I've had a 2017 Sportage diesel AWD for 5 years without any problems at all - the most reliable vehicle I've owned and I've been driving since the 60's. If the latest models are the same or better I have no reservations toward getting another later model Sportage :) The only thing that bugged me was the headlights which use a solenoid shutter to switch low/high beam IE there's no extra high beam bulb, just a single filament bulb so there's no extra light output in high beam mode (just the shutter cutting of the beam in low beam mode. Got around it by mounting LED driving lamps on the nudge bar controlled by a relay triggered by the signal to the shutter solenoids - can see everything now when on a dark country road at night (wild animals are suicidal in these parts).
2017 kia sportage 147km (country driven) and several trips to dealer to repair knock sensor - it is on "lifetime" warranty but the hassle is soooo not worth it. Last trip to dealer 3 days ago - they completed bearing clearing test, completed 478 ECU upgrade to flashing P1326, supposedly did road test to prove flashing CEL and DTC gone - but when I try to drive home and reach 100km/hr -- immediately engine decelerates and engine lite flashes again. Now waiting for tow truck to haul it back to dealer (all at no charge) and will wait for dealer to try try again to fix knock sensor --- very disappointed in KIA
The liftgate will stay unlocked if the fob is in your pocket, or say, within about 0.5 to 1 meter range. Lock doors farther away, and lift gate will be locked.
1. The knock sensor is currently a recall issue with KIA. Make sure the dealer updates the software AND the knock sensor wiring harness, both of these MUST be done! There is currently a class action lawsuit settlement over this issue, Kia has agreed to extend the warranty for this component to 100,000 miles. 2. the evaporator sensor is covered up to 5 year 60,000 mile warranty by KIA. I've personally had these issues with my 2018 Sportage LX AWD.
Stay away from Kia 4 cylinders, all of them, even the 2.5L, unless you do an intake cleaning every 8000 miles or so. A Korean mechanic explains why they start using oil, the top ring is too close to the top of the piston, and once carbon from the pcv and gdi systems build up, the ring gets stuck, allowing oil to blow by, eventually scoring the piston walls if you wait too long. So even if you have the carbon cleaned out, you no longer have a good seal. I have a Tucson which is so far fine at 48,000 miles, 1.6L turbo. And a Sportage at 68,000 miles that drinks a half a qt. of oil in 160 miles...It's going in for a carbon cleaning, if it's not resolved by Kia, it's gone. Since I know about running Seafoam or CRC thru the pcv system now, I may be able to keep the Tucson cleaned up. I looked up the RDX and they've been using GDI since 2006, I also looked up a piston for the 2.0L Turbo RDX and compared it to the Kia 4 cylinders, looks like the top ring in the Acura is twice the distance from the top of the piston as Kia's.
I've also got a 2016 Tucson ECO. I started doing a carbon clean 2 years ago after I learned about them, my 2017 Sportage started using oil about 50,000 or so, now at 68,000 it uses 1 qt. in 350 miles, going to Kia for a carbon clean today.
I have a 2017 Sportage Fe fwd with the 2.4L I’ve been having issues with the transmission it’ doesn’t happen all the time. Trans will jump into gear around 55-60 …. I’ll go to accelerate getting on the highway to merge and that’s when it happens usually … mainly in the morning almost like I should let the car warm up longer Other then that the car shifts and drives flawlessly
I have a 2017 sportage sx and the only two problems I've had so far is the driver door latch actuator failed and the hvac blending door actuator has failed. The blending door actuator was an easy fix $45 but the driver door latch actuator was more of a pain to basically disassemble the entire door to fix a $110 part.
Never had this issues. But a known issue is the motors for the power windows, the mechanism fails after couple years due to poor design of the gears of the motor which are plastic and not very durable at all, I don't know if this issue was solved with the face-lift models.
I reviewed this generation Kia Sportage in my channel! I must say it is very popular here in Belgium, everyone loves them, but it does have some identity issues in the interior design
I have AWD turbo diesel 2016 I havent had any issue. I service car every once a year is a must. Only problem I have is all my 3 electric window gears are all shredded thats attatched to the motor and the 4th will soon be shredded as well. And does not work. Had to watch tutorial on youtube how open to check to find problem coz it cost $150 each door window just for them to look for problem. I found problem myself😅 Had to order it straight from china coz its cheaper the kia parts. Still trying to fix the first window not easy.
The worse thing about these is the rear turn signals and bad drivers cutting you off in them thinking you should be able to see their low light when they are only inches ahead of you it the other lane.
P1326 is the code they use to determine engine replacement, correct? For a Top 5 problem, this seems like a MAJOR problem. If you are checking for engine knocking and losing oil, there is a MUCH more severe problem. This is extremely alarming to hear on a top 5 issues list. I was about to buy a 2018 or 2022 Sportage but I think I’ll opt to something different.
