Sorento

  • 14 miles
The contact owns a 2011 Kia Sorento. The contact stated that when he took his foot off the accelerator pedal and let the vehicle coast, it seemed as if the brake pedal was being depressed when traveling between 30-40 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the engine was breaking due to the torque converter. The dealer took the vehicle for a 23 mile drive and that although the failure did occur, it was normal. The contact was concerned that he could possibly lose control of the vehicle. The failure mileage was 14. The current mileage was 1,900.
