Why is my Kia Sorento constantly losing power?

I recently purchased a Kia Sorento and have noticed that it is constantly losing power while I am driving. The acceleration is also very slow. What could be causing this issue? Is it a common problem with Kia Sorentos?

Hi Samantha, thank you for reaching out. A common reason for a Kia Sorento losing power could be due to a clogged air filter or fuel filter. I suggest getting these checked and replaced if necessary. It could also be an issue with the spark plugs or engine sensors. I recommend getting a diagnostic test done to determine the root cause.

Hi Samantha, I had a similar issue with my Kia Sorento and it turned out to be a faulty throttle position sensor. I would suggest getting this component checked and replaced if needed. It could also be an issue with the fuel pump or fuel injectors. Better to get it checked by a professional.

Hi Samantha, another common cause for a loss of power in Kia Sorentos is a malfunctioning transmission. If you notice any jerking or hesitation while shifting gears, then this could be the issue. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection.
