I have an 03 that has had the vibration at 70 mph . 68 was good and over 72 , but at 70 it vibrated on a trip this summer . I do not know if it still does it, as we don't hit the highway to often with our Sorento . At 55 we get 22 mpg ... at 70 we get like 18 .

Mine is very smooth until I hit that 2500 rpm mark. Then the vibration can really be felt through the foot pedal and stearing wheel. It feels normal again once the rpm go past 3000 or the next gear kicks in. This vibration can be felt in each gear even at slow speeds. On the highway, once my speed is over 75, its very smooth with absolutely no vibration. The service manager thought the vibration was caused by part of the exhaust being rusted through. He even replaced most of it under warranty but it made no difference in the end. I'm going in to see a kia tech. on wednesday. Hope he can help.

Prices paid for 2007

I do not see any recent posts for prices on the 2007 Sorento. I'm considering for a 2007 4x4 EX with the luxury package. MSRP including destination looks like $29,865.
There is a $2000 rebate good thru the end of April and a $1000 competitor discount good thru 4/2 although I don't know if this will be extended.
I like to get one for $25k using the $3k rebate/discount. is this realistic? Somebody give me some recent numbers please.

That's kind of surprising. I dropped a pebble in the pond to see if anything happens. Sometimes people are reluctant to post a message if a topic has been quiet for a while.

Your NOT cheap your FRUGAL:).... In answer to your question, I haven't heard anything myself to date. So, as a rule of thumb, take whatever the rebates are, marketing monies, etc. and subtract from the invoice $$$ and you have your price you should be paying. I don't think the new 07's are selling any better or worse than previous years due to a few problems of previous years Sorentos. ie flywheels flying ( breaking bolts), electrical problems to name some more prominent issues they have had in the past up to 05' that I know of through posts on this website and others. I hope this will help....good luck

Could someone in this forum help me to obtain a Kia Mohave brochure or a PDF file in Korean language? I understand that the Mohave/Borrego will be sold in Korea from January 2008 and I assume that such a brochure or PDF file will be readily available to Korean customers. Help highly appreciated.

Hi - looking for some direction on tightening the 3 drive belts on an '03 Sorento. I can only find tensioners on 2 of the belts. The belt at the lower part of the engine does not seem to be adjustable - am I blind?
