“Abs, traction, and tire warning lights all come on at same time, the tire warning light blinks for a minute or so. I checked for low pressure in tires and it was not the problem vehicle seems to function fine no traction issues no ABS issues that I can see or feel in driving, saw the recall for the awd but mine is fwd.”

“Car was in drive in a parking lot, when accelerator pedal was pushed it stuck and would not release, car sped at a high rate of speed even with brake and emergency brake on. I tried taking car out of gear and it went into reverse at a high rate of speed. Finally I was able to turn car off but I am scared to drive it.”

“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 Sorento feels like it's going to stall, especially when accelerating. It's also burning oil at an alarming rate. The oil lamp flickered once while driving on the highway. There is no obvious oil leak. I took it to the dealership and they said it needs a new engine it that it isn't covered under the 17v224 recall. I'm afraid that the engine is failing and that it is Kia's responsibility, but they are ignoring the problem”

“Acceleration. When I accelerate it hesitates to pick up. Very dangerous as I was trying to merge into the highway or merge into a different lane it did not accelerate quickly enough and the vehicles in that lane had to brake hard as I entered that lane almost rear ending my vehicle. Even if I press the gas pedal hard it does the same thing, it hesitates before speeding up. Another issue is the door lock button from both driver and passenger sides work sometimes and doesn't work sometimes. …”
