Kia Sorento Change Vehicle

"operated intermittently and then quit"

"it dosent work all the time"

"At random times the back-up camera would not work. The screen would remain blank/black"

"Backup camera displayed black screen. Kia dealer replaced outside camera unit under warranty as vehicle was < 60K miles. Issue resolved and satisfied with dealer's efforts"

"Back up camera quit working and needed to be replaced by dealer"

"Back up camera quit working (worked intermittently) Kia replaced it for free"

"Back up sensor works 50% of the time. Kia cannot see the malfunction so they cannot fix"

"KIA finally switched out the system, which made me happy. However, I still have times when the backup camera doesn't come on. I also had a recent time when the UVO never turned on during a 1-hour trip"

"When its cold outside, the screen isn't viewable. When the car warms up the screen becomes more visible"

"This happened after the device was changed. Now, every so often when I start the car, the system does not boot up properly. The KIA logo stays on the screen for 2-3 minutes, from time to time going blank and then coming back up (as if it is rebooting"

"sometimes the backup camera fails to show an image while in reverse. It is a black screen only. Also, the Uvo system sometimes reboots itself"

"Have no screen"

"The whole in-dash electronics (GPS, CD player, menu ) doesn't work properly."

"The complete factory installed system failed 1 month after warranty. Dealership estimate to replace was too expensive over 1,000."

"Navigation was not accurate, then stopped working."

"Nav system completely failed and the dealer had to install a completely new radio/nav module. It took days"

"some button are gray out, can't enter address. Have to enter out of NAV and go back in and try again two or three times. Going back to shop for repair next week"

"They put in a new navigation system because it was not working"

"It's my wife's car and the Navigation is not currently working. She hasn't had it looked at presently"

"Went out"

"The navigation/radio screen does not dim at night. Dealer can not duplicate so I turn it off at night. It is too dim the first hour of use, gets brighter until it is too bright. Dealer cannot duplicate either problem"

"Not pairing as such. In general the Bluetooth is poor at best. Not clear/garbled incoming sound, poor location for mic"

"Most of the time must configure cell phone to system by entering 4 digit code. Just with the three cell phones made by one HTC and 2 by Samsung. Going in shop again"

"The car would connect with the phone, and would answer calls. I could hear the other party, but they could not hear me. The dealer first thought it was the microphone, and changed it, but that did not solve the problem. Eventually, the whole device"

"doesn't connect frequently. must do it manually"

"sometimes the phone is not accessible, and have to redo it"

"Radio memory loss"

"on off button for radio broken...cannot turn radio off"

"The radio quit working ,within the 5 year/50,000 but not covered by warranty after 36 months ( fine print in warranty). replacement from KIA was over $800.00 plus installation, bought one from junk yard $45.00 and installed myself, ( 6 Hrs.)"

"radio works but it lost connection to the speakers. estimated $400 to rebuild. this also prevents me using cell phone inside the car."

"radio would shut off and turn on at random time intervals from a few seconds to a few hours.very frustrating , dealer would not cover under warranty because electronics only covered for 3yrs - 36K not the 50K - 5yr bumper to bumper they advertise. very misleading! dealer cost to replace would be $1500 - $1800. I bought used radio and replaced myself for under $50"

"The volume controls discontinued working on the CD/MPR/Satellite Radio system"

"base of radio antenna had to be replaced - was under warranty"

"Hit a patch of ice when braking, antilock brakes fired, radio then strangely went out. Thought initially it may have been a fuse - checked, no fuse issue. Returned to dealer a month later - replaced entire radio - $200"

"Have blown out two speakers over the past two years, even though they are part of a premium system. Kia has repaired twice under warranty for no charge."

"Two tweeters blown and replaced"

"The radio volume control on steering wheel causes the car’s phone interface to turn on instead of changing the radio’s volume. Rain water leak seems to be causing this and other problems. Kia will not fix it. Also a problem with window control on drivers side door."

