2014 KIA SORENTO Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Internal NHTSA #	11181072

Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This vehicle has a parasitic drain issue that kia is aware of on this model. The issue was addressed for all lx, ex, limited, and sx of this vehicle except for the sxl. I have the sxl version and was told by kia it did not meet the vin requirements even though it meets the born on date and has the same issues as the others. I have had my vehicle tested by a kia master tech and it does have a parasitic drain (battery dead after vehicle sits for 48 hours) from the same drivers door switch addressed in tsb ele-069. I believe that kia has overlooked the sxl models in their recalls as my vehicle is a 2014 and has only had the sa-163a update performed (also the only one listed for my vin) and my vehicle has many of the same issues as the others have. Kia addressed the issue at hand on all the others, lx, limited, ex, and sx, with nhtsa id 10109757 and kia tsb ele-069, ele-057, and sa-163. I would like to have the sxl vehicles looked into as i believe they are not getting the required tsb's addressed properly.
