Description of the problem | Purchased new 2/22/19. Reported acceleration hesitation problem to the dealer the next day. Since then it has been in the dealers shop over 30 days. Consistently hesitation and stumbles on acceleration. Kia motor co, has denied their is an issue and vehicle is running properly according to design. Kia engineers agreed there was an issue with my car but no fix available. I drove 3 different brand new sorento's with exact drivetrain and they all performed exactly as my car. Almost got run over last week trying to accelerate on an interstate on ramp. |
