#1 of 15 characteristic of the vehicle ??? by sorento2006 Mar 15, 2007 (12:03 pm)
i have a 2006 sorento,2-wd with the sport package.radiant red w/tan interior.now for the fun part...at 1800 miles i noticed an irritating rattle coming from the right top side of the dash,and have been in & out of the shop,contacting kia,etc.. of course,i don't have to tell you owners what that has been like !!the dealership has washed their hands,and i can't get these stupid people at kia to follow thru on anything.the rattle happens when the sun hits the dash,and the dealership tells me this is a 'characteristic' of the sorento.well,i drove 2 others with more miles than mine,it had 17 miles when i bought it last april,now has 7700,and no other sorento has made that noise.also,i love my car,but would like to put on a smoother riding tire,other than the michelin cross terrains,without having to have my speedometer recalibrated..any suggestions ???please contact me with any help at,THIRDONE42YAHOO.COM   thanks for any input,not to mention help !!!   herb Replies to this message: sorento2006 (Mar 16, 2007 8:05 am)

#4 of 15 poor kia service by beyond_help Mar 16, 2007 (10:28 am)
we went through the same thing with a kia area rep. over a noise in the rear differental area we went for a road test, this was is answer "your arn't going to like my answer, the engineers know about it and have not come up with a fix yet" this is one of the USUAL KIA BS answers, meaning they plan to do nothing about it   get used to the Kia run around, you will get plenty. the most famous is the "sorry we can't duplacte your problem"   i will never buy another Kia product !!!

#9 of 15 KIA Sorento noise occurrs when closing hood by mtc30263 Aug 20, 2007 (7:21 pm)
Replying to: pao (Mar 16, 2007 6:01 am) Has anyone had a problem with hood Squeaking when it is being closed? I talked with Kia while getting something repaired under warranty, and they said the latch had to be replaced. I hink its something that just needs to be tightened. I think Kia Dealer just wanted to make some money since this is not covered under warranty. It also squeaks when hitting bumps or driving over speed bumps. THanks for any help.   M Replies to this message: taomerni (Sep 21, 2007 9:10 pm)
