2004 Kia Sorento LX review from North America

I have replaced headlight each side twice since I purchase the SUV in March 07'

Interior dome light goes in and out at will.

Most recently, I've been leaking antifreeze from the overflow tank. This I know because a master mechanic friend of mine has checked it out, and said it's not the water pump radiator or the hoses. He is very certain it's the overflow tank.

I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow; they are charging me $100.00 diagnostic fee to take a look. It is still under the Power Train Warranty, so if it's in fact the overflow tank, which I'm pretty confident it is, I will not have to pay for repair.

However, I've checked with NHSTA since I work closely with many of their employees, and there isn't a recall.

I called KIA, and they did confirm that the overflow tanks for the Sorento have been redesigned because of problems with the old model cracking on the bottom, so they had to make it sturdier.

I like my Sorento, even with it's current problem.

It ran quietly when I first got it. I would turn down the radio when I was sitting still, just to make sure it was still running.

I like the room and cargo space.

With the exceptions of the above listed problems, it's been great. I love my Sorento LX.
