#902 of 1991 Re: rough idle after start up [stz24] by mamaaugie Sep 04, 2004 (11:29 am)
Replying to: stz24 (Aug 30, 2004 5:50 am) 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.

#903 of 1991 Dry door hinges by lok888 Sep 07, 2004 (7:28 am)
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. Replies to this message: jd97 (Sep 08, 2004 8:00 am) lok888 (Sep 08, 2004 11:27 am) rhiannon (Oct 23, 2004 6:33 am) lok888 (Oct 25, 2004 5:37 am)

Replying to: mamaaugie (Sep 04, 2004 11:29 am) 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. Replies to this message: ds423 (Sep 08, 2004 4:40 pm) stz24 (Sep 11, 2004 7:11 am) jhs1 (Oct 04, 2004 9:46 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: lok888 (Sep 07, 2004 7:28 am) 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. Replies to this message: lok888 (Sep 08, 2004 11:27 am) rhiannon (Oct 23, 2004 6:33 am) lok888 (Oct 25, 2004 5:37 am)

Replying to: jd97 (Sep 08, 2004 8:00 am) 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.

Replying to: stz24 (Sep 07, 2004 4:21 pm) 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!!!

#908 of 1991 Seat belt warning on Sorento 2004 by farru21 Sep 08, 2004 (10:20 pm)
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 Replies to this message: lok888 (Sep 09, 2004 7:06 am) lok888 (Sep 09, 2004 11:13 am)

Replying to: farru21 (Sep 08, 2004 10:20 pm) I don't know about the 2004 or 2005 Sorento. My 2003 Sorento has no seat belt reminder. I spoke to my dealer when I first picked my car about the seat belt warning light. It will only stay on when there is a problem with it. So the light won't be on even you don't wear the seat belt.
#910 of 1991 PLEASE HELP!! by deekay719 Sep 09, 2004 (10:19 am)
I have an 03 Sorento with problems and my dealer "can't duplicate the problem" and I was wondering if someone can help. About a week ago I went to start my car and it made the most horrible loud "clunking" noise and the oil light came on. The car wouldn't kick over. I retried it and it did start, but ran REAL rough. I only drove it a mile and shut it off and restarted and it's been running OK since..but it's still running rough. I took it to my dealer last Thursday and they can't find anything wrong. The car only has 6,800 miles on it. Should I be worried?

Replying to: johnschleifer (May 31, 2004 1:06 pm) I've got the same problem with my 03 and they told me I had to make another appointment and replace the modual.
