2013 Kia Sorento Fuel system Problems

“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.”

“Engine was replaced under recall in oct 2017. Ever since then I have had my engine light come on for evap leaks.

There were 2 times it was very difficult to restart the vehicle. …”

Due to vacation took vehicle to dealer on 10/8. Service manager said there was a recall for ECM and based on code from vehicle that was probably the problem. When I asked why I was not notified he said because it was not a safety issue????? To me loss of power on the highway is a safety issue. …”

“Car was parked. Went to start it up to and car wouldn't start. Engine kept turning over and over. First few times this happened, I was eventually able to get the car started but it would shake, vibrate, and hesitate while driving. Eventually, I went to start the car from park and it wouldn't start. I was able to get it started by jumping it, but the vibrations, shaking, and hesitation continued.