My sportage ql 2017 also failed the aircon function, but it is not failed the whole function, for the driver side the function is fine and the passanger side can not making the cold wind, only getting the hot wind.
I am having a problem with the air was stuck on for a bit and now the heater is stuck on. It was working fine a week ago and now all I have is heat. I did put in a new air conditioner system last summer. There is no ticking sound coming and like I said a month ago the air conditioner was stuck on all the time in 10 F temp in morning I was thinking it got stuck due to the weather but now we are at 35 F in morning and 60 during the day.
My 2018 Sportage SX had a bad "Steering Wheel Angle Sensor" and they quoted me a $4200 repair estimate. I got rid of the car at that point. Not worth spending that much on an older Kia that was also burning a LOT of oil indicating future engine problems.
I have an issue where if I have it in the manual shift mode, when I shift into second the revs go up to around 4 and I have no power to accelerate. If it is in standard drive mode it’s fine. Any ideas why this happens?
I have the 2017 Kia Sportage and I have had the AC problem. My compressor was replaced after I waited 3 weeks for the part. Another time they changed out the temp change which you mentioned another time. Then I demanded they get assistance from KIA corp. mechanics and they temporarily fixed my AC. It has been in the shop for over two months this year and is still not fixed. I reached out to KIA complaint and they said they could not help me with a buy back because of the state I Iive in. KIA corporation will not nothing to help me with this bad car I am stuck with. The supervisor advised me there was no now else I could talk too. I know there has to be someone else to reach out to. If anyone can help me please let me know. I found that the 2017 KIA built during the time mine was is known to have these problems but they will not admit it. He also advised that I trade up for a newer car.
Yes I have a 2017 Spectrum I have a problem with mines from it was 44 mileage still under warranty they claim they never find any problem with it whenever a character care I called corporate they told me to bring the car down there two windows on the driver side up or down passenger side. signal stocking, the LED lights keep blowing, brakes light fuse the AC was blowing cold but not no more now is out of warranty I don't have tons of money to fix the car.
I had a new air system put in last summer. I tested it out just to make sure it was working all winter. Well I got it stuck on air during 10 F and could not get the heat on. Now it is stuck on heat and it is getting new summer. I am afraid to take it to get check it cost 3700 dollars just to get new air put in.
The 2.4 litre engine is so problematic that Kia Canada will replace the engine if it fails with an UNLIMITED mileage warranty. Don't ask me how I know!
Hello, 2 separate issues , the ac thing inside the car has nothing to do with evap. Which is fuel clean system for EPA, thatsy why he said check you fuel tank cap. Thx
#6) Air Bag light on. Cause? Yet to be determined. I PRAY it is a broken wire under passenger seat. If not, I am in for a world of hurt! #7)-Total Engine failure without warning. (Kia will replace for free, with a lifetime engine warranty.) #8)-Traction Control System issues due to faulty wheel speed sensors. #9)-P0366: Exhaust Cam Shaft Position Sensor. (Rear of engine by exhaust manifold) Caused from plug corrosion. #10)-Popping out of gear. At random, going low speed RPM's sometimes jump up out of nowhere, without vehicle moving faster. #11)- Window Regulators. The gear on the regulator, and on the motor are plastic. ---After a few years, your windows will not go down anymore. ---If you get them to go down, by playing with the switch, they will not go back up. ---The gears inside of the regulator will strip out, and the motor can no longer turn the gear to roll up, or down your window. The regulator (The size of the whole lower part of the door!) is $130.00. The motor is $70-$80. And even when you fix them, they will eventually fail again. Cheap Plastic on Plastic will never last. Especially if you live where it gets really hot. #12) "Minor issue"! Rubber cover on exterior, lift gate handle, gets brittle and cracks, exposing door release electronics. #13) Paint on door mirrors, and on top of rear spoiler look as if acid was poured on the paint. Clear coat failing? I purchased my 2017 Kia Sportage LX when working in sales for Kia. It now has 109k on it. Out of warranty, no doubt. After working with Kia since 2005, this is the worst Kia product I have ever seen from Kia. I sold people Kia Rio's in 2005 that they are still driving till this day with no issues. The Rio was $9,995 NEW, and it lasted better than my Sportage. Everything listed above has happened to me and my wife. I will NEVER buy another Kia product. Thank god I left them in 2016, shortly after buying this Sportage. I could no longer, in good conscience sell anyone a Kia after owning this Sportage. BUYER BEWARE. The 2021 have all the same components as my 2017. Just a 'little" different design.
about number 6...if the light is on only when no one sits in there it is because it is supposed to do so, there is no reason to deploy a passenger airbag when there is no passenger so the light is on to let you know that the airbag is off until someone sits there. I own a 2017 kia sportage ex, zero issues so far.
Similar experience. Dry rotted Rear hatch rubber cover. Solution: purchased 2 replacement covers. Also, Paint on rear hatch spoiler looks like the moon surface. Must be repainted. Also driver side and, passenger door handle plastic button actuator was each replaced. Transmission replaced due to excessive slipping. AC compressor replaced due to clutch issues. Headlight cover yellowing. Clock in radio display disappeared.
