credible warranty, and good service,. This company boast "Best warranty, quality, mileage, service and safty record.. They need to stand behind their promise.

| 3. Written by Lauri Allen on March 9, 2012 from los angeles, california, US I am having a major problem with accelerating smoothly from a stop and with braking. My 2012 Sorento GDI acts literally as if it has a mind of its own. It accelerates by lunging forward, or just seems to stall in intersections (I am pressing the gas pedal with no response and then a lunge). Also if I take my foot off the accelerator, it literally brakes with out me applying the brake. It down shifts and jerks. I have taken it in, called KIA usa and am currently in a loaner hoping to get a solution. I am actually afraid to drive it!! Anyone else with this problem? It seems to happen the most when driving first thing in the morning or after it hasn't been driven for a few hours and almost exclusively when going 10 to 35 mph...it doesn't do this surging or breaking when on the fwy. |
