Since purchasing new 2004 Sorento in February 2004, have had the vehicle to two different dealers for five attempts to resolve a vibration from unidentified source. The vibration was first experienced at 70 mph. One dealer has replaced the gear cluster in the rear differential, balance and rebalanced tires, replaced rear U-joints, and replaced front drive shaft. This did not correct problem. Second dealer replaced rear drive shaft a second time. Vibration is now worse. It can be felt at 50 mph and 70 mph. Have met with Kia factory rep. Kia states they have a technical bulletin on this problem.
