2006 Kia Sorento LX review from North America
"The best vehicle a single parent could get"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems I've had is there is a pull out arm rest in the back seat that has a piece of cloth that you use to pull it out, and that broke 1 week after I got the truck. Had it fixed at the dealership - they had to replace that whole section to fix it. It broke again about 3 months ago, and I haven't had the time to get it fixed again.
The other thing is a popping noise on the outside of the truck when I take off or go around corners. I took it to the dealership, and they said the running boards had to be adjusted, but they only cover that adjustment up until 12,000 miles, and it was at 17,000 so they wanted to charge me $45 to "adjust" the running boards. I told them no thanks.
General comments?
I love everything about this truck, and would buy another one for sure!
