Description of the problem | Our 2019 kia sorento lx v6 engine is surging and hesitating really bad. Car was brought in for service but nothing has worked to correct the issue. When pulling out onto the highway it will hesitate and then surge spinning the front tires, this is very serious safety issue! It has become dangerous for us to exit our development onto a busy high speed thoroughfare! Dealership indicates this is a known problem with the sorento and we should contact the manufacturer. We have driven other new kia models and none of them have this issue. |
