Very unreliable and severe transmission issues

4/5 Very Good 466 views

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 issues. Another problem I faced was that the engine light came on without any reason. For 26 days the Sorento has been sitting at the dealership. The reliability of the Sorento is really questionable. With this vehicle, I have learned the lesson that looks can be deceiving.

  • Spacious and Practical SUV for Malaysian Families

    For more than a year, my family has only driven the Kia Sorento, and it's been great. It's big enough for long trips but small enough to drive in town. The plush seats and big screens make the inside feel very high-end. The third-row seats are great for kids or short trips. For... Read More

  • The engine’s performance is quite underwhelming

    Owning the Kia Sorento has been a disappointing and underwhelming experience. I like the safety technology and the large screen. The panoramic sunroof is also a nice addition. But I found the 4-cylinder turbocharged engine’s performance to be very underwhelming. The... Read More

  • A versatile and family-friendly midsized SUV

    I purchased the Kia Sorento last February and it has been one of the best investments I have ever made in my life. It rides very well. We have had around three trips over 1000 miles and this is the best vehicle I can say from my experience. The seats are well-bolstered and don't... Read More

  • It’s a piece of junk

    I regret buying the Kia Sorento in just seven months of ownership. In such a short time I had to replace the air conditioning system and the transmission, which is very frustrating, but the worst thing is that Kia didn’t even offer a new transmission. I was provided with a... Read More

  • Unsatisfactory experience due to engine-related issues

    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,... Read More
