Yes there was a recall in a module control panel which still is messed up. It’s been replaced a couple x. Also the dim lights since I bought the car have a very low light were you can hardly see at night. And this SUV drinks gas on long/short trips. I’ve taken it in several times but they keep saying nothing’s wrong and I know there is I have driven my boyfriend vehicle which is a V6 and went the same exact distance and didn’t have to get any fuel until I was about half way back. Something has to give. I love my Kia as I have owned 2. But something is really wrong. Please help. Thanks

The car seizes, and jerks, like a missfire. It scares me.

Wheel speed sensor, ABS sensor, and TPMS sensor gave out at 56k. Got in one day and it said I was doing 140 while parked. Before I got to my destination, the ABS, tcs, and TPMS lights were on. Car was used and well taken care of. If everything wasn't built into the wheel hub, it would be a relatively easy fix. Instead I now have to drive my sorento with no tcs, ABS, or know if a tire is low/flat because a quoted cost of repair was close to 1200 dollars. Nobody has 1200 to get it fixed. After looking at online forums, it seems to be common with 2013-2015 sorento to have anything ABS/tcs related go south. Car drives like a dream, only wish it didn't take 2 months rent to feel safe.

I took it in to a kia dealership and they refuse to diagnose the awd until an alignment is done and new tires are bought

The ABS, ESC, and low tire pressure lights keep coming on. We have had the car fixed and the lights still come on. City kia told us to ignore the lights cause the sensor was bad. But that's not a good enough answer. Not only that but the headlights are dull and are hard to see at night, which I do a lot of night time driving. The image I am attaching is one I took after having repairs made on my car.

2015 kia sorrento sxl engine check light and vehicle verbal warning that my truck has a serious engine problem that needs to be checked. I took my truck to the dealership service three times in one week to research and repair the engine issue. I paid over $300 for repair.

My engine has low take off speed when getting on the highway and it runs rough.
