2023 Kia SORENTO - ENGINE and FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM Failure Complaint (#b17d55)

2023 Kia SORENTO

  • Date of Incident: Dec-21, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-21, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE and FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

When trying to accelerate from a standing stop, there is a one or two second delay, once the accelerator pedal is depressed, before the car moves. Extremely dangerous when pulling out into traffic. I had it back to the dealership to address this problem but they found nothing wrong. I guarantee you , the problem continues to exist.
