Kia should be sued for lying about mpg's!

2013 Kia Sorento EX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

While the Sorento is comfortable, quiet, quick, and well appointed, the poor gas mileage is a deal breaker! If we had known what it was going to get, which is about 23mpg's at best on highway, we never would've bought it. The number they gave at the dealership was 32mpg, which now, after being sued, they have adjusted to 30, which puts the Sorento below competitors instead of ahead. But we can't even get close to 30 ever!! Our Volvo gets exactly what it says on the sticker no matter the driving conditions. Don't be fooled! If you want it for other reasons, go ahead. But don't think they are competitive with Honda, Toyota, or others in this class. They continue to lie. It seems criminal.

I purchased a low mileage 2013 Kia Sorrento and it worked fine for several years. In February 2021 the vehicle was recalled because the engine could catch fire. Nothing was found to be wrong with my engine but they performed the KSDS installation. I thought that everything would be fine with the engine after the fix at the dealership. In July 2021, while travelling on the highway at 70 miles per hour, the Check Engine Light began flashing and the car began to lose power. We had to pull of the road and had it towed to the closest Kia dealership. We were 4 hours from home on the way to our vacation. Mechanic told us complete engine failure and my car has been sitting in the dealership 4 hours from my home for over a week. My car should be included in the extended warranty and the engine should be replaced but we are waiting on approval from Kia still. I was told that they had no loaner car available and couldn't help me with a rental until repair is approved by Kia. I have no idea how long I will be without a car and communication is lacking with the dealership. Very frustrated and this is a known problem that is very dangerous for those driving recalled vehicles. I do not recommend buying any vehicle from Kia.

a lot offered for the money, the ride is a little stiff. I no longer own the vehicle, I purchased a 2017 grand Cherokee for its towing ability. the kia could only tow 3500, the jeep will tow to 6200

I bought my 2013 Kia Sorento in 2014 and sorry to say I have had nothing but trouble. Its been 5 years now and have had engine problems 4 times. replace engine twice and the harness once , and sitting here waiting for ray skillman to call me back because the engine light is blinking again!. love the looks of a sorento but im almost scared to drive it especially on a trip..Ray Skillman has been great so far, and has taken care of everything but this is just crazy.
Love our 2012 Sorento

We have had our Sorento for a few days now. All i can say is, don't hesitate, buy this SUV. I love it, we have 4 kids and the 3rd row seat is very nice. I was a little nervous having a 4 cyl. in a Mid sized SUV but all the worries were quickly squashed. I don't know what the other reviewers were talking about when they said the 4 cyl Sorento was under powered, it's not. Try it for your self you'll be impressed. The ride is very smooth, the seats are comfy and overall it's just a very good looking SUV. Oh, the sound system is awesome! The only thing they should change, is to put a luggage rack on all models. I hope this helps someone, you wont be disappointed.
