#907 of 1991 Re: rough idle after start up [stz24] by ds423 Sep 08, 2004 (4:40 pm)
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.

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 ?
#915 of 1991 2005 spec Sorento's available in Australia by tadpole Sep 13, 2004 (5:45 am)
I have a Sorento on order and it is a 2005 spec 2004 compliance 4x4ex.Most of you are obviously from the states but i have not seen much discussion on the 2005 spec Sorento's and any problems associated like with the earlier models. All I know is that they have a different chrome trim above the rear number plate and a bit better stereo system.Everything else is the same as previous models or have they taken the bull by its horns and fixed all the little problems that are reacurring with previous Sorentos ?I plan to drop all the oils at 5000 klm's and by doing this may eliminate some of the problems found with the drivetrain problems in others ? Any info on any internal changes Kia may have made to the 2005 spec rigs would be appreciated.   Cheers Bigears
#916 of 1991 Re: remove rear seats [oldrocker] by tadpole Sep 14, 2004 (12:40 am)
Replying to: oldrocker (Jul 01, 2004 11:30 am) If its a bolt and not a nut you are talking about try a couple of sharp blows on the head of said bolt with a hammer prior to undoing. If your socket set is old and worn get a new one asap or risk rounding off the hex heads.Spray the bolts with penetrant first and also spray the thred that is more than likely exposed under the body.These type of seat bolts are usually exposed beneath the floor to the outside.If you can see the thred of the bolt,attempt to wire brush it first. Hope this helps cheif...
