Having now driven this car as a primary for 27k miles, this car is a good one. Easy to work on, even if you're a backyard mechanic. Lots of room, even for a family of six (all small children). Downside, there's not a real trunk space if you have the third row. Positives, plenty of extras even on the base model, pre-drilled holes for mounting aftermarket towing kits and side rails, plus it gets better gas mileage than a minivan. So far, no major maintenance has been needed.

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.

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.
It started out great, but........

Its a really nice car on the outside, and it ran really well, but not the even a year after buying the car, the interior starting becoming extremely prone to getting dirty very quick and not so easy to clean up....couple years pass and the radio/cd player, Bluetooth all just stop working one day and I've gone the last couple years without the pleasure of even having a radio, my back up cam glitches and sometimes just freezes for hours.....i could be 200 miles from home and my camera shows me still backing out of my yard....(Really weird)...and theres this crazy irritating vibration sound (feel like its gonna blow an eardrum) the windows make on the 2nd row when only 2 windows are down, so i have to wind down all 4 Windows EVENLY to avoid hearing/feeling that awkward vibrating noise. After 5 years, my motor and a few other mechanical issues starting going out on the car, as just as I was trying to figure out WHY!!!, there was a recall it and it eventually got repaired for FREE! So no out of pocket costs other than being stranded for almost a month....and having to pay other people to get my kids to their doctors visits, school, go grocery shopping, etc. IF i had to do this again, id choose better interior options and it would NOT be a KIA SORENTO!

We purchased our 2013 Kia as my wife was looking for a mid-sized SUV. We looked at Honda,Nissan and several other but for the price range we wanted to stay in the Kia Sorento was by far the most stylish and offered the best standard features and Warrenty.
