I had this problem. Take brake servo off master cylinder and there is adjustment on rod. Screw adjuster further onto rod to give clearance from master cylinder

I have a 2013 Serento which all the dashlights are on and stay on. We have connected a meter to the computer which shows no codes found. I do not understand I can see a problem on the dash but the meter says no codes found. Anyone else having that problem?

CommentDashboard lights on car
Kia Sorento 2014 Engine 160155 miles
There is an ABS combined with parking brake light. I asked the technician and told me that it speed sensor which is malfunctioning,I changed speed sensors but the problem remains there
1 report
If the warning light is still on after replacing the speed sensors, there could be a problem with the ABS system or a malfunctioning component.
Here are a few things you can try:
Check the ABS system. The ABS system is responsible for maintaining traction and stability while braking. If there is a problem with the ABS system, it could cause the warning light to come on. You can check the ABS system by having a mechanic diagnose and repair any issues that may be present.
Check the parking brake. The parking brake is responsible for keeping the vehicle stationary when it is parked. If the parking brake is not functioning properly, it could cause the warning light to come on. You can check the parking brake by releasing it and making sure it is fully disengaged.
Check the wiring and connectors. If there is a problem with the wiring or connectors in the ABS system or parking brake, it could cause the warning light to come on. Check the wiring and connectors for any loose, damaged, or corroded wires. Make sure all connections are secure and free of any visible damage.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

CommentElectrical electrical system was completely shut down.
Kia Sorento 2008 75000 miles
The electrical system was completely shut down. Lights, gauged all completely dead. I messed with the shifter, brakes battery. Nothing. Thought I would try one more time before calling for help. Everything was back on, started easily. What could cause a shut down like that.

The same issue with my 2003 Kia Sorento. I am guessing it is a short in the wiring somewhere. Any advise?
Same thing here with 2008 Kia Sorento.
Had low power, like dead battery, tried to jump it and it shut down completely.

CommentStalling after fueling
Kia Sorento 2012 104000 miles
After putting gas into the tank the vehicle will not start. It takes a few times times before it will start. After it does start i take my foot off the brake to shift and go and it stalls again. It only stalls when I get gas. I have no problem starting vehicle any other time.

Did you figure out the problem? My 2014 sorrento was working fine. I got gas one night and the next morning it took a second to start, like it wasn't getting gas. Then it started and sounded like a tractor trailer. When I put it in gear it chugged and sputtered like it was dying and not getting gas. It finally went for a while then chocked on a major road full of speeding traffic. It stopped, but when I put it in park and started it again it went. Then random times at high speed it will sort sputter or choke for sec scaring the living crap out of me, but keep going. I thought bad gas and kept putting in complete system cleaners and super gas instead of regular. It is fine sometimes. Sometimes it is hard to start and a random choke while driving on the hwy. Lately morning starts have gotten worse. Recently engine light came on and i was told an O2 sensor code came on, so I bought the part and oddly after I filled the tank, the light went off. They changed it anyway. As soon a I drove off from the shop and got on the hwy it did it again. Went back and no codes. The mechanic said fuel pump. Omg this thing has 2 pumps. In my mind it is a filter or fuel regulator, but they are all in the pump. I took it to Kia, yesterday they had it all day and said they couldn't find a thing wrong and did not want to replace the 800 fuel pump. It did the whole starting like a tractor again this morning , but was fine on the way to work. I park on an angle with my tank face down in the back, I wonder if that is the issue. Although, I have parked in this spot for years. I am at a loss. I considered selling the thing. Just replaced an axle, battery, brakes/ rotars and tires. I don't know what to do.
