You are in the Kia Sorento Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
I have a 2005 Kia Sorento EX I recently purchased the vechile with 6800 miles on dealer demo. During the Purchase they told be the vechile had a sticky ignition switch with the key. On certain time after you put the vechile in park and turn off the key the key only will stop a the accessory position you cannot turn the key complete off or remove it.  So i took the vechile in they replace the switch as so as i get it home it still does the same thing does not tuen off. I have try to turn the steering wheel does not work. The only way to get it out is to crank the vechile up again put it in rev and the back to drive. I thinking the key switch might have a shifter adjustment need? any ideas?

not being able to remove the key from the ignition....there was the service bulliten on this about enlarging the adjustment slot for the shifter cable, you can replace all the key switches in the world and it will not fix the problem, why don't kia service depts read their own service bullitens |

Replying to: uae (Apr 29, 2006 12:10 pm)  I have a 2003 Sorento EX,I had the first pully come off at 60,000 miles, it was in the shop for 3 weeks. Now at 77,000 miles the pully bolt broke off, the crank broke in half driving the pistons into the cylinder head, I am now on week 4 + in the shop (fortunately I have a warranty to 100,000 miles) as soon as I have this thing  back from the shop I am dumping it. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hadn't heard about a problem with the crankshaft pulley until a bolt on mine broke, and I found this site. First indication of a problem was the battery and brake light coming on, on the dash, when the the AC was turned on. Turn off the AC, the lights went out. By the time I got home the power steering would periodically fail, and I just made it into the driveway. Had it towed to dealer. The fix was to replace the entire motor, as it appears that the entire valve train was affected by the failure of the bolt. My 2005 KIA Sorento only has 15000 miles on it.
