2017 Kia Sorento UNKNOWN OR OTHER

DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING IN CONGESTED STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND/OR WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT'S AS IF THE CAR DOES NOT GET ANY GAS, AND THEN IT LUNGES FORWARD. WE WERE ON A FOUR-WEEK CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP AND FELT VERY UNSAFE. FOUR DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR IT.

THE AC LEAKS ONTO THE FLOOR AFTER AN HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. I WOULD NOT NOTICE IF I DID NOT HAVE RUBBER FLOORMATS.

OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON US I-5 JUST NORTH OF EVERETT, WA. THE GLASS BLEW UPWARD OUT OF THE CAR & GLASS SHARDS FLEW ON US AND OUR DOG. WE CLOSED THE FABRIC ROOF COVER SO THE GLASS WOULDN'T FALL ON US. KIA TACOMA SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRENTEE. THEY REPLACED THE SUNROOF SO WE COULD CONTINUE OUR TRIP TO ARIZONA. THE COST WAS $944 US. WE CONTACTED KIA CANADA WHO HAVE OPENED A CLAIM BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL BE REIMBURSED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HOPE PEOPLE WILL REPORT IT TO YOU SO THAT YOU CAN INSIST ON A BETTER QUALITY FOR SAFE SUNROOFS.
