Replying to: tonyford (Nov 23, 2007 7:47 pm) I have an 04 and it just started having this same problem. I thought it may be a thermostat problem, but not sure. Did you get yours fixed?

Replying to: tonyford (Nov 23, 2007 7:47 pm) Your antifreeze is low. Get a gallon or two of the pre-mix antifreeze and fill the tank near the fire wall (passengers side). Just make sure you do it when the engine is cool, otherwise releasing the cap under pressure can release a rush of very hot water/antifreeze. I beleive the tank at the firewall holds about a gallon, after a couple of trips and once the engine is cool, check and fill it as needed to the proper levels.   My antifreeze is going low all the time, I do not know why! I suspect the radiator cap is bad. If the system does not hold pressure, the antifreeze will boil off. Keeping the fluid under pressure prevents it from boiling off. The cap is suppose to keep the system under pressure. If your cap were bad, I would think the system would have low pressure and hence, allow the antifreeze to boil off.   The heater in the Kia Sorento, with proper fluid levels should cause you to roll down the windows in sub-zero weather.   BTW, how's your dome lights, had the diode problem yet?

Replying to: roberth5 (Feb 11, 2008 7:42 pm) I wish it was that easy. My anti-freeze level right where is should be, full. That is not the problem. I don't think enough hot water is flowing thru the heater core at idle speed. Either it be the design of engine, the water pump is not circulating the heated water fast enough at idle I do not know, but when driving normally, the heat is fine.

Replying to: kman69 (Feb 17, 2008 11:38 am) Push and hold the AMB button and while doing so push and hold the temp down button until it changes. Mine seems to change on its own every now and then.
#13 of 23 Heating issues by tyler9 Apr 17, 2008 (7:10 am)
My 2005 Sorento with 92000km's on it has had its heating module replaced twice under warranty and the problem is still not fixed. The problem is that when the vehicle is started the heating works fine as normal. About 30 minutes into driving the dash vents start blowing out colder air even when the setting is on the floor and defrost. If the drive is longer the heat output starts to cool off to the point I have to increase the temperature. It eventually gets to the point that I have to keep the heat on high which is 32 Celsius to get the heat. The heat is there (as noted on high it kicks out full heat) but at 30 or 31 during a long drive it will kick out cool air.. almost aircondioning cool. Anyone else have this issue?? The dealer hasn't heard of anyone else or know what the problem might be?
