Description of the problem	Found this on another web site: www. Topclassactions. Com (see below for description) very interesting: apparently this defect has been going on since 2002!! Well it's still happening i have the 2011 6 cyl awd and found out it's still a defect in the 2012 and 2013. Nothing more to say but 'shame on kia motors' your lack of taking ownership for this defect is just discusting. Nhtsa please help us..... Lives need to be saved; i am bleary eyed reading all the powertrain defects for the 2011 kia sorento. The kia sorento is prone to catastrophic engine failure, according to a class action lawsuit filed in new jersey. Plaintiffs allege in the kia sorento class action lawsuit that kia motors knowingly concealed that its 2002-2009 sorento crossovers were manufactured with a defective engine part called the crank sprocket. This alleged engine defect leads to a catastrophic chain of events that starts with severe heat buildup, the release of debris, and then leads to loss of steering control, engine failure and the potential for a hazardous accident, according to the class action lawsuit.
