problem #1

Feb 102012

Sorento 6-cyl

  • miles
After parking the car for 72 hours at an airport, upon return the car started normally, but the warning light showing a battery appeared. While driving home, approx 8 miles, the car's dash flashed more warning symbols... antibrakes, airbag, etc and the wipers began to slow. I pulled over as the vehicle lost power and stalled. I used Kia's roadside assistance to get a tow to the dealership. On 2/13/2012 the dealership replaced the alternator at no charge. This repair, necessary on this 2012 Kia Sorento, occurred at 6,607 miles.
