2003 Kia Sorento LX review from North America
"Terrible vehicle and no one will own up to mistakes that have been made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
95,000km, the crank bolt went sheared off the pulley into the radiator.
100,000km, the lifters in the engine went.
104,230km, the engine had to be replaced due to camshaft seizing.
104,245km, coolant leaked out all over driveway.
General comments?
Car is total disaster.
Bought used and have had nothing but trouble with it. Now once again it's unuseable.
Owned it 5 months, driven it 2.5 to 3 months in total, engine keeps breaking.
