| Description of the problem | 2015 kia sorento stalled out while driving on the interstate no prior warning before stalling out. All dash lights illuminated and would not restart. Only clicking when turning the key. Replaced battery and still only clicks when turning the key. Replaced starter now cranks but still will not turn over. 68,000 i am the original owner and all maintenance has been maintained throughout ownership. Contacting the dealership first thing in the morning. If the outcome is the motor being faulty as i have read numerous reports of this ongoing issue and resolution cant be met then legal action will be taken. Thank god we weren't injured from stalling on the interstate or worse. When will it be realized this is a serious problem and dangerous? I pray no lives are lost before action is taken to correct the engine defects. |
