Unsatisfactory experience due to engine-related issues

2/5 Fair 175 views

For two weeks, I drove the Kia Sorento putting 1700 miles on it. However, my experience was very unsatisfactory. Once when I pulled the Sorento into my driveway, the engine started rattling loudly suddenly. The worst thing is that all this happened without any warning lights, but I had the vehicle towed quickly to the dealer. After inspection it was found out that the engine bearings had failed, leading to metal fragments and internal damage inside the turbo. A new engine has been installed, but I had to be without my vehicle for thirteen days as I waited for the replacement turbo. This has left me disappointed.

  • A versatile and family-friendly midsized SUV

    I purchased the Kia Sorento last February and it has been one of the best investments I have ever made in my life. It rides very well. We have had around three trips over 1000 miles and this is the best vehicle I can say from my experience. The seats are well-bolstered and don't... Read More

  • It’s a piece of junk

    I regret buying the Kia Sorento in just seven months of ownership. In such a short time I had to replace the air conditioning system and the transmission, which is very frustrating, but the worst thing is that Kia didn’t even offer a new transmission. I was provided with a... Read More

  • Very unreliable and severe transmission issues

    I traded my Audi last November for the Kia Sorento and loved it initially. However, my experience got worse when the car started experiencing transmission issues just after a few months of the ownership. I have covered only 500 miles on this vehicle and I cant even expect such... Read More
