2003 Kia Sorento EX review from North America
"Would not purchase again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alignment, it seems it was not aligned correctly from the start. When put in for required general 12,000 check-up, the car came back with the same problem after I spent nearly 5 hours waiting.
Back seat does not go down and the side passenger door does not open correctly. Dealer located in Fort Lauderdale will only replace the back seat and mechanism on door. They do not do repair, only order new parts which might seem okay, but then the car needs to go in for a full work day to get new item put in.
Bought in Fort Lauderdale, Maroone, and they could have a better repair department with more convenient hours.
General comments?
This car "drinks" gas. Afraid to go anywhere because of the cost, even though I barely ever use the air conditioner.
Car feels top heavy.
