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.

I do not know if you still need this info but, I pulled my rotors about a year ago on my '03 Sorento and you do not need to remove anything other than the caliper. It took some work to get the rotor off but it will eventually come off over the wheel hub. Also there are two small set screws that you have to take off once the caliper is off, be careful they strip very easily. I had to pound on the back of the rotor to get it to come off, between the rust and the heat they were on there pretty good. I had my rotors cut/resurfaced and now the are in need again. make sure you change the brakes when you put the rotors back on. I think think the brakes are too hard for the rotor.

I need new rotors. Is the dealer the only place I can get them? I checked with the local parts stores with no luck and I have looked on line with no luck. Is the dealer the only place to buy?

I bought my Sorrento used with 38K miles and it needed
rotors turned which the dealer did free.Now 10k later
it might need it again.This is not just KIA with this problem.My previous car an 01 Acura had lot's of problem
with warped rotors.How many times can the rotors be turned
before replacing them?
