Replying to: lok888 (Jun 14, 2006 12:56 pm) I brought it in and they tested the indicator/guage, and it was servicable. The only other thing in the system is the sensing unit. It is underneath the back seats, and not hard to get at at all. I think my local shop took 1 or 1.5 hours to do the repair!! Keep going back and telling them about it, don't let them convince you that its from parking on a hilll or anything! IT IS an issue, and it needs to be fixed! Cheers, Brent

Can't remember which two buttons to push to go between the C and F on the auto climate control unit in my '03 Sorento. Could not find it in the Owner's Manual, anyone know the trick?

A certain KIA dealer in Escondido Ca. made me wait 5 hours then told me the electrical technician was not there and I would have to bring my Sorento back.After I raised hell then they said we will see if the alarm guy can look at it.In 30 minutes a diode was replaced and it was fixed. I told them about the diode when I logged in at the desk. Thanks to the internet I learned about the common problem. I am always amazed at incompetence in civilian life as I am prior career military.Whatever happened to customer service? |

Replying to: phoenixrider (Jun 27, 2005 10:58 am)   I have had the same problem twice! The first time at 68K miles, the bolt just worked its way loose and fell out and the pulley went flying. The second time at 77K miles, the bolt sheared off-I was in a left hand turn lane stopped!!!!!!!!--I am in a battle of who is going to pay for repairing this--I believe there is a problem with the crankshaft out of balance and no matter what you do with a single bolt, it will shear off.

I was just wondering what the "signs" were - if any - that something was wrong before the crankshaft broke. I just bought a 2004 Sorento, which I love. However, while at the dealer, having my remote entry programmed, one of the service dept. guys mentioned that one of the Sorentos hanging around the lot was there for crankshaft replacement. He said that they were the major trouble with the model, and either they can get them replaced or have ot put in a whole new engine. Have there been no recalls for this problem? I am having no trouble right now, but am hoping to nothave this happen to mine. Also, wondering if anyone has had rusting underneath sooner than one would expect. Thanks, new Kia owner.
