problem #1

Sorento LX+ V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3 miles

KIA advertising and specification brochure rates the vehicle as being capable of towing up to 5,000 lbs. Capable yes, but not legal with the 4 pin flat connector KIA provides. In Canada, and because our regs are similar to USA probably, this is not legal for loads over 2,000 lbs without electric brakes. a 4 wire harness is not capable of controlling electric brakes. Their towing kit does not provide a brake controller which is also required by law for over 2,000 lbs. It seems to me that there are a lot of illegal towing vehicles out there. I mentioned this to two dealers and they could not have cared less.
