| Once again having continued problems with my 05 kia sorento. Tried to get rid of it last year but due to only being offered 3k for it I decided to keep it thru this winter. Not sure right choice but anyway. can anyone tell me if there is a place to buy kia parts cheap instead of thru dealor. dont want new expensive parts on a car that is worth nothing. My wiper arms do not sit on the windshield. Last year had it fix but only after it blew the motor that was already replaced twice. now they are telliing me i need new wiper arms. someone mentioned going to a junk yard which i will try but if unsuccessful i was hoping to find other places to try and also wondering if ANYONE else had this isssue and if it is the wiper arms itself or another problems. i have been dealing and paying for this issue for 2 yrs. also just had all belts replace and now they are telling me the belts are junk (at another mechanic i trust obviously not a kia dealor) and i need to replace them (not the timing belt). they squelled ever since they were put on about 3 months ago. any help extremely thankful. renee | |

Replying to: pao (Jan 19, 2009 4:41 am) as for belts, I asked specifically what was wrong with them frayed,etc they told me they are just cheap parts and they are going to squeal (bought at advanced auto but kia put them on). Just doesnt sound right but I dont know enough about cars. All I know is ever since they were put on they squealled. thanks for suggestion for rockauto.com!! god knows I put enough money into this vehicle already. thanks again |

Replying to: frustrated2 (Jan 19, 2009 7:34 am) as far as wiper arms....so the blade itself doesnt make contact with the windshield.....uuuuummm should be some sort of adjustment...not sure......will have to look at mine.....unless the motor was installed incorrectly ....or the arm is simply bend....there shouldnt be a problem... |

I've got about 37000 miles...occasionally a burnt out bulb....changed oil regularly...sometimes by myself...suspect I need new disc pads....car jerks a little when stopping....should I do the 30,000 checkup and hope for the best moneywise from the dealer or can I replace them myself? Do I void all warranties if I do that?

EX model..with 114K on it...no major issues with the vehicle...other than the intense scheduled maintenace requirements...and short interval between major services..all services done to include timing belt etc......only part to go bad so far was an O2 sensor..and he infamous coolant reservoir bottle engine hesitants under heavy acceleration....comes from the drives side of the engine..almost like a misfire...but its a loud thump instead.....once the sorie is up to speed, it doesnt thump.....again....but when going from a complete stop...or when trying to pass...the engine hesitates........coil...bad plug, valve issue??? any suggestions......I have no check engine light either....

My Sorento is just four years old with under 33,000 miles. It has seen light duty and no off road miles because the engine light is a continual bother. I don't think that I've driven 1,000 miles without the check engine light warning me about something. There have been times when I've been on the road and I've ignored the light when it has come on, but I've kept my eye on the temp gauge to watch for any overheating. None of these warnings have been about anything, "important." That is to say, no hose, nor belt nor anything other than bothersome DEQ equipment failure which leads to hours of diagnosis by the shop. All of this has been handled under the warranty, but no transportation has been provided for me except when the shop forgot to reinstall my oil dipstick, after an oil and filter change, and they delivered it to my address. I would not purchase another Sorento and wished I'd gotten a Honda or Subaru in the first place. Anyone else having "check engine light fever?"  DEN
