Engine seized at 70k miles

From day one this SUV had electrical problems. Multiple headlights were shorted out as well as taillights and other bulbs. I was always up to date on scheduled maintenance, oil changes, filters, etc... Also took my car to the dealership to have the countless recalls updated. I have never owned a vehicle with half as many recalls. Finally at about 70 thousand miles the engine seized and just died while I was in the middle of the road. My 10 year/100k warranty had just expired about 7 months prior so I either have to buy a new engine or a car. Easy decision, new car it is. I just want to cleanse my hands of this lemon and will never purchase another vehicle from Kia/Hyundai again.

bad paint / bad touchscreen

2014 Kia Sorento SXL 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl 6A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

have a pearl white 2014 SXL.. black interior.. purchased Certified from a Kia dealership in 2016.. paint started falling off vehicle in 2017.. not chips.. chunks of the white paint with the clear over coat. This seems to be a common issue with this particular white from Kia. Touchscreen occasionally doesn't work at power on.. according to Kia there is no warranty on paint.. so if all the paint falls off the vehicle too bad.. they can't find the problem with the touchscreen and also they apparently don't cover electronics either... not sure exactly what my bumper to bumper warranty does cover? the ash tray maybe? (car doesn't have one)... would not purchase another Kia as they don't stand behind their vehicles. Other than that the car seems to run ok.. no major issues but vehicle is used only occasionally.. still has less than 60k.. still time for the motor to fall out of the vehicle.. they probably don't cover moving parts either.

KIA Sorento best SUV

2014 Kia Sorento SX 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl 6A)

Excellent driving and features/dollar. Car is extremely reliable with many luxury class feature (SX). Only needed better rear-view Mirror auto-dimmimg, adding auto-dimming to side mirrors. Should also add top cargo support in case needed. I am very satisfied with the performance and gas saving on long trips. Looking forward to get another KIA car. Very pleasant driving.
