2017 Kia Sorento Brakes Problems

“My dad 74 years old had an accident last month while he was driving this car on i90 highway.he told me that a car hit from behind of him while he was slowing down due to traffic and his foot was on break pedal to slow down.

“I was driving my 2017 Kia Sorento about 30mph early today going about 30mph when all of a sudden I heard a loud clunk from the rear end and the engine, all lighting, electrical, power steering and brakes just shut off. I was able to coast to a stop put the car in park. I then restarted it and it was fine. The dealer could find nothing wrong with it. This is very dangerous.

I also tried tapping the brakes which did nothing. This resulted in someone rear ending me. When the vehicle rear ended me that is when the brakes released.I had the vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased it from. …”

“15-dec-2016: traveling approx. 50 MPH during heavy traffic in marietta, ga, the vehicle had a complete loss of power therefore preventing the operator of said motor vehicle to have complete loss of control of the vehicle, (myself) thus, illustrating a serious safety defect. This issue could have resulted in serious injury, the loss of life of myself or other motorist, and or a catastrophic event to property and infrastructure.
