2015 Kia Sorento

Engine complaints dominate the 2015 Kia Sorento's complaint record, accounting for well over a third of all reports. Owners frequently describe sudden power loss, stalling while driving, and warning lights, check engine, oil pressure, and battery lights, illuminating together, often without prior symptoms. A recurring pattern involves engine knock and overheating, with some owners reporting head gasket or internal engine failures. The second most-reported area is structure, where owners describe premature paint peeling and delamination across multiple body panels, most commonly noted on white-colored vehicles with no accident history. Exterior lighting complaints round out the top three, though at a similar volume to structure reports. The engine failure pattern is the clearest thread here, owners consistently describe abrupt loss of power followed by multiple warning lights, sometimes leading to the vehicle stalling in traffic.
