Vehicle: 2025 Kia Sorento (259 miles at purchase) Within approximately two months of ownership (~3,000 miles), the vehicle began experiencing serious safety-related issues, including intermittent stalling, braking problems, and electrical malfunctions. Symptoms include: \u2022Vehicle stalled and failed to restart, leaving me stranded \u2022Radio/display screen went blank \u2022Heating/climate system became nonfunctional \u2022Vehicle would not shift into neutral \u2022Persistent burning odor inside and outside the vehicle These issues raise concern about a potential fire risk. In May 2025, the vehicle was inspected by two separate dealerships, both of which reported no issues. The condition worsened, resulting in a complete failure requiring towing. A dealership later identified \u201celectrical issues,\u201d but key symptoms were not documented. A second dealership has since stated the vehicle is operating normally; I disagree, as I believe the root cause has not been resolved. Issues began at ~3,000 miles, with major failure at ~22,000 miles. I have contacted Kia and requested a buyback due to repeated failures and safety concerns. This request was denied twice; a goodwill credit was offered but not accepted. This complaint is submitted to report ongoing safety defects involving stalling, braking, electrical failure, and a potential fire risk.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SORENTO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
