Hi all, I had no major problems since I have my Sorento. But now, since some weeks, I have 2 problems. 1- When on Defrost, my windshield cracks! Anyone have an idea of what causes this ??! 2- My brake pedal do some noise (sometime, not always), which I didn't have before. It's when I brake hard arriving at a stop and then release the brake pedal that I hear that sound/noise. If anyone have/had these problems, please let me know.

[quote]I have no problem with the windshield. Do you have any damage prior to the cracks?[/quote] Hi Lok.. What do you mean by damages ? My winter accident ? [quote]I think I noticed the noise lately, not always. When I was at the light, I could hear the noise when I press and release the brake before taking off.[/quote] Exactly. It's the problem that I have. Anyone else ? Mine has about 9000 miles. I do mostly city driving.

About the windshield cracking... don't seem to be the windshield. hciaffa Sep 8, 2003 12:33pm!keywords=allin:msgtext%20limit:Kia:Sorento%20windshield In 2003, there was no fix. Hope Kia found a fix in 2004. I will need to talk to my dealer about this issue. |

Replying to: slan_canada (Aug 03, 2004 7:19 am) I do hear some tiny cracking sound when A/C is in defrost mode. Sometime is hard to hear due to the surrounding, car noise or traffic. Some posters have mentioned this before, but I can't think of any fix for this. |

| Slan we hear the same noise but most of the time its in the winter. I don't think it is the glass but more so the duct work or the palstic vents by the windshield as it expands and contracts. I have tried to pin point the sound and it seems to come from within the dash and it almost always happen when the defroster is on. In the summer we hear nothing. As of yet there is no service bulletin as not many owners have complained. From the forums here and at the other Sorento forum I beleive only one person has had the glass changed out and she never reported on it. | |

hciaffa ... you are all right. I visited my dealer yesterday. There are no service bulletin. They heard the sound but suggested me to wait until winter to check more at it. As for my break pedal noise, they put some lubricants. Hope it will helps.

Replying to: slan_canada (Aug 05, 2004 12:53 pm) Any EX owners - Are the tilt-adjustable headrests only move when the headrests are in rest position? Both front headrests on my EX can't adjust when they are in up position, only in rest (down) position. |

| hciaffa... yes, it helped a lot. I hear the noise less frequently now. Hope it will get better with time. | |
