#3919 of 4003 Kia Sorrento - seen many with same dent in tailgate by cfr2 Jan 30, 2008 (11:41 am)
2005 Kia Sorrento - shortly after purchasing my brand new Kia Sorrento, I noticed a dent on the tailgate, right side, just above crease where license plate area is. There was not scratch or scuff marks to indicate that something had "bumped" the area, but at the time I thought that's what happened. Now, I have noticed many Kia Sorrento's with the same dent, in the same place. Has anyone else seen this? Please reply, because if so I would like to get this repaired under warranty . . . it does seem to be on many vehicles. Thanks. Replies to this message: mhaber (Oct 26, 2009 4:53 pm)
#3922 of 4003 Buying a 2003 Sorento EX 43,000 miles - Need opinions by a027418 Feb 02, 2008 (1:00 pm)
Hello. Been reading all of your useful information today. I'm thinking of buy a 2003 EX Sorento here in Massachusetts. I opened the back doors and sure enough there were those rusted panels attached to the bottom of the doors. The Vehicle still is under the 6 year 50k mile warranty. Is this problem covered under that warranty? If not, what are my alternatives and costs to repair this issue. Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: taomerni (Feb 02, 2008 7:27 pm)

Replying to: a027418 (Feb 02, 2008 1:00 pm) Mine was covered under the warranty , but I have a good dealer ... You gotta talk nice to them , Maybe even print out this forum that it is a problem noted on the internet , and ask then if they will repair it .. ,They just sand it down , Paint it , and change the bolts so it isn't bi-metal corrosion causing it ... It's on the inside so nobody notices it .. But I am picky on my vehicles .. everything MUST work .. I am out of warranty as of November and we had our FIRST mechanical problem with the vehicle .. The outer RIGHT front drive axle seal was leaking ... I didn't want to drive it 80 miles to the dealer with the differential leaking ,, I had a Horrendous time ordering the seal ,, we ended up with 2 WRONG seals ,, But when all was said and done I was out a vehicle at MY mechanics for a week for a $4.25 seal and 131 dollars labor to fix it .. Overrall .. You will LOVE the vehicle .. People always ask me about our Sorento ,,, When we first got it we were of of 2 in our city with one ,, Now we see them daily , They are a popular fun to drive SUV

#3925 of 4003 clutch problems by gill5 Mar 31, 2008 (4:29 am)
My 2004 Sorento XS has a burnt out clutch - as a newbie to this forum I was wondering if this is a common fault. The car is used to tow a horse trailer - would this add too much stress to the vehicle. I was advised that it could tow 2.8 tonne and my total tow payload was approximately 2 tonne. The clutch burnt whilst reversing the trailer. The car is driveable - going to garage tomorrow. I am UK based, thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

#3926 of 4003 Re: 2007 Sorento Radio Problem [zcatmouse] by davisaz Apr 01, 2008 (4:59 pm)
Replying to: zcatmouse (Jan 17, 2008 9:08 pm) Hi. I just purchased a 2007 Sorento EX in January and I am also having issues with the radio volume fading out. I had them replace the radio, but still have the same issues. It only has issues with the radio stations. When I play a CD the volume is fine. Have you found out the problem with your radio? Thanks.

Replying to: gill5 (Mar 31, 2008 4:29 am) Car been to garage and is OK. Presumably I was slipping the clutch as I reversed uphill and over cooked it! Wont do it again I shall unload the horses first before moving the trailer in adverse conditions.
