| Description of the problem | I bought my 2016 kia sorento in 2019 since i purchased it the motor has went out in it which had to be replaced which i had to pay the warranty fee plus other cost not included in the warrenty, i have had to change my back tail light at least once a month because it keeps going out and i don't know why the transmission seems to stall when i try to accelerate it makes a noise that sounds like open air the car jumps slightly sometimes and at times it won't accelerate here recently on 2 occasions the accelerator still accelerated after i removed my foot from the pedal this scared me mainly because my kids were in the car and it seemed like it was accelerating to full capacity after tapping the pedal with my foot multiple times if finally released. |
