2007 Kia Sorento Other Problems

When you parked your Sorento and used the automatic door unlock feature, the rear doors wouldn't unlock, and the inside door handles wouldn't work—leaving you trapped in the back seat. You had to crawl out through the trunk to escape. This created a serious safety concern, especially if a child or elderly person were trapped in the back in an emergency situation. The fix likely involves inspecting and repairing the rear door lock actuators and the internal door handle mechanisms.

Your ABS warning light stays on constantly. While driving, you experience the engine power cutting out and then coming back on repeatedly, which happens while you're still moving. This intermittent power loss needs to be diagnosed to identify whether it's related to the ABS system, electrical connections, or another component.

You contacted the manufacturer about a recall on your vehicle, but they told you multiple times they don't have the replacement part available to fix it. This means your recall repair has been delayed due to parts unavailability.

THIS MORNING I WAS IN A CITY STREET HAD JUST LEFT HOME AND TURN ON THE FRONT DEFOGGER, AFTER 2-3 MIN. I NOTICED SOME SMOKE AND SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. THEN I HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND.
