CarComplaints.com Notes: Kia really changed the design of the Sorento in the 2011 model year. Instead of a truck-like body-on-frame more capable of offroad adventures, the newest Sorento is a unibody construction and is much more crossover than sport utility. The changes brought a whole slew of problems, including a frustrating problem where the door that won’t open. Is it too late to go back?

The Kia dealer told me to go file a Consumer Affairs complaint, since Kia doesn't work with customers. This is clearly a factory defect and they're ignoring it.

Paint is chipping around all over the car. I am afraid I will soon have an aluminum color car instead of white.
