#905 of 1991 Re: Dry door hinges [lok888] by jd97 Sep 08, 2004 (8:00 am)
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.
#912 of 1991 Re: Seat belt warning on Sorento 2004 [farru21] by lok888 Sep 09, 2004 (11:13 am)
Replying to: farru21 (Sep 08, 2004 10:20 pm) I checked out the seat belt warning section on the 2003 Sorento Technical Highlights (available from Kia website). It said "The chime will sounds if the seat belt is not connected while starting the engine and if the seat belt is disconnected while the engine is running." I do the both very often and don't hear the chime.

Replying to: ds423 (Sep 08, 2004 4:40 pm) My problem with the rough idle only happens after 15 hours. See if your problem has the same time frame and if it does tell the dealer it only happens after sitting that long. Mine is at the shop right now and has been there for 4 days. I'll keep you posted.

#914 of 1991 Re: Howling noise/vibration at 65 mph Please HELP [lok888] by tadpole Sep 13, 2004 (5:05 am)
Replying to: lok888 (Aug 09, 2004 6:21 am) While you might save 2-3g's by buying a demo the fact remains that the cars go home with a different dealer rep every weekend and who really knows what they get up too ?? I looked at one demo,a 2004ex 4x4 at my local and the thing was pissing rear diff oil all over the place (pinion seal). I noticed this after the rep had assured me that it was his own personal after hours drive and that the car was 100% ok.Why then did'nt he notice all the oil on his driveway where said rig was parked ?
