We have had nothing but trouble since we bought this thing. We've had to have new rotors put on after the first 15,000 miles.The interior lights stopped working. Have had to change countless bulbs in the head lights and tail lights. The transmission has gone out and dumped $1600. in having it worked on and still on working properly. The front seat design is horrible for long trips - across the country. The only good thing about this junk is that it is paid for. I'll never buy another KIA!
I love my Kia truck

I purchased my Kia this year with 67,000 miles. Car fax came back clean. My truck drives good. It Burns a lot of gas but I don't mind because I enjoy driving it. Looking forward to buying another one in a couple of years. Never thought I would a Kia cause I was told they were cheap vehicles. That's why you shouldn't knock it until you try it!
My Sorento was great

Bought new Michelin tires (new) wore out after only 27K miles, probably hot, rough roads to blame. First time on a very steep mountain downhill brakes became very hot, nearly failed. Otherwise, good MPG at first, 89 octane best for freeway speeds. Went to a dealer in another state for 30K maint., less zip but better MPG. Local Dealer (no Charge) replaced some power steering hoses and pesky doorjamb lock dented by dangling seat belt. A high-end shop did the 60K service, after 4K miles, loud noises. So, i parked it for 4 years, changed mechanic & did some routine re-work, no major issues! Great handling, good turning radius, smooth solid feel. Has been an awesome snow vehicle. Versatile storage, car-camper. Check service records and have a mechanic verify. Totaled by a careless driver 12/17. Darn! 84K miles Insurance settled for $8K but I lost 4 new tires in the repo.

I don't have enough room to get too detailed but its been in the shop since 5k miles so far 21 times for electrical problems, brake lights, headlights, check engine light coming on, new transmission, brakes X3, u-joints, huge vibration on floor board, squealing belts and KIA acts as if this is my fault and it only has 67k miles on it. I will NEVER buy another Kia as long as I live. I read the posting and there seems to be alot of the same problems I am having with mine. Now its value dropped so much I cant even exchange the vehicle for something else. It's a dangerous car to have, therefore retained an attorney.

I love my car with the exception of the electrical issues I have been having for over a year. I can't count how many headlights and brake lights I have had to replace because they keep blowing! Also the interior dome light chooses when it wants to work as well as the lights on the vent control located on the dash.
