I bought the car brand new and in 9-months have already had to replace the transmission and the air conditioning system. To make matters worse Kia didn't even give me a new transmission they gave me a refurbished one. I will NEVER buy another Kia and will go back to Honda. The car looks beautiful and three rows is great but mechanically it is a total piece of junk.

Ditto...transmission issues…service

My 2021 Kia Sorento with 10,000 miles is back at the dealer for service for the second time for the same issue: engine light comes on, car is sluggish to accelerate or go into gear. First time in they said it was a misfire but they couldn't repeat it and sent me home. Two weeks later same issue. This time, after a week, they tell me they think its a fuel line issue and have to order a part. A week later now they tell me the part is on back order and it won't be here for another month. Yes, they gave me a loaner but the car is not the equivalent to my Sorento. I should be happy right, not good enough...I'm leaving for vacation on an 8 hour drive with 4 family members with a small 4 door sedan. Dealership tells me they have 26 loaners and all are out. Not saying much for Kia cars. Opened a ticket with Kia Corporate who says they will not reimburse for an equivalent vehicle only a Kia SUV at $44/day. Where do you find an SUV for $44/day? Seriously! NOT GOOD KIA!!

Kia Sorento Prestige X-Line SX Prestige LEMON!!

I ordered my Sorento got it in October 2022. I loved the features and how it drove. Next day I went to drive it to work and noticed there were oil drips. I called Kia and said I needed to make an appointment and they said not to worry it was probably just because the car was new and to give it a week or so to burn off the coating. To make a long story short the car leaked oil from day one. It has been in to find the leak for over a year! Each time promising me that the leak was fixed only to have to return because it wasn’t fixed! So after a year of taking it in and I kept complaining that it wasn’t fixed. They found the leak it was the rear seal. So I took it in for them to fix the seal. After two days at the dealership they called to tell me they found another leak coming from the transmission!! So now it’s still in the shop and they won’t give me a new car instead a new transmission but don’t know when it will come in. What a joke! Find another dealer and DO NOT BUY A KIA!!

56,000 miles and counting and I still love my 2022 Kia!!! I travel on I-95 a lot. And this beautiful SUV keeps me rolling. It’s stunning to look at and enjoyable to drive. The many features (technology) are the best! I absolutely loved it in 2022 and still love it in 2024!!!! Previous Review: I bought my first Sorento (SX) in 2012. A few weeks ago, with180,000 miles and still going strong, I gave it to my son-in-law. After leasing a 2021 Seltos, I realized it just didn't provide the family comfort needed for long road travel. So back to Kia I went...and I ended up with my Grey Wolf Kia Sorento S. It is absolutely stunning to look at, and the feel of it is wonderfully comfortable. The technology is, in my view some of the best I have enjoyed over the years of renting cars while traveling. And it has perks that the Lexus GX 460 doesn't have (not that I am comparing). Bottom line.... I love, love, love it. I find reasons to get in it and drive. As noted, I'm a bit older than most, but at this moment...I am a Kia Kid :)!!!

So far I love everything about my Sorento, so many bells and whistles I have yet to explore! I love how it handles and rides so smooth and quiet. It feels very safe, spacious and comfortable. Definitely feels like a high end car should, but at an average affordable price.
