Kia Sorento Change Vehicle

"The CD player randomly stops playing a CD. Repeated times over various CD's. Hard to get the CD to eject then. Have to shut the car off. Will take it in at next service to get fixed."

"display screen freezes and won't clear up right away"

"Display screen (head unit) does not activate on startup - sometimes. Stays blank and none of the features associated are available - cameras, AV system, Bluetooth phone, etc. After a few minutes, sometimes a mile, system activates and all is OK. On request for evidence, provided dealer with videos of system in that state showing odometer, tachometer, and blank screen. That was 3-1-17 and it is now 5-13-17. Dealer says they are seeking a solution. Have not had follow-up contact initiated by Deale"

"Display Screen periodically went blank on start up. Took videos of screen, tachometer, and other dash. Gave those to dealer. Dealer ordered replacement and dropped it in. No problem, no hassle. Works consistently. No follow-on problems."

"This is the same "intermittent" connection issue that I described regarding Phone connectivity. It is only an occassional problem and occurs when I am plugged in via USB (which is what I do during long trips). I've asked the Dealer and they have no idea what I'm talking about - so the source and solution of the problem are TBD"

"Please see my previous comments."

"System will not maintain the traffic information provided by XM. I let the XM Radio subscription expire and then bought the Traffic subscription, but it won't work as it should. I have to activate the Traffic by calling XM when I try to use it"

"Would not pull up a valid address"

"Constant dropping and reconnecting of phone connection"

"Bluetooth pairing and connections work fine. It is when I'm plugged in via the USB and using Apple Car Play that I experience intermittent problems. Occassionally the USB connection with the phone witll drop - which is particularly annoying when I'm in the middle of a phonecall. I don't know the exact problem, but it sometimes seems to be related to confusion between trying to connect to my phone via USB and then switching to Bluetooth after I'm already connected. TBD. I asked the Dealer an"

"During cold weather (below 25 degrees) I had to constantly reconnect the Bluetooth and reset the clock time."

"The Sirius radio signal became intermittent. The antenna was replaced to solve the problem."

"once in a while the screen does not accept touch commands. if you turn the car off and then on again, that resolves the issue"

"The radio doesn't come on with the power button. You have to touch the radio button each time."

"Sometimes (1-3 times/month), sound does not activate when I start the car. It is a very minor issue."

"Sirius radio signal intermittently drops to weak or no signal. Dealership replaced radio, but problem remains. Have not been back to give them a chance to look at this again."

"Entertainment system including the display screen died, had to be replaced under warranty"

"Not good at recognizing phone commands related to telephone dialing."

"1. Voice Recognition completely does not work to pull up the correct telephone contact. 99% of the time it presents the wrong choices. I just do not use it anymore out of frustration. 2. Google Maps will only play thru car speaker when iPhone7+ is connected via USB cable to USB port of car and I select MEDIA from the dash console. When bluetooth connected alone I cannot hear Google Maps directions thru my car speaker. The cellphone talks but too low to hear while driving. 3. My previous 2014 ML350 had EXCELLENT voice recognition and bluetooth integration. And the center console wheel/knob was perfectly positioned to use and drive. By comparison oo access various things while driving I have to touch the Sorrento's screen. The screen is not convenient to reach (arm & hand bounces while driving), is either not responsive enough, or it is too responsive, making it difficult to drive and find a phone contact at the same time to the point of actually being dangerous. 4. Google Maps will NOT display on the car's screen. Only Apple Maps, which is inferior by comparison, will display on the car's screen. This is just poor integration with the phone. Whatever is displayed on the phone should be able to be displayed on the car's screen, except for movies and other things that one should not be watching while driving. 5. Overall the car's electronics with regard to Navigation, bluetooth integration and voice recognition are either just too clumsy to use and difficult to understand or they just do not work at all."

"Driver side eye lase light dimmer then other side"

"Puddle lights on driver's side stopped working. They were repaired under warranty and have not been a problem since."

"At night suddenly all lights went dark and came back on after app. 5 seconds."

"Headlights go out randomly when needed most, at night and remain off until turn them off and back on again. Particulaly dangerous at freeway speeds in unlit areas!"

"Headlights are not properly aimed. Night time driving requires use of high beams in order to see safe distance ahead."

"Headlights were turned off for a few seconds when it was in auto headlights mode, I called manufacturer and they said there is no recall for this problem so they advised me to take the car to dealer. I doubt I can show the problems so I did not take the car to dealer."

"Headlights way out of adjustment. took 3 trips to dealer to get them correctly adjusted. They appear to be again somewhat out of adjustment. Dealer worked well with us to correct the adjustment issue the first time. Just noticed that the lights seem to somewhat out of adjustment a few days ago. Have not had a chance to get vehicle back to dealer"

"Auto leveling headlights have VERY short range, like 25 feet. Also, they don't seem to automatically level. They seem to be aimed downward, and left/right side cutoff are not even. The auto bending feature has very limited effect when turning. The Halogen headlights on my 2004 Subaru Forester are much more effective"

"Low/slow level of heat and cooling compared to previous car"

"1 Defective horn. Dealer replaced"

"Passenger side airbag warning light will not go off with Passenger is sitting on a blanket had Kia rep check out the vehicle .he says it’s within its limitations if you take the blanket off it will work ,told me to have my wife To sit in the backseat !What happens to handicap people that need a cushion to sit on big safety violation"

"Was a manufacturing assembly error. Part of the sensor wiring harness runs through the headliner. A single small wire was caught between two pieces of metal and crushed - not broken. Caused Adaptive Cruise Control to not perform consistently. Forward Early Warning and Rear Cross Traffic also did not operate. Dealer and Factory diagnosed and fixed in very acceptable and satisfactory manner, especially updates and communication. They both should be commended for manner in which they handled and solved it."

"only works about half the time some times it speeds up instead of slowing down."

"the emergency braking and collision warning have been inoperative since I bought the vehicle and Kia will not fix it. They say it passes their electrical test but it does not work"

"The front camera was loose"

"Consistent failure of BSD. Kia keeps resetting/recalibrating. But issue returns after a few days. 4 Trips to dealer."

"emergency warning and braking give too little warning. emergency braking has never kicked in during some potential collision occurrences. Dealer said system is working as designed , Kia has changed the wording of ots brochures to indicate emergency braking may only reduce the impact of a collision--not prevent collision by emergengy braking to stop vehicle"

"Right side not always detecting car. Dealer recalibrated system. Okay after that."
