2005 Kia Sorento EX review from North America
"OK SUV. needs more options"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Advanced passanger airbag doesn't turn on properly when an adult sits in the seat. has been fixed 2 times, but still won't work propperly.
Wheels squeaked off an on when you hit a bump.
Tail lights break when you shut the rear hatch door
have replaced tail light 4 or 5 times with in the last 2 years.
General comments?
It is an o.k. suv. it looks pretty good. the front of the car is very nice looking. but the side profile of the car is very strange toward the rear-end. has o.k. handling in the snow. we don't have anti lock brakes and we have a ton of snow in the winter. and we have had quite a few mishaps with sliding on the snow in this car.
