Sorento LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 66,287 miles

I own a 2005 Kia Sorento Lx of which I purchased from a dealer representative. Over the past 7 years, I have had more repairs done than enjoyed the comfort of having this car. Continuous repairs to the air conditioning, engine lights coming on continuously, overheating - radiator belt busting/melting.

One day while driving without warning the wheels gave a loud cranking sound, disabling me from driving back home just 100yds away from my home... I had to call a wrecker just to get to my parking lot. It was towed to the mechanic shop the next day. Each times the mechanic's warned me about trying to get rid of this type of car. Unfortunately the repairs was one thing leading to another.

Here I am now with electrical problems - the computer is totally shot. Apparently the computer is on the floor under the dash board of passenger side. It seem like water got into leaking from a faulty design trims of roofing and the sunroof. I had a hard time trying to sell my Kia even though it was well kept when running, Hopeful the Junk Shop will take.

Sorento GSE 2.5L

  • Manual transmission
  • 116,457 miles

The jeep keeps cutting out. Has been to two Kia garages and neither has solved the problem. It is parked at my house and will not start. It seems to me that it is an electrical problem. I have spent over 4,000 euros on it so far and it is still not right. The garages keep reconditioning the injectors but that isn't the problem. If there is anyone that can help me or throw light on the matter please let me know. Thank you. LFG
