Unsatisfactory experience due to engine-related issues

2/5 Fair 2 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.

    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

    I gifted my wife Kia Sorento on her thirty-fifth birthday, but my enthusiasm to surprise her turned into a huge disappointment. The car's transmission malfunctioned within a week of the purchase of the vehicle. I got it replaced, but encountering any such issue just within a few... Read More
