#14 of 15 Transmission Issues...again and again by nigelsmom Aug 29, 2009 (11:43 am)
My husband and I were officially kicked out and permanently banned from our Kia dealership today and all because of the on-going transmission issues with our 2007 Sorento LX.   We bought it brand new in 2/07, and by 4/12/07 we were having a brand new transmission put in...after they had already kept it for 21 days trying to fix the original; I had to threaten a lemon lawsuit against them just to get them moving on fixing it.   Well we now have the "newer" transmission but the same old problems, ie: bucking/jerking at various speeds, and a whole list of other problems to tag along (A/C won't come on have the time, the under-dash just falling off for no reason, traction light stays on, engine light stays on, etc.!). Anywho, we've owned it 30 months and it's been in the shop for a total of 58 days and everytime it's released back to us they promise that it's fixed and there will be no more problems. Oh, and you know the saftey recall they recently sent out regarding the tail light switch? Well our Kia was in the shop for that exact problem for 3 days because the tail lights wouldn't cut off, my husband didn't know it and it had drained his battery while he was at a client's house. Before we received the recall letter not once did the service dept. mention that there was a recall for the exact problem we were trying to have fixed! They even made us pay to replace a battery that died because their car was defective...gah!   I finally lost my cool today after I seriously thought it was breaking down on me on I-40 while I was going 63mph. I told my hubby to trade in that piece of junk for a Honda CRV or other comparable car because he already has 63k miles on it and what's it going to be like when the 100k warranty runs out? I guess that was enough to wake him up because next thing I know we're at Kia and words are flying and 15 minutes later we're being escorted out...oh the drama! I have to say after 3 yrs. of marriage I have never seen my husband so mad...   After reading a lot of the posts I hope I'll be able to find a bit of sympathy, but more than that some advice on any legal/corporate actions we can take to help get us to the next level of repairs it so desperately needs/will need (seeing as how we can't set foot back in the place we bought it!) Thanks!!

Replying to: tidester (Jul 04, 2009 9:55 pm) Well as usual the dealership found nothing wrong and couldn't duplicate the problem, DUH! we still have issues with the TCMP light coming on, they say it's a conflict with a radar dectector, not the case. ours is a 2008 and the wife wants to trade it in for some other make, I don't blame her.
