2017 KIA SPORTAGE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1543504
Internal NHTSA #	11184330
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA

Model Year	2017
File date	01/11/17
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air conditioning / heat system leaks air onto front windshield causing fog on the inside/outside of front glass. Transmission does not engage full time while in motion. While driving forward, the engine will race and the transmission will become disengaged, within 20-90 seconds the transmission re-engages and you can proceed. This happens sometime while you are entering a highway from an on ramp as you accelerate into moving traffic. The transmission was replaced with a remanufactured transmission less than 6 months ago and the vehicle is starting, to show these same symptoms again. It happened while on 1-95 in the alexandria area of virginia, route 66 south, route 29 expressway in lynchburg, va just last week. I have brought this to the attention of the dealership and the manufacturer without action. This malfunction is a threat to the safety of the driver and occupants as well as other vehicles on the highway. Without the ability to maintain control of the vehicle it is possible to cause an accident.
