2003 Kia Sorento review from North America

This vehicle has been nothing but problems and expense since I got it.

It had many major repairs under warranty, so I bought an extended warranty that has now run out.

Now the vehicle is only six years old and the gas tank has to be replaced because of rust, the exhaust system is also shot. The car is not even worth the value of the repairs.

I phoned Kia head office. They don't care and all staff seem pre-programed to tell you that they will not assist with the expense of required repair work. A gas tank should not rust out in six years.

The alternator, and battery were replaced.

The block had to be taken apart and seals were replaced.

The brakes have required work several times, and never seem to be working properly.

The electrical system keeps shorting out, and I have to replace the brake fuse almost monthly.

The heater went and the coolant system had to be repaired. This is only part of the list. I would never buy Kia again. It is junk!
