2013 Kia Sorento Suspension Problems

“I just had to replace the lower ball joints in my 2013 Sorento sx with only 60,000 miles on it. They were in bad shape, and made noises when turning corners or going over bumps. Ball joints should last far longer than this. I see many canadian sorentos had a ball joint recall. Brakes are spongy, too. I have replaced the brakes, and had the fluid checked for air, but still not a solid feel to it.”

“As I was trying to park I put the car in reverse and apply the break and put it down into drive as I dropped it to drive I heard a loud bang. Once the bang happen the front left driver's tire seized up car started accelerated but we're not going anywhere the right tire facing forward the left tire facing 45 to the west. After further examination it looks like the axle had been ripped ripped from the transmission as there was noticeably transmission fluid on the axle”

“Radio and camera system suddenly stops working. When you turn on the air conditioner comes a strong odor as silicone this happens the first time that I turn on the air conditioner in the day.

“The traffic light for my daughter's vehicle turned green. She proceeded into the intersection. And ended up crashing into the passenger side of another vehicle that ran thr red light. My daughter's vehicle sustained heavy damage to the entire front end . However there was no airbag deployment. We are very concerned due to the amount of damage done to the vehicle . And we wish to put it on report so that someone can investigate if there may be a defect in the airbag system.”
