I just brought an 06 Kia Sorento on Feb. 29th and on March 1st, while in a busy parking lot, the transmission stuck - the car (a manual transmission) would not shift into any gears - not even neutral. The car would not even stay on - it would just shut off no matter what gear I had it in. It was almost impossible to push the vehicle so that we could get it out of traffic. The car gave no indication that anything was wrong, it just froze in the middle of traffic. I had my three children in the car with me and I am scared to drive this vehicle again. Of course the dealership is trying to make a case for themselves by stating that I may not have known how to drive a manual transmission but that is totally bogus and has nothing to do with what's wrong with the vehicle. I look forward to any updates regarding your situation.

Finally, someone else with the same problem. It has happened to me 5 times total so far. I have taken it into Kia 3 times, they just say the only way they can tell what is wrong is to bring it in when it is doing it. If it happens to you again. try putting it in 5th gear, really ride the clutch and slowing give it gas. Mine only needs to go a few feet and it will start shifting properly again. hasn't happened to be for a couple of months now (knock on wood), but if it does I intend to sit right where I am and call a tow truck!!!! Good luck, let me know if you find out anything, I'll do the same.

2005 Kia Sorento LX

I purchased my Kia in Dec. 07. Well the problems that I have been having have been minor but annoying. The check engine light has stayed on constantly, I got a diagnostic check done on it and was told that there is insufficient activity from the oxygen sensor 1 and the voltage sensor in the evaporative emmision control system is too low for the current engine operating conditions. I have no other choice but to place the vehicle in the shop. It also started making this beeping sound while I am in motion (once I stop the beeping stops) usually the only time I hear that sound is when the hatch is not closed properly or when I am extremely low on fueld (full to the brim). Can someone please tell me if they have had any similar problems like mine?

I have a 2005 EX 4x4 Sorento. I drive in Auto and lately on start-up, it's been putting itself in 4 wheel Low. It's like the light check system just leaves that light on & tells itself to switch into Low. BTW the dial is still on Auto. HELP!!! One dealer couldn't make it happen & gave up. the other wnts me to leave my Sorento there for 4 days. there are out of their gourds! It takes a little while, but by playing around & turning it off & then on again ro startng & re-starting the truck, I can usually get it out.
