How reliable is the recent Sorento 2006? I am considering buying light SUV. I might get Sorento 2007. Does sorento have major mechanical problems such as transmission, power steering, engine failure?

it came upon the two year mark for our sorento (a very bumpy road so to speak) so i drove to the closest Kia dealer, Alexander Kia in Williamsport Pa. 99.9 miles away, but only 4 traffic lights and 3 stop signs, LOL ! the antifreeze flush and fill was $29.98 labor (1/2 labor $60 hour rate) and $11.76 for antifreeze (the green stuff) plus tax they also fixed the center dome light problem (diode problem) warrenty while i was there i also purchased some extra engine oil filters and drain plug gasgets (real Kia ones) about the drain plug gasgets the "MORONS" at Burlington Kia in N.j. sold me after marked drain plug gasgets that were crap poorly made and kept leaking DON'T ever go there or you will be sorry !! total time at the Alaxander Kia was 1 hr 10 min and they even wanted to wash my sorento free ! big thumbs up for Alaxander Kia ! the same service in N.J. would have cost an arm and a leg ! and would not have been done properly |

Power or MPG? "Well, the answer is with each new generation of engine we produce we increase the horsepower and the fuel economy - you CAN have both. Just look at what we did with the latest 3.8 that we put in the Sedona, Sorento and the Amanti." Building the Kia Brand in the US |

I have an 05 Sorento which I have had repeated issues with. At 9 mths old, headlights, fog lights, tail lights and interior lights were burning out continuously at different times. It has been to the dealer 9 times in the last 14 mths for light issues. I have had the front rotors replaced 3 times since April 06, back rotors have been "cut" once and now need replaced completely. I also now am losing 40 to 60 miles per tank of gas!!! I also have a few interior lights that the dealer is trying to tell me are not supposed to light up? Is anyone else having these issues?
