Used 2014 Kia Sorento EX 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews

Love love love the Sorento

Comfortable and looks great. I love the interior. The controls are very easy to use. Fuel mileage isn't the best but using higher grade fuel I notice I get better fuel mileage. The pick up once fuel pedal is pressed is awesome.this car " gets on it " fast. VERY comfortable and quite ride. My car is loaded with all the features. Sound system is far above normal .

Cannot see Speedometer needle in bright light

My 2012 Sorento was great so I traded to 2014 when time came. The auto dim feature of the instrument cluster makes it difficult and at times impossible to see speedometer needle. Kia says it is "working as designed" "Kia cannot help you" It is bright with no problems at night/in garage and on cloud/stormy days. Since design features are not covered by warranty Kia America refuses to address the matter. 7 others have filed same complaint with National Safety Board. I must get rid of the car before i have an accident while trying to locate my speed. Also window shade rattles "no adjustment can be made". Will be my last Kia. Update: Unfortunately I still have the car but have saved enough to get an end of season 2016 or early 2017 of something other than KIA. KIA claims there are no sensors for the speedometer needle. However, wrapping the entire cluster panel leaving only a tiny hole to observe shows there to be a sensor somewhere but I am unable to find it. It is not a reflection issue. The car is unsafe to drive as I cannot see the speedometer needle on bright or sunny days. In my opinion KIA is very unresponsive and not customer friendly. Update2 Unfortunately still have car ... issues have not changed.... finally have saved up enough for a 2017 and currently am car shopping...looks like I may go with Toyota. Update 3...Finally got rid of car...got a Toyota Highlander that I have no problem with reading the speedometer. It is unfortunate that Kia chose not to address the issue and very very customer unfriendly. Would not even acknowledge that there was a sensor controlling the needle. Had to be one as the brightness changed going in and out of garage......but I could not locate it. Feel much safer in my new vehicle.

Beware

Had numerous problems over the years: transmission replaced, back up screen replaced, unable to locate source of battery drain - replaced battery twice in one year, still needs jump start intermittently.
