2014 Sorento - great value!

I just purchased a 2014 Sorento LX V6 AWD - What a great value! I purchased a new 2011 Sorento LX 4cyl my wife is the primary driver of. We both liked the vehicle; still have it. Had a transmission input shaft fail under warranty, but the service was top notch. The V6 is very strong, and the vehicle is very quite at all speeds. After doing a lot of research, this remains the best bet for my price point.

Dead Dead Battery!

I have a 2014 Kia Sorento SXL with 13,000 miles now. After having this car for 2 weeks go to start it and dead battery. Now 18 months later this problem has happened 7 times! Kia road service has to come out and jump it. Has been towed to dealership to check it out, told everything is fine. I'm just not driving it enough to keep it charged. Went on vacation for six days and left car at airport and came back to a dead battery. When I say dead I mean DEAD. No lights etc...at all. After 7 times and getting no where with Kia service dept. I don't know what to do other then trade it in on another make! Any help or ideas why this is happening would help.

Kia Sorento

My wife needed a new car and we wanted something that could haul 5 comfortably, and occasionally squeeze up to 2 more. Reliability was also very important. In addition, my wife loves all the little comfort features, so these were the main 2 criteria. After extensive research, I narrowed down the list to: Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Toyota Highlander. Personally, I preferred the Santa Fe, but there are way fewer of these on the market (we were looking for a late model lightly used vehicle to not take the big depreciation hit). So, it was between the Santa Fe and Highlander. I like the Highlander, but I was able to get a newer Sorento with less miles and more features.

Don't buy a Pearl White 2014 Kia Sorento

I bought my Pearl White 2014 Kia Sorento in January 2017 and really liked it. But at around 60,000 miles the paint started to peel off on the roof around the window and down the side to the hood. I was told that they would fix the problem but never received the email to finish a claim. And yesterday while driving down the highway at 80 mph, the vehicle loss power and started making a horrible racket. We got it to a dealership and have been told that they are going to replace the engine because of the warranty recall on the 2014 Kia Sorento model. I do like the vehicle but I am not paying to fix any of the problems that they knew of or have found out about.
