Replying to: steve_ (Nov 06, 2009 9:13 am) Thanks for the link, Steve. I just became aware of this sweet CUV last week. Not much info online, and this is welcome. And me with a lease that runs out Feb 3rd ! Nice timing, Kia. And a 4-cyl / stick shift combo to boot...

Replying to: cpetrovic (Jun 03, 2009 10:51 pm) Has your offer expired? Just bought the teenager a 2006 EX. He's actually rediscovered a thing called "excitement". Thanking you in advance, and/or thanks for the warning about cd manuals. sydbarringeratlycos.com Replies to this message: cpetrovic (Nov 07, 2009 1:00 pm)

#4004 of 4010 Transmission issue by nebula30 Nov 13, 2009 (4:58 pm)
I have a 2007 EX Sorento with about 20,000 miles on it...I bought it new with just 40 miles on it in Feb. of '08......It's been a good vehicle overall, but I have been noticing that when driving down the road and then slowing down without taking your foot completely off the accelerator, it will start bucking....I am pretty sure it's that it's not downshifting properly until you completely back off the throttle...I wonder if this is a bad speed sensor in the tranny and can be fixed, or is it just a design flaw??...it can be annoying sometimes and if I were to let someone else drive it, I'm not sure they'd know what that bucking means and possibly do a lot of damage to the transmission....does anyone know if Kia has issued a TSB for that problem??.......   The dealership did the two recalls..one for the tailight and the other one for the passenger air bag light staying on even though you have a passenger in the seat......the only other problem I've detected is that one two occasions, the TPMS(tire pressure monitoring system) light has come on while driving down the road needlessly since a check of the air pressure showed no loss of air in any of the tires....the Tranny problem is something I'd like to get fixed if possible.....

Replying to: nebula30 (Nov 13, 2009 4:58 pm) We have a 2008 kia sorento with the exact same problems that you are having. We had it into the dealer twice for the bucking; and they say 'nothing is wrong' with it. Also, our TPMS light concern has been in twice and they have changed a couple of things but again 'nothing is wrong'. We have come to the conclusion that we are going to just live with these two concerns. This is our 2nd Kia and we plan to only keep it for 5 years and then trade it in on a different make. No more kia's for us. And yes, we still are having problems with the passenger airbag light. SO, as you can see, it looks like some of the sorento's are just plain problems. We have only had ours for 1 year and I feel like we have had it for 10 years with all the times it has been into the dealer. good luck in getting anything fixed.

Replying to: 2008kiasorento (Nov 15, 2009 1:42 pm) I know the problem is just that the transmission isn't downshifting when it needs to according to the lower speed....there is probably a sensor of some kind that is supposed to take care of that.....or else, it's just a major engine/tranny design flaw and if so, I highly doubt that Kia would ever admit to it.....it'll work just fine if you take your foot completely off the accelerator, but you shouldn't have to do that on a brand new vehicle.....8-(.....otherwise, the other problems have not been a real problem yet...more an occasional nuisance....

I'm sure you've heard this question a thousand times, but where do you get a repair manual for a 20032 Kia Sorrento, or can you go online? Replies to this message: tidester (Nov 16, 2009 10:02 pm)
