Customers are complaining that the 3.3-liter engines in their 2016-2017 Kia Sorentos are blowing, leading to a loss of power, and a NHTSA investigation
Federal regulators in the United States are looking into a potential issue afflicting the engines in 2016-2017 Kia Sorentos. The vehicles in question are equipped with the 3.3-liter Lambda II V6, which may blow while the vehicle is in use.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a preliminary evaluation into the subject, after it received 13 complaints from owners alleging they lost power while driving their Sorentos.
“My family of four was traveling in the vehicle at 80 mph down I-65 when the malfunction occurred,” one complaint made to NHTSA states. “No warning lights came on, the vehicle began to slow to 60mph and would not accelerate when pressing the gas. When the gas was pressed the entire vehicle began to shake, still no warning lights.”
Blow a head gasket and it’s generally without warning.
