2008 Kia SORENTO Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	996952
Internal NHTSA #	10526018
Manufacurer	Kia Motors Corporation
Brand	KIA
Model	SORENTO
Model Year	2008
File date	20/07/13
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving on a surface street with a 40 mph speed limit. Car suddenly lost power and could not get speed above 20 mph. We were lucky that there wasn't much traffic about as this could definitely have caused an accident. When this happened both the esc off light and the check engine light came on. We had to leave our car in nevada and get a rental car to get home to arizona, we have no idea when we will get our car fixed and back home. We were owners of a kia rondo and the same thing happened to that vehicle too (no longer own that one). This vehicle needs to be recalled immediately and kia needs to admit that there is something seriously wrong and that they will take responsibility for fixing it. Too many owners having exactly the same problem, we should not be ignored.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
