#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)

But if you haven't...I had a rattle in my 2007 Kia Sorento. It sounded like it was coming from the back hatch or close to that area. I took it back to the dealer twice and they couldn't find anything wrong, so I took it to another local dealer and a young punk working there pretty much told me that I was crazy! The very same day, I was talking about my problem at work and I took one of the guys I work with for a ride so he could hear the rattle. As soon as we got back and he got out of the car, he sat down on the ground in front of the back tire and said here's you problem! The front part of the rear wheel well was not attached to the body and was flapping. He put a little rubber sticky foot (like what would go on the bottom of a computer or something) on both sides and then we went for another ride. I have you know....there was no more rattle! Something that simple but idiots at Kia couldn't see it! They would just rather say that I was crazy! This may not help you but hopefully it might help some other folks like me that can't stand to hear a rattle!!! :
#13 of 15 check engine light/knocking noise by frustrated2 Aug 06, 2008 (12:07 pm)
Once again, I have my Kia in for service. 2005 kia sorento. Yes it has 106,000 miles but all highway but of course no longer under warranty. My check engine light came on yest. Also, hear a knocking noise which worsens when accelarate. Kinda lose some power as well. Brought in for diagnostics which stated code 134 for o2 sensor and 305 for cylinder number 5 misfire. However, this place wont touch kia motors and refered me to dealers. Well if any of you dealt with dealers u know its a waste of time and a lot of money. However needs fixed. Would these codes relate to noise I am hearing?? I feel its probably a separate prob. (possibly a belt) however I know nothing about cars (but seem to know more than kia mechanics). thanks renee Replies to this message: pao (Aug 07, 2008 5:01 am) frustrated2 (Aug 12, 2008 11:27 am)

Replying to: frustrated2 (Aug 06, 2008 12:07 pm) O2 sensor is an easy replacement if you are somewhat good with tools.....I didnt have the time or tools to do it when mine went out on my 03 sorie (109K miles) ....$175 at the dealer to replace..as for the misfire.....try changing the plug and wire out first.....but of course it isnt easy getting to the plugs on the sorie either...   and yes..beleive at least the misfire will contribute to the noise....the 02 sensor would just impact MPG a little....   if it is a belt....you should be able to test the tension to see if they are ok...but I doubt its the belt..creating a "knocking" sound....

Replying to: frustrated2 (Aug 06, 2008 12:07 pm) Just an update: Had 2005 K. sorento in shop for ICV recall. Found out only because engine light came on and problems accelerated on highway as well as hearing knocking noise. Very long story short and week later without car, found out some parts were sucked into engine. So now dealor calling a Kia rep to find out if they will replace WHOLE motor and if under warranty. Remind you car only 3 yrs old. If under warranty, would new timing belt and serp belts be under warranty as well. These need replaced also and wondering if I need to fight for coverage. thanks to all for your assistance in the past, now and future problems.
