Please be advised this is in addition to the fuel tank corrosion previously reported. The underside of the vehicle is eaten up with rust. It is affecting the unit body as well as several structural members of the vehicle. Have spoken with kia and they refuse to do anything about it. I feel that this is a serious issue as it is affecting the entire structural integrity of the vehicle.

Dealer said fuel tank had to be replaced due to pitting and corrosion. Please note that the section of the tank that is showing signs of corrosion and leaking are inside the passenger compartment. Specifically under the rear passenger seat. The vehicle was at the dealer because the check engine light was on. Video is available and we will be advising dealer to return the damaged fuel tank to us.

While driving back from oregon to idaho I was in cruise control going approximately 67mph and the vehicle lost power. I pressed on the gas and nothing so I disabled the cruise control and again attempted to press on the gas and it continued to lose power so I pulled onto the side of the road. Turned the car off and tried to start it again and it would not start. It had been to the mechanic that week to be checked out and when it was towed back the mechanic reported it had blown two cylinders.

We have taken our 2011 kia sorento to mulitple dealerships to get fixed. All say the engine is shot. There is a seal inside the engine that is making the vehicle not work. There is multiple recalls for other years of the kia sorento but not ours. The mechanics say that this year and make has had multiple issues with the engine. I am wondering when this year will be recalled for engine issues? When I start the 2011 kia is spudders and blows smoke out the muffler. I have been told that the whole engine needs to be replaced. The spuddering and smoke happens right when I start the vehicle. It is a 2011 and I only have 96k miles on it.