"The mute button and the phone call buttons occasionally stop working"

"At times the volume controls on the steering wheel would decrease the volume when pressing the volume-up button. At these same times when you press the volume-down button it would activate voice control"

"volume control activates bluetooth or causes volume to go opposite of directional arrows. often have to manualy activate bluetooth"

"I already covered the first two. The voice commands have never worked for me."

"Voice control rarely works well when I enter a command to make a hands free phone call"

"works when it wants to"

"alignment was corrected once ..... same problem is present again ........ car pulls to right"

"Ball joints were bad and had to be replaced at 70000 miles"

"In February I had to have both Ball Joints replaced"

"Hard thud sound on left front when hitting a bump or when turning."

"squeaking"

"I had a broken housing on a rear shock and had both rear shocks replaced"

"Engine is sporty but the ride is rough and bumpy."

"Wheelbearings are bad and have had problems with front suspension for years"

"The car almost has a jarring drive. Rides very hard. Feel every pothole and/or indentation in the road. Air pressure is set to specs but every bump is felt. Uncomfortable ride"

"noise in front end of car"

"At 44000 miles I had to replace the front stabilizers (which I think minimize roll then turning) which may also be called torsion bars"

"Front link kit came loose ... changed under warranty"

"Noise when turning the steering wheel in one direction. Discovered it was rack and pinion - dealership ordered the replacement parts and completed repairs to great satisfaction. No other known concerns with car since purchase"

"Tie rod ends were bad and had to be replaced at 70000 miles"

"Purchased New tires and alignment. Tires started feathering immediately. Steering column rubs making noise when turning the steering wheel"

"Have the third set of tires on the car. Each set became noisy at at 45 mph. Noise gets louder and ties ware unevenly."

"noise in front of car"

"Pulley was making a whining sound and needed to be replaced. Was under warranty and fixed same day as"

"I went shopping, came out of the store and the car would not start, I contacted Kia and the car was taken in for repair, it was completed in two weeks, I had purchased additional coverage just in case anything like this would occur"

"Car would stall fronm time to time. Kia dealer made numerous attempts to fix, finally software was updates. After corrected we were notified of a recall for the same issue"

"Kia recently requested we return vehicle to correct a recall item with the ECO. Was accomplished, and was told that my gas mileage would improve. WRONG!!!!!. Worse, and I will be returning shortly to have them fix or return the vehicle engine to t"

"Car wouldn't start and had to be towed to the dealer. Computer problem resolved quickly"

"Knocks upon startup. Excessive oil consumption (1400 miles per qt)"

"The knocking sound was heard a week or two before the engine was replaced at the dealers cost. Just part of the other all process of the engine recall."

"received a recall notice for download to avoid this problem, my wife had to me that she had heard slight noise with she started car. also undercoating recall."

"Recall issued on problem with engine"

"Loosing oil but no leaks under car"

"Faulty oil pressure switch caused oil leak. Due to poor design the repair cost was higher than with most vehicles that experience a faulty oil pressure switch"

"Oil sending unit went bad and started leaking. The part is located under the manifold which required removal of the top of the engine to replace. Cost over $600 to replace a $16 part"

"Oil pressure sender failed indicating low oil pressure; very disappointed not covered by warranty; not easy to access, required disassembly of intake manifold; oil leaked into valley between cylinder banks could not be removed and subsequently dripped on my driveway"

"oil pressure gauge failed, nearly $400 dollars due to the location of the sensor. replacement sensor was less than 410. cost was because the head had to be removed to get to the sensor."

"Was notified of oil pan leak during visit to dealer for routine maintenance. Was ultimately covered and repaired under extended KPP warranty I had previously purchased."

"oil pressure sensor developed a leak due to seal failure. Oil leaked so badly it had to be replaced. The sensor is located under the intake manifold which is a big repair job for a minor part that screws in the block. It could have been an easy repair for someone who can operate a wrench, but instead it was a $500 repair. Its a common issue and should be covered by warranty, but isn't."

"Not a oil leak per say but this 4 cylinder burns oil"
