2013 Kia Sportage Other or unknown Problems

“There is a recall on the engine of 2013 Kia Sportage engines seizing up. My 2013 Kia Sportage 4 cylinder motor seized up when I pulled up to a red light. I was in rush hour traffic as I was nearing the red traffic light. I had aaa tow vehicle to Kia dealership in wilmington, being told it would cost $12,000.00 to fix.”

“Driving straight down the highway in the mountains, the car stalled 3 times when I would let off the gas. It began making a noise like the muffler wasn't working, then a knocking noise under the hood, and the noise under the hood got louder. I had the car towed to my repair shop. He told me the engine needed to be overhauled or replaced. I spoke to the dealer, the said the same thing. They want $9,800 to replace the engine.”

“Saw that my car was leaking oil; took it in to get looked at, the mechanic showed me the oil pan was leaking from several areas and there was oil all over the oil pan itself. Did some research and saw that some Kia sportages have been recalled for this problem. Called Kia and they said my car is not included in the recall because it is a 2013 not a 2012. They told me I will have to get it fix myself and pay for it - keep the receipts in case it is ever recalled.”

“I have had this vehicle less than 1 year. I have already bought 3 batteries due to something continuously draining battery power causing vehicle not to start. Upon taking to dealership for testing, I am told battery/alternator operates fine and they will charge about 85/hour to test fuses to see what else could be the problem. Approximately 3/23/3018, my radio shorted out. It is not functioning at all, cannot use radio at all nor bluetooth connectivity control. …”
