What owners wrote
My 2012 kia sorento at low speed,stalled and completely shut off, no power steering. I had to put my car into park and then restart. So glad I was not hit from behind as my car just shut off so suddenly. My car is only two years old and low mileage. It has happened twice since then. Thank god no accidents, yet. But im worried to drive it anticipating for it to happen again. It has been in the kia service shop twice and they are claiming to fix it. Also two weeks ago the right shock needed to be replaced.
Steering wheel shaking when driving also the boot is cracked and affecting the ball joints engine is leaking oil from underneath engine
