2003 Kia Sorento review from North America
"Could be a nice car if the maker would stand behind it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car hasn't really given us a problem, except for the paint. It is chipping all over and is going to have to be repainted. We should have taken it back when it first started, but didn't, so that is our fault. But a new car should not have chipped paint.
We were called to get a bolt replaced due to a recall. We took it to the local dealer and they did not have the part in yet. They promised to call when it came in, but they didn't. When we ask why they never called, they explained that they were too busy. How is that for service.
Needless to say, our family will never buy another Kia product. They should "man-up" and fix these problems even if there are several miles on the vehicle.
Now the inside lights are blinking when the headlights are on. Could be a fuse, but not sure.
ABS light stays on most all the time.
