2013 Kia Sorento driver assistance problems

Filed Feb 9, 2024 · Driver assistance · WI

About 4 years ago the rear view warning started to get foggy/blurred so it was hard to see what was towards the rear when backing. Contacted dealer about this and of course it was no longer in warranty and I would have to pay a high price to have this replaced. After the view became blank, all your saw were the lines that would show how close you were to another car while backing up I once again ask my dealer about it, if they were having trouble like this on other Kia cars and he would not tell me, just told me the price of replacment. So I started to wonder if this problem showed up on other Kia's

My car was driving on the highway when the whole thing just cut out. I've never had a a problem with it. And I had to get it towed just to be told I need a new engine.

My 2013 kia sorento backup camera recently stopped working, after researching on the internet it seems like a very common issue for a lot of kia models because the cameras are not properly sealed and get corroded inside of them. When I shift the car to reverse the screen is black, the distance lines show up but no camera video feed or sometimes it is intermittent after waiting for 20+ seconds.

We experienced literally everything described on the last letter for the recall on our 2013 kia sorento's ecu, including the vehicle shutting off in the middle of active intersections, highway, and normal driving operation(s). My wife and I own a vehicle (2013 kia sorento), that is the subject of your "voluntary service campaign to update the engine control unit (ecu)". After the ecu unit was replaced we received the attached letter from kia that states he has a warranty on the engine for as long as we own the vehicle. Despite this letter, we've been told by kia USA corporate and lithia kia of anchorage that our vehicle is no longer covered by a warranty due to mileage. I expect someone in a higher level management to explain, asformerly requested. As of december 23, 2019, we had our vehicle towed to lithia kia of anchorage to attempt to have the vehicle diagnosed, and communicate with kia USA. Kia has decided to stop communicating with us and will not share any information with our law firm, per their own guidance. We are hoping this will complete this tedious method of vehicle repair(s). Kia needs to explain to us why it will not honor the warranty as stated in the letter. I am a retired disabled veteran and can be reached at any hour. Per my law firm's instruction(s), we have contacted and filed a claim through the state of alaska attorney general's office as well.

Vehicle has been well taken care of and is in excellent shape. Only 52,000 miles when the ABS light, traction control, and downhill assist light came on at the same time. Won't go off as many other owners have attested to in forums all over the internet. Came on when the vehicle was moving on the highway and then went off. Came back on the next day several times and now is stuck on.

My car 2013 kia sorento burnt up !!

I bought a 2013 kia sorento last night saturday 12/19/2015 and the paperwork did not get complete until after 10:30pm. The salesman stated that all components had been checked and that all was good. I live a hour away from the dealership and when I was on 290 heading east at about 70 MPH, when I noticed that my dash and radio panel lights start flickering, my motor felt like it idled down a little but then it was ok, but then it happened again and all the lights in the radio area, steering wheel and speedometer area turned off and it lost a little power but then they all came back on and I made it home, then on 12/20/15 I was driving into town and after about 10 miles at 75 MPH my inside lights started flashing again, and then went totally dark. I didn't lose any power this time but I'm starting to feel pretty ripped off. I also noticed today that while driving on hwy that when you come up to a curve to the right, the vehicle jerks to far and I ended up in the other lane. Thank god that no car was there.
