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?

I hope someone can help me. I have a 2003 sorento lx and everytime i try to put gas in it, it spits back out constantly like a vapor lock.this problem started right after i had my timing belt done. this is my wife's vehicle and she is sick and tired of smelling like gas when she gets to work.I try to fill it up slowly but it still spits out just about every gallon put in. I hope someone has the solution. thanks
