#1981 of 1990 Re: Engine cutting out on sorento (diesel) Scary!!!!! [portmerion] by legs20 Sep 28, 2009 (1:32 pm)
Replying to: portmerion (Apr 25, 2006 2:21 pm) Hi, I've had my 2006 Sorento since new and over the past few months had 2 very scary moments with it both times on a dual carriage way where it has decided enough is enough and cut off. Tomorrow I am taking it back to the dealer to get it looked at as I am now a bit nervy driving it, which really is not handy when I drive on average 500 miles a week. Really like my car and up until the last few months have not had a complaint with it but this is a big complaint. I feel a bit more at ease knowing it is not just mine and it could be a fault. Anything I find out I'll be sure to put up for you all.
#1982 of 1990 Gas Gauge goes up and down by jadzia007 Oct 09, 2009 (7:10 am)
This has been happening for about six months, but not all the time. Sometimes while driving, or idling, the gas gauge will go down to E, the light will come on, then it eventually goes back up to where it should be. In several instances I just filled up a day or two before, so I know there is enough in the tank. A few times it happened when it could have been empty (though I doubt, that empty as I have a regular schedule of fillups for the most part)   Any thoughts on what this might be? I don't know if there is a float gauge in the tank, or if it could be the fuel pump? BTW 2003 sorento..106K miles or so.   Thanks

Replying to: zorento (Sep 10, 2009 7:45 am) Can you please provide more information around the foam sound installation? Did the Kia Dealer do this or elsewhere? I'd be interested at having this done as I cannot stand the noise during acceleration! Replies to this message: zorento (Nov 07, 2009 4:24 pm)

Replying to: brucey1 (Sep 27, 2009 5:43 am) you referring to the timing belt..(which is internal...you wouldnt see it) or the surpentine belts..Im thinking the later.....dont know the schedule maintenance on the 04.....my 03 sorie.....required the timing belt to be replaced at 60k to maintain the warranty...... I had a engine light come on on first Sorie..that was never corrected and finally traded it back to the dealer as a lemon......it was new with 120 miles on it however....

#1986 of 1990 Re: Vibration when brake [abu_leqa] by luvstuff Oct 28, 2009 (5:58 am)
Replying to: abu_leqa (Sep 06, 2009 9:21 am) I recently had the same problem with my 2006 Sorento. The dealer "packed" the driveshaft, or the u-joint, and the problem has disappeared. Might have your dealer check it out. Replies to this message: abu_leqa (Oct 28, 2009 9:01 pm)
#1987 of 1990 Re: Vibration when brake [luvstuff] by abu_leqa Oct 28, 2009 (9:01 pm)
Replying to: luvstuff (Oct 28, 2009 5:58 am) The problem come from using different type of brake pads it was for Hyundai. because the car imported from USA and now it is in UAE and the brake pads are not available for Kia Sorento. Finally I used brake pads of Kia Operas which is solved the problem

Replying to: db0123 (Oct 20, 2009 11:49 am) My apologies for the late reply. The foam insulation was done at the dealers. It's still working as advertised.
#1989 of 1990 Kia Sorento Transfer Case by ninpo1 Nov 20, 2009 (10:24 am)
Hi! I was wondering if anybody could tell me how difficult it would be to install a new transfer case in a 2004 sorento. I am mechanically inclined although not a mechanic. Thanks Replies to this message: pao (Nov 20, 2009 5:31 pm)

Replying to: ninpo1 (Nov 20, 2009 10:24 am) front or rear?..either way you will have to drop the drive shaft....not sure what else is needed.....had the front transfer case in my 03 rebuilt...but had a mechanic do it
