And another problem. 3.3 L V6 engines have issues with bolts backing out of the block causing exhaust gases to get into the cooling system. Requires complete and total engine replacement. Problem only occurs between and 120, 000 miles, just after the warranty ends. Some dealers are replacing 7 engines per week. It’s a design defect that should be recalled by the manufacturer

it is funny when you ask kia dealer about a recall they tell you everytime that there is no recall.. kia is the worse service ever. My last kia!!

For anyone wondering: there are very very few modern cars that are not plagues by problems. Starting with VW, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, and every other major brand. I`ve been plagued with problems on my Audi A5 C7 2013, and all 2.0 TDI engines from VW group (Skoda, Audi, VW, Seat) are cancerous. From oil pump issues, turbo issues, crankshaft breaking in half etc. Yet there are many people that are very happy with their car and never had any issues.
Buy a low mileage, well serviced vehicle, and you should be good. I bought my 2.2 CRDI Sorento 3 @ 2015 with 70.000 miles and it work very well now at 100.000. Keep in mind that Kia hyunday and I think Suzuki are among the very few brands that offer 7 years of warranty. No other manufacturer does this (at least not in europe). There are no good cars, just well maintained ones that you hope will take you far. (yes arguably there are some that are much worse than others).

I have a 2019 Kia Sorrento L I would like you to add to this list for the most common problems passenger side low beam constantly goes out I constantly every 3 to 4 months have to replace my bulb driver side break light and turn signal constantly go out I am replacing my bulb every 2 to 3 months matter fact just replaced brake light and turn signal bulb three days ago again it is so bad that I carry replacement bulbs at all times in my trunk in the secret compartment where the tire spare release is at I do not understand why they have not done a recall on this or why they haven’t fixed this problem it has been a known problem for quite some time

I have a 2019 kia sorento and my biggest regret is the headlights seem to be pointing down. There is no fix to this. I have replaced the low beam bulbs.

How does one identify what generation one owns?

Has anyone had problems with 2016 Kia Sorento sxl ? My Kia Kia kicks or jerks like right after 1st gear, sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't hmmm?? Anyone having same issues??

[LukeBasson]

Big issue is AWD issue where you will loose AWD entirely and will have only FWD vehicle without errors. The problem is between transfer case and transmission. The gears and splines will corrode and cease to exist. Really high cost repair. KIA/Hyundai - do not buy as used vehicle. Is money pit.

So what are the issues with 2020? You did not say??

If you live in the United States and have a 2016 Sorrento with a V6 and had head gasket issues, you need to file a complaint with the national transportation highway and safety administration NHTSA They are doing an investigation

Im in New Zealand. This is exactly what happened to my 2016 Sorento 2.4 petrol did a big end bearing at 115000 kms. Up for $16, 000 NZD to recondition engine. KIA say unheard of issue in NZ so my bad luck. Kia don't care. My car still in bits after 6 months.