How about consuming alot of oil between oil changes.. shows no oil leaks anywhere.. also have a bad hesitation no check engine light. 3k rev and motor just continues lose power,and putting the pedal to the floor to rev up. But its does nothing to rev up
@@nicolefarmer7448 Korean mechanic has a video on oil consumption. Carbon and sludge build up around the top ring which is a design flaw and they don't fix it in the 2.5L. It too close to the top of the piston, I looked up a Kia piston, compared it to an Acura 2.0L Turbo piston, the Acura piston looks to be twice the distance away from the crown of the piston.
I have a 2017 with 25,000 miles and so far the only issue I've had is that the AC/Fan settings don't recognize that I'm tying to switch it. It doesn't respond. I turn it off and then back on. Is that a biggie? I appreciate it, thanks.
+Lone Wolf We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Take it in for a decarbonization, about $250. My 2017 started burning oil at 50,000 miles, now at 68,000 it's using 1qt. in 350 miles. Going in for decarbonization later today. I learned of this about 2 years ago, so I have been spraying Seafoam in the pcv return line once a summer since for a clean up. Sportage was already burning oil 2 years ago.
Shit right off the hop fixed the first problem lol I thought maybe I always hit the button or that the keys in my pocket allowed it to be unlocked but ya. ..that's not good
+aerick chu Thanks for the feedback! There are many other things that we could have added, these are just the most common 5 we found. We will pass this on to our production team if we are to make a part 2. 1aauto.com
We had a 2016 KIA Soul that would get Check Engine light and shutter and sputter if we run Ethanol Fuel in it. We started using GATE Non-Ethanol fuel and the Check Engine light went off and car stared running fine. We just purchased a 2021 KIA Sportage and only use Gate, Shell and Exxon/Mobile Non-Ethanol fuel in it. We also started only using Non-Ethanol fuel in our other vehicles.
@@Jacdog Do a carbon clean up on all Korean 4 cylinders every 8,000 miles or so, or you maybe using 1 qt. of oil per 350 miles by the time it hits 68,000.
I have the 2019 Sorento and it is junk. Shut the door and entire SUV thumps and rattles . Multiple issues with cruise control issues with check engine light for last 4 months. Even has jumped out of gear and rolled into neighbors mail box. 2nd occasion rolled into my wifes car behind me. Kia lies to me and does not honor anything. Stay Away from anything Kia

do these issues can be found on the 3rd generation 2015 kia sportage ?
They also addressed something with all the door latches, I received a letter from kia stating they would extend the warranty on those parts
I think i just got the knock sensor problem myself

Hi..what is the best engine oil for Kia Sportage GDi 2015..
Can you make video for third generation kia sportage?
2017 Sportage. Oil consumption😢.
Is the Knock Sensor issue the same for the 2L Turbo variant as well? Or just the 2.4L NA
Same issue. Check your vehicle's VIN with Kia to see if there's any recalls to be done immediately.
Did you end up figuring that out? I just started having trouble with my 2017 2.0t

You never mentioned burning oil . 2018 less than 45 thousand miles .
Not true about that trunk, mine stay closed and I can't open it when locked

I learned of this about 2 years ago, so I have been spraying Seafoam in the pcv return line once a summer since for a clean up. Sportage was already burning oil 2 years ago.
Having All those problems
Shit right off the hop fixed the first problem lol I thought maybe I always hit the button or that the keys in my pocket allowed it to be unlocked but ya. ..that's not good
This nonsesense limp mode got me into an accident. No idea why this is even a thing..
why don't include speed sensor problem?
+aerick chu Thanks for the feedback! There are many other things that we could have added, these are just the most common 5 we found. We will pass this on to our production team if we are to make a part 2. 1aauto.com
i bought kia sportage last feb 2020, after reach 5k km, fuel injection got problem....
We had a 2016 KIA Soul that would get Check Engine light and shutter and sputter if we run Ethanol Fuel in it. We started using GATE Non-Ethanol fuel and the Check Engine light went off and car stared running fine. We just purchased a 2021 KIA Sportage and only use Gate, Shell and Exxon/Mobile Non-Ethanol fuel in it. We also started only using Non-Ethanol fuel in our other vehicles.
@@Jacdog Do a carbon clean up on all Korean 4 cylinders every 8,000 miles or so, or you maybe using 1 qt. of oil per 350 miles by the time it hits 68,000.
Never had any of these problems
Because i don't have a car
I have the 2019 Sorento and it is junk. Shut the door and entire SUV thumps and rattles . Multiple issues with cruise control issues with check engine light for last 4 months. Even has jumped out of gear and rolled into neighbors mail box. 2nd occasion rolled into my wifes car behind me. Kia lies to me and does not honor anything. Stay Away from anything Kia
