2013 Kia Sportage Electrical System

I received a recall notification last year, I live about an hr and a half away from the nearest Kia dealer, so I wasn’t able to get my car in to be inspected until last spring at the Kia in Medford. Then I got another notice in the mail stating my vehicle was amongst the ones that needed the HECU recall service done. I called the Kia dealer in Eugene and the earliest they could get me in was August 2024. A day or two before my long awaited appointment, they called to inform me that the part was on back order and that they would call me once it became available again. I haven’t received any communication from them as of yet. My car has been mostly parked since then and I’ve been borrowing a friends vehicle because I don’t want to risk my daughter and i’s safety. I received another notice from the corporate of Kia, stating I haven’t gotten it done and they strongly urge me to get it taken care of, I’ve tried booking another appointment online twice and there’s no availability and I’ve called 3 times with no return call. On the last notice I received, I see it says to submit a complaint to safercar.gov

Problem with the BCM, my signal lights, headlights and beeper is not working. My power lock doesn't work nor my beeper

Hecu needs to be replaced. This is a dangerous recall and it has almost been one year and it hasn't been resolved because the parts arent available.. I have children in my car and they tell me a fire could start while driving or parked. So, they will see the urgency in getting this part to us, after people have died? I am really upset that this is not being taken seriously when peoples lives could be at stake.

I WAS OUT DRIVING MY CAR ONE DAY AND THE WINDOW SWITCH STARTED ACTING UP,THE RADIO SHUT OFF, THE AC COMPRESSOR AND THE RADIATOR FAN STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY 2013 KIA SPORTAGE STARTED ACTING UP AS FAR AS THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES. IT INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. IF I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE CAR WILL BLOW HOT AIR. WHEN DRIVING IT WILL NOT BLOW COLD AIR UNLESS I'M GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH. LIVING IN FLORIDA THIS IS HORRIBLE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT'S FINE. THEY "TEST DRIVE" IT TO SEE AND SUPPOSEDLY THE TSTAT THEY PUT IN THE CAR SAID IT WAS BLOWING AIR 63 DEGREES. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $110 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. LUCKILY THE MECHANIC UNDERSTOOD WHERE I WAS COMING FROM AND DIDN'T END UP PAYING. THEN AS SOON AS I LEFT IT WASN'T WORKING. I THEN TODAY TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THE COMPRESSOR IS BAD AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! I HAVE READ WHERE SEVERAL OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

CAR SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, RANDOM ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING AND STAY LIT AFTER STOPPED, BLUETOOTH WON'T CONNECT AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO PRESS THE BUTTONS TO CONNECT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. STARTED AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, FEBRUARY 2017 AND IS CONTINUALLY HAPPENING RANDOMLY.
