My vehicle has a safety recall and KIA hasn't sent me a paper of when this safety recall is going to be fixed. My vehicle automatically turns on and off the check engine light and I am unsure if it's because of the safety recall.

Low oil light had turned on and some strange noises began to sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The oil level however, did not seem terribly low, though new oil had been added to the vehicle nonetheless while waiting for a maintenance appointment the next day. While driving the vehicle later on that same night, the battery light, and check engine light suddenly came on and the vehicle began to shut down, thus forcing us to come to a stop in the middle of the road. Once towed and assessed the following day, I was informed that it had been engine failure and would in turn require a new engine.

The contact's wife owns a 2014 Kia Sportage. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 65 MPH, the vehicle shut-off with the check engine warning light illuminated. His wife coasted the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway and after restarting the vehicle, the vehicle stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact was called to the scene and was unable to restart the vehicle. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V907000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

Bought vehicle from team gunther Kia - daphne, al. Vehicle arrived in Colorado with illegally low tire tread depth and unusual rattling in the rear of vehicle which requires a heat shield replacement (I25 Kia in Colorado). Vehicle only has 23,000 miles. One owner, clean carfax report. Kia refuses to pay for heat shield replacement as vehicle ran out of warrant June of 2019 and 10 year powertrain warranty will not suffice despite incomplete sale (case number: 13917735). Tires should not have been so poor (hankook) at 4/32nds and extreme tire rot with only 23,000 original miles. Suspicious lack of documentation regarding odometer check that has delayed registration of vehicle in Colorado. The vehicle condition upon arrival would have been an illegal sale in the state of Colorado.

I was driving on then highway and my panoramic sunroof exploded. At first, I heard a loud 'bang' and I was immediately tense...I thought I got rear ended, then maybe my tire blew out?! I proceeded to hear the tinkling and shattering of glass. I pulled over once I realized it was the sunroof. The sunroof was not open, so thankfully the glass did not fall in on me. There was no rock or any object that I could see would have caused this. I was alone. I wasn't hurt. No one stopped. I then drove it straight to the dealership. They put a cover on it and told me to call my insurance. It is currently at a body shop.

My 2014 Kia Sportage is dying at random times. It has done it on many occasions, while driving down the road, stopped at stop signs and stop lights, dropping my son off at school, pulling out of the store, ect. I never know when it is going to happen. It has been in the shop many times but there is nothing that can be found wrong. No check engine light or anything. I have replace the battery and spent a lot of money to try and find what is wrong but no one can seem to find a reason for this to be happening. I have two young children and can not afford a new rig or car higher car payment and I am scared to have my children in my car to go anywhere in fear my car is going to die well driving at higher speeds. I dont even chance leaving town. The steering wheel and power brake start to lock when it dies when your on the road.
