“Everytime I put the car in drive it makes a harsh banging noise. It also decides to just shut off as soon as I press on the gas or slow down after I've already started going on city streets I can also hear and feel clicking under driver's side floor board as I'm turning into drive ways,parking spots etc. This is an everyday thing that started last year.”

“My Kia Sorento was purchased from Kia in 2018 - 1st - I had to take the car back to check the rear breaks due to a shaking of the car that happens when going over 50mph. The driver side head light goes out every couple months. Recently the battery light came one, after the battery was swapped (the car still wouldn't power on)- they ran a few tests and discovered an electrical issue. I have tan my VIN for the recall but my car doesn't seem to be eligible for any recalls that mention an electrical issue with the Kia”

On 11/26/2018 after pulling in the drive way and existing the car I smelled what I believed to be an antifreeze smell.my car did not have any warning indicators on and my temperture gauge was normal. I took my car to dobbs on 11/27/2018, paid $30.95 and told it was leaking head gaskets which cost $4500-$5000 to repair. I decided to call Kia consumer affairs and had my car towed to a Kia dealership for diagnostics and they decided I needed a motor, the cost would be $7600. …”
