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

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.

Alarm system going crazy!

I have a 2005 Kia Sorento EX with keyless entry/alarm. At least several times a week (never does it at the dealer) the alarm will go off after driving my suv and opening the driver door. The alarm isnt even set when I'm driving so cant figure out why it would go off and I am not touching the remote on my keyring either. Last time it was in the shop they adjusted the sensor...said it was set very high so they put it at the lowest level. I am ready to have the thing removed or maybe figure out how to disconnect it myself. Anyone have this problem?

Sounds like mine. I've had it for 2 years now and in the first year we had to change the same headlight 4 times. Then within 1 month it stalled 6 times. Brought it in and they said it was the air flow intake meter and replaced it under warranty. Then within a month or so when I would start it after it sat all night it would really hesitate and almost stall out. I brought it in again and he tried to tell me it was the air flow intake meter (again) when I told him they just replaced it- he said then that's not what it is and that it needs a throttle body cleaning (never heard of such a thing). However, that is routine maintenance and isn't covered under warranty. Of course. They did that as well as adjusted a belt because it seems to squeak constantly and when it's wet out it would squeal. Now a day later- it still has a squeak (not quite as loud as before) and it's doing the same thing when it's started after sitting at night. I am so unhappy with this vehicle and it seems like I get nowhere with the dealership. What do they care they already got my money. I'm now looking to do an even trade with another dealer for a better car. Hope you have better luck with your dealer.

Low fuel warning

I noticed that warning light is on while I still have half a tank of gas on my '03 Sorento. It doesn't happen so often but few times within a month. First, I notice the fuel level went down to the last quarter. Once I park the car and the warning light was on. I brought this to the dealer once and they couldn't find anything wrong. The fuel guage was fine when I was in the shop. Any suggestion?

I don't know if this will help, but I have a 2004 lx 4wd. My 4wd high light came on and then the check engine light came on. Had it into to the dealer and was told it was a sensor problem, sensors were replaced under warranty. A few weeks later had the same problem, took it back to the dealer. They decided it was the computer module, replaced it again under warranty. A few weeks later the problem reoccured again. Took it back to the dealer again. This time was told that there was corrosion on the wiring harnesses. They were cleaned and before I even left the dealership the light was back on. It was decided that all 4 of the wiring harnesses needed to be replaced, under warranty. They found that there was a small pinhole in the lower right hand corner of the windshield and this was how moisture was getting in to the wiring harness compartment(it is located near the floor on the front passenger side). It took them 8 days to get all the wiring harnesses in my vehicle, but so far the problem has not reappeared. Maybe this is something your dealer should check for you.
