What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 kia sorento. While attempting to accelerate from a traffic light, the vehicle lunged forward and accelerated independently without warning. The last time the failure occurred, the vehicle crashed into the garage and caused extensive damage. The contact sustained minor bruising that did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 27,123.
I was driving on the highway and when the vehicle in front of me stopped short my kia would stop I had to swerve to the side of the road to stop. I noticed smoke from the hood so I waited until it stopped and slowly moved into the already slowed traffic and went home park the vehicle and reported to kia but they continue to give me the run around and not offer repairs unless I paid for it
