It's GA. It's July. My air stopped working. I had to have it immediately repaired. I was told it was not covered under warranty. It cost $550. I am hoping for a recall or refund!

problem #1

Jul 012015

Sorento ES6 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,000 miles

Problem 1 - Clunking noise when shifting gears, then a continuous shrill noise that will not go away - Transfer case replaced. KIA was well aware of the issue.

Problem 2 - Engine has stalled on two occasions

I have reported the above as two separate issues

Problem 3 - Air conditioner has failed to work on more than one occasion and I am wondering if it is linked to having cruise on. I have reported it to KIA. They of course have advised to bring it in the next time it continuously does not work or when it becomes a problem. Both times the air has not worked, we have been on long drives and we are on the highway with cruise on. We have tried everything to get it to work and then after we stop and then get back in to go, it will work. The blower will not even go full power.
