4WD Problem by clancy2
May 15, 2006 (10:21 am)

I have a 2004 sorento with PT 4WD. Since it has been new it has periodically gone into 4wd on its own. I have even watched the switch move into 4hi. This usually happens when making several hard turns such as when backing out of tight parking spots. This has been referred to the dealer who has never heard of the problem. The service manager contacted Kia and they also say this cannot happen. But we have watched it move of its own accord. They have replaced the switch on the dash board but it still does it. You can't get it to do it by making hard turns but when you least expect it there it goes. Has anyone else had this problem and what was the solution. I would like to get it fixed before my 5 yr warranty runs out.

let me get this right....you have part time 4WD and have watched the selector switch (the round one on the dash) move on its own? or are you seeing the dash indicator light for 4WD come on when the dash switch still says 2WD/HI ?

I have an 05 Sorento with 17,000 on it. The rotors were warped so they fixed them. Now I am getting a rubbing noise when I am at a complete stop and turn the wheel left to make a left turn the engine cuts down and hesitates and the rubbing noise. I have had it to the dealer twice and they cannot find anything wrong. It sounds like you were having the same sort of problem. Do they know what is causing this in yours?

The round selector switch on the dash is the one we have seen move on its own and when that happens the dash indicator changes to 4hi as well. Once we even had a really hard time to get it out of 4WD and back to 2WD.

05 Dome Light Failure by chrismog

Hey everybody, I read that the dome light diode had to be replaced in 03's & some 04's. I have an 05 and the dome light when set to door does not come on. It will work in the on position and when you activate the interior light switch. My sister's Sorento 05 is doing the same thing, she only has 4000 miles. Dealer said bring it in, that's fine but I havemn't been real impressed with their diagnosis of other problems. Any help?

But, you need to shift the gear to "N" and turn the knob in order to shift it into 4WD or back to 2WD. I don't think touching the knob will shift to 4WD.
