Like The Car, But Be Warned

James S., 11/30/2022
2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid S 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)
I had driven a Hyundai Sonata hybrid for many years and loved the car. My wife was the pleased owner of a Kia, so when I saw a 2022 Sorento hybrid become available at a relatively good price, I decided to make the switch from my Sonata. The Sorento hybrid is an impressive vehicle. Despite the reports from some owners of disappointing fuel economy, I have been getting 40 MPG. … Amazingly enough, that is even better than the mileage my Sorento hybrid had afforded, despite the Sorento being a larger vehicle. The gas station trips will be few and far between. The Sorento is also equipped with numerous interesting technological features. There are even two levels of lane-assist driving. Not something that I have elected to use, but it might come in handy for those wishing to take a cat nap while driving. I am pleased with the ride quality, and the six passenger seating comes in handy with the grandkids (though I would have preferred seven passenger bench seating). Now for the caveat. On my fifth day of ownership, I repeatedly tried to start the car without success. The interior lights worked, but the car was otherwise as dead as a doornail. I wound up contacting the Kia road service that was part of the warranty, fearing wisely that the car might ultimately have to be towed all the way to a Kia dealership. After the usual two hour wait, a tow truck did arrive. The driver tried, also without success, to jump start the car, then tried to shift the car to neutral so that it could be towed in the normal fashion. That brings us to the first major issue. The car was designed with an unusual rotary shift dial on the center console. Without power, there is no way to shift the car to neutral. Normally, such a vehicle will also be equipped with a "shift lock release" somewhere on the console or dash to compensate for this and to allow an emergency shift to neutral. But as far as anyone can tell (and that includes the local Kia dealers and the national Kia road service personnel), this car lacks that feature. That is a very fundamental design problem. To return to the narrative, the first tow driver departed and informed me that he had called for a second truck to come out. Well, after waiting another two hours, that second driver appeared and simply went through the same futile motions. I was then promised a third truck that would be properly equipped to deal with the issue. That truck did not arrive until late the following morning. The driver had to employ a wheel lift and dollies to transport the car to the dealership. Needless to say, most tow trucks do not come equipped with these mechanisms. The bottom line is that it was almost 24 hours before the car was to get to the Kia service center. But that was just the start of the odyssey. The dealership was initially unable to figure out the source of the problem. They admitted that the hybrid was so new that they were not really familiar with the technology of the vehicle. They had to coordinate for several days with engineers at Kia central headquarters before diagnosing the issue as a defective starter button. So that should be quickly rectifiable, right? Wrong. I was told that it would take around 5 business days to get a new switch! That is a clear indication that certain essential parts for this car are not being stocked regionally. But even so, one would think that the equipment would be sent for overnight delivery as a simple courtesy for Kia customers. Well, apparently not. As it turned out, it took nine days for the item to arrive. In total, I was without the Sorento for a couple of days short of three weeks. The one saving grace is that after about a week without the vehicle, the dealership provided a rental car through Enterprise. Without that, I would have been beside myself. Was this untoward experience an extraordinary occurrence? Probably. As I mentioned, I am otherwise impressed with the vehicle. But potential buyers should at least be aware of the issues I encountered.
