#25 of 26 Warranty question by pigdoc Oct 01, 2009 (7:03 pm)
I purchased a 2003 Kia Sorento new and have owned it since (daughter drives it). I've had no problems with it, now at 50k. Regular oil changes and filter changes have been done at various shops (Sears, JiffyLube, etc) since closest dealer is 50 miles away. If I need warranty work done on the 10/100k, what records will be required to satisfy the dealer? I just got a new 2009 Borrego last night, and they were very keen on work being done at the dealer (really pissed me off). The dealer I bought the Sorento from did not dwell on this at all. Any help would be appreciated. 2003 EX 4WD Sorento 2009 EX V6 4wd Borrego Central Iowa Replies to this message: pao (Oct 22, 2009 4:09 am)

Replying to: pigdoc (Oct 01, 2009 7:03 pm) think you hit the nail on the head with the dealer attitude....it your new dealer would insist....you probably would be required to produce all records indicating you had all scheduled maintenance done, not just the oil changes to include dif and trans fluid changes and the infamous timing belt..which for the 03 is due at 60K.....records would include type and weight of oil and all other parts used.... I found the scheduled maintenance intervals to be rather intensive for the early model year KIAs...dont know if that has changed or not....
