2017 Kia Sorento Brakes Problems

My dad 74 years old had an accident last month while he was driving this car on i90 highway.he told me that a car hit from behind of him while he was slowing down due to traffic and his foot was on break pedal to slow down.

On may 9, 2018 I was driving my vehicle when for no reason at all the aeb system alarm sounded and locked up all 4 wheels. The roads were wet and it was raining lightly. I was traveling aprox 40mph and was not braking at the time.

Problem: while driving the vehicle in very slow stop and go traffic the electronic parking brake engaged. I was unable to disengage the electronic parking brake by pressing the button. To get the car to move forward I had to shut the car off and back on.

Your car's ABS and electronic stability control system stopped working because the hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) failed. This is a known defect that Kia has addressed in a settlement for some 2017 Sorento models, but your vehicle was excluded despite having the identical problem. The repair cost $2,645 out of pocket. This issue affects your braking system's safety features and may warrant investigation for a broader recall.

Within the last 6 months the EPB Electronic Parking Brake system engages and will not disengage leaving me stranded 3 separate occassions having to be towed to the dealership twice. Now, the KIA dealer tells me the system needs to be replaced. The dealer originally acknowledged issues with this system and that there is no fix, or recall, at this time.

The speed sensor that works with traction control /stability and ABS has malfunctioned twice and has had to be replaced and 2 seperate occasions. The first time was when it only had 22,000 miles on it so that leads me to believe it is a malfunctioning part. Our ABS and traction control do not operate properly and is ridiculously expensive to fix.

After using AutoBrake while driving I turned off the engine without turning off the Autobrake system. The Electronic Parking Braking System {EPB] engaged. When I turned the car on again I could not disengage the EPB.

There were a handful occasions where the epb light would come on, and the emergency brake would lock up, which resulted in me not being able to move. The first time, I gave up trying to get it to move. Later, my husband tried, and it was back to normal.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 kia sorento. While driving approximately 65 MPH, all the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated. The contact pulled over to the shoulder, and turned off and restarted the engine.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 kia sorento. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact was able to get the vehicle to stop manually.

while traveling about 30 miles per hour a car in front stopped. When I applied the brakes the ABS locked up and caused my car to skid in to car in front. I had plenty of room to stop but as the policy report shows there was kid marks and car did not stop .

On March 14, 2024 at approximately 11:40, while driving on a private driveway, which had no other cars or pedestrians on or near it, my vehicle performed its own emergeny braking effort to bring the car to a stop. The standard KIA Emergency Braking warking text displayed on the dashboard declaring the incident.
