The fan for my car worked intermittently. I took the car to the dealership and they said it was the fan. I replaced the fan myself. While replacing the fan, I noticed that one of the connectors was melted. After changing the fan, nothing changed. After that, I decided to remove the bad looking connector. When I did, I realized the damage was much worse than I realized. Some of the casing from the wiring was totally melted off. My radio also started changing stations randomly and my GPS was getting hot when I used it. After I replaced the connector, everything worked perfectly.

I purchased this vehicle from a private seller in August 2021 and attempted to obtain records of the vehicle Kia America Case ID #14353653 which Kia America has yet to provide me any information. I had a full diagnostic done by a certified mechanic at Borst Automotive in the state of Arizona on 09/18/21 where several concerns were reported to me that Kia failed to report. There is a new and concerning grinding with the engine on my 2006 Kia Sportage LX that sounds like it might be an exhaust leak. I hear loud grinding sounds now when turning on the car that immediately sound when it is fired up, and when accelerating is the worst, but the sound starts loud and is immediate when I turn on the vehicle and fire up the engine. Two days ago on 10-01-21 which was the last night I drove it as it feels unsafe to drive now, I did not get far before the front driver's tire closest to the engine completely blew out/ and exploded coming off of it's wheel and cap hinting at a potential engine problem or recalled defect. I had to immediately pull over and call AAA to come put the spare donut on my car to get it back home to park. The engine appears to have something wrong with the exhaust system and it sounds bad. I reported this today to Kia America case ID #14407655. I always make it a point to to check fluids and something is not right here. The car is overheated but Radiator is fine and coolant, and all other engine fluids are full but could be an engine issue that is dangerous. This engine sounds like it will burst at any minute its grinding and stalling so bad. Made an appointment with Royal Kia in my hometown Tucson, AZ for October 12, 2021 to have the fuel tank straps replaced and towed as apparently they are faulty and this was the soonest this dealership could perform this. I know the 2010-2021 Sportage models were recalled under Safety Recall 20V-750 but since this recall is somewhat new and yet to discover other Kia Sportage’s that might also be affected. Consumer also noticed malfunctioning of brake and tail lig

I was riding down the road and the airbag light came on. Two days later the check engine light came on. My mechanic thinks it IS a sensor for the check engine light. Having trouble with covid-19 getting the part, been waiting for over a week. My mechanic has recommended me taking the car to a KIA dealer ship with the airbag light coming on. He though for sure it would have a recall but I do not see one listed.

I hit the side of a car I didn't see while pulling out of a car park onto the road, so I was moving slowly forward. A car had appeared from behind 2 turning cars and I hit the side of it. Neither the air bag or the seat belt in my car stopped my head from making contact with the windshield. I was very shaken at the time as anyone would be. The following day I needed to rest, and 2 days later went to er where I had a scan and was diagnosed with a concussion. Over 2 weeks later, I am much better but not yet fully recovered. I received a citation from the attending police officer for careless driving. I have contacted corporate KIA to ask why both the airbag and seat belt failed to help me avoid injury. I attach a photo of the front of my car and the police report.

My friend and I were driving home at 55 mph when my sportage starting speeding up on its own. Then when I tried to stopped for a red light it wanted to cut off. So when the light changed it started speeding up and slowing on it's own. This went on for about 15 miles. I have never had a car do this. It was really scary. At one point it cut out in the middle of the highway. Thank god there was noone else behind me. I did make it home and it died pulling in the drive.

Back in may of this year, I heard of a recall for gas tank straps on my car - so called KIA and they said tank straps had been recalled and corrosion protection (undercoating) was also a remedy that was covered by the recall. I arranged recall service at closest dealer (1 1/2 hours away) who ordered the tank straps for me. unfortunately, once at the dealership, the service tech said that he could not replace the straps because he was concerned that the gas tank "would fall apart due to corrosion along the welded seam of the tank" a common problem known to KIA. Because the tech did not have a new tank in stock, I asked him if he could get one from a junk yard, he said that such a used tank "would likely have the same problem." I have been trying to get KIA to replace the straps and tank at their expense and to follow-up with undercoating as they are obligated to do - for months! I have called KIA consumer affairs and KIA america management in irvine ca multiple times over the past months. The only response I have had thus far was from jessica weaver of kia's consumer affairs dept (520 772 4714) ms weaver has repeatedly requested that I give her more time and she repeatedly fails to follow-through on her commitments to call back. My latest contact from her was two weeks ago where she again requested more time (five days) to resolve the issue - - I again never heard back from ms weaver. What ms weaver has conveyed to me IS that the regional parts and service manager needs to approve the repair and review the photos that were taken of the gas tank ...and she cannot get to him. I have repeatedly responded that there must be someone at KIA who can approve the repair. My sense IS that this poor woman has been told to jerk me around until I give up ...this will not happen. thanks for your help in getting KIA to meet their obligation.

Previously reported engine surges / erratic idle at 177800 miles, and throttle body cleaned at 177900 miles. at 178345 the idle air control valve was cleaned as a precaution, due to the previous symptoms. at 178377 while driving on the highway I found the throttle stuck in the full open position. after safely stopping the vehicle, I had to manually return the throttle to the normal position. upon restarting the vehicle I began experiencing erratic idling 3000 to 4000 rpm. once parked at 178382 the idle air control valve was rechecked, and engine idle rpm returned to normal. I checked the obdii and found no previous or pending codes. I will replace the idle air control valve.

While braking the vehicle appeared to be picking up speed. when I depressed the clutch the engine surged past 2000 rpm. while driving on a downgrade the vehicle was picking up speed, and I depressed the clutch and the engine rpm went 2000 rpm for several seconds. from my experiences with other vehicles I thought: maybe the driver's mat shifted, or some other object may have fallen and was interfering with the accelerator pedal. I felt around the pedal with my foot, but found no foreign objects. I used the tip of my foot to make the accelerator pedal was up all the way, and then engine rpm appeared to go to normal. when I reached my destination I tapped on the accelerator pedal a few times to re-create the problem. the engine went to 2000 rpm for about 3 seconds, and came back down. I checked for any codes using an obd II scanner, however none were found.

I recently purchased this car from cactus jacks during easter weekend 2018. With in the first week while driving the engine shut off while in motion but coming to a stop. I thought it was weird and that it may have been user error. To date it has done the same thing about a dozen times. It occurs while in motion while slowing down to either stop or turn. It has been on a city street. Traffic conditions vary. The gauge panel lights up as if the key IS in the on position, and it almost feels as if the engine IS still running but its not moving. And it also doesn't seem like a transmission issue because the transmission doesnt have any problems any other time.
