Help, I need to verify how the driver side leather seat was assembled at the factory. Since 04 Sorento's w/ Luxuary package were a hot item, it's hard to find one locally, individually or dealer owned. If you're in the back seat, there's a panel the has two plastic hooks on the top and two metal tabs that attach to a metal rod at the bottom to secure it. I'm having issues with a repair and need pictures for verification right away, please send pictures verifing the date, year and model. Thank you. (brit1brit aol.com)

I have a 2003 Kia Sorento which is leaking coolant , It seems to be coming from under the coolant tank . I have checked all the other hoses connections and they seems OK . I've filled up the coolant tank on serval occassions only to find it has leaked out . I recently noticed coolant leaking out from under the coolant tank and wondered if it was the problem . I spoke to a work shop work mech and he said sometimes it was deceiving , but I can't see any other leaks anywhere . Could you please give me some advice as I just don't want to get ripped off with extra charges etc. Cheers , Carey

Replying to: pao (Aug 12, 2008 10:55 am) Thank you for your message . Having looked up the forum , I took the vechile to my local center who then gave it a pressure test . Low and behold , coolant was coming out of the bottom of the tank. In Australia where I live the price of the tank was $201 (90cents $1US ) which I thought was a high price to pay , but I ended up buying one and installing it myself . I think I might of caught it in time as I nearly cooked my goose lol . I really feel for some of the guys in the forum and the problems they have had . The only other problem I had was with the cam bolt which was no big deal as they replaced it as soon as I got to the service center . Apart from that my truck has done quite a few miles up and down and across Australia , Cheers , Carey

I have had the worst experience with KIA. My car has been towed in three times in the past 5 months. This car is the worst car I have ever driven period. Bought it because of the slick sells mans pitch about 10 yr 100k miles. Buyer beware!! Not true. KIA headquarters is NO help what so ever!! Local dealership thinks its okay if my car is going 70 to 75 mph and then suddenly downshifts and brings the car to 45mph .. not to mention that this happens with no sign of braking what so ever. Had car towed in twice this week. First time was car not shifting into reverse, picked it up from the shop only to have the check engine light going on and off = just on my way home. Experience the sudden down shifting - call for a tow- and dealership says they have no clue whats wrong- they must have no heart to send me and my infant daughter and toddler son home in this car. Advised me that the problem must have corrected its self- this is after the latest recall was fixed.. I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed something up when doing the service. Don't trust your local KIA dealership with anything, and as for the warranty its not worth the paper its written on. So I am left with the car that is a ticking time bomb. What am I to do? The dealership leaves me stranded for a entire week with no car, only to tell me that it must be something with my driving- I can't trust this car, not with my children in it. I don't trust that the car behind me would be able to see that I am decreasing in speed if this happens again- and I would hope that the car wasn't a 18 wheeler!!! I had it checked and cleared with the dealership so they say nothing at all is wrong with the car- so tomorrow first thing I am going to trade this POS and get a honda

I really like my new o8 Sorento. What is the problem with your radio? I can't find much going wrong with this vehicle at all in any forums so I guess it is a good buy for me. Is there anything that I should know a head of time in your opinion? Do you like your Sorento?
