I have the same trouble with my 04 sorento. My dealer thought I was nuts, and he gave me some lame excuse like it could be the spark plugs kia uses, champion. But he couldn't do nothing about it unless it did it for him. Problem with that is it only does it like once a month, if that.

My Sorento goes in Tuesday for the rough idle after start up. I will let you know what I find out. My problem only occurs when it sits for more than 15 hours. It starts fine,idles good for about 5 to 10 seconds then it almost stalls then goes back to idling fine.

I was wondering if you ever got a response on removing the ashtray? I have a coin stuck behind mine and it will not close. If you have the answer, feel free to e-mail me at tauglian twcny.rr.com

I had a simular problem with my 2004, I just got it out of the shop. Have your dealer check the carbon build up in your engine. They had to put a cleaner in my engine, let it sit over night. Then they gave it a good tune up and it runs great now. BTW I have 62000 miles on mine.

Dry door hinges

Anyone has a problem with the dry door hinges which cause noise when open and close doors? I should say the door checker assembly, between the upper and lower door hinge assembly. I bought this to my dealer's attention at least three times. They have put spray and grease for lubrication. But the problem is still here after few weeks. Any suggestion? The noise is terrible for rear passenger doors.

The dealer already did decarbon the engine and that didn't help. Thanks for the info though. They also changed the spark plugs and replaced the vacuum control.

Mine has been doing that for about a year now. I've tried a couple different sprays and grease but it just comes off. It is one of the ways KIA saved money on the vehicle. Cheap plastic hinges. It seems to be worse in the back because those doors aren't used as much and they dry out quicker. Just something we're gonna have to put up with I guess.

Sounds like I am not the only one who has the same problem. I will ask my dealer to see if they can do anything about it especially on the door checker assembly on rear doors. Yes. They look plastic to me.

I'm experiencing the same problem with my 04 Sorento. Dealer said that they can't reproduce the problem...but I'm going to take it back and not give them the key so that the next morning I can be in the car when they start it up.
Very similar problem..only occurs if the car has sat overnight and acts like its going to stall and then overaccelerates. Sometimes this will continue from reverse to first gear. Although after that its fine all day. I've been letting the car idle for a couple of minutes in the morning and that works but its annoying. Seems to be relatively common because I've seen it posted on another board. Hopefully the dealer will address this soon!!!

Seat belt warning on Sorento 2004

Hello,
Just checking, does Sorento have some warning system for driver seat belt( when taken off with engine running, not worn when engine started)
My Sorento does not do either of the above and has not since the day we got it. We just assumed that it does not have the feature. Can anyone confirm this for me.
Thanks,
Frank
