Unsatisfactory experience due to engine-related issues
2/5

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.
