problem #3

Sorento SX V6

  • Automatic transmission

While driving with radio playing, the display will change from radio stations to KIA sign. After a short time it will revert to normal display,

This has happened several times lately.

Incidently When shifting in to reverse from drive my safety camera will not display. The radio station information

will be displayed. I have no idea if these two situations are related. I first noticed the backup camera not working a few days before the radio glich was noticed.

I have not contacted the dealer about this Yet.

I can't be without a vehicle at this particular time...!

problem #1

Sorento LX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles

I was told that the radio warranty was only good for up to 35,000 miles and that none were available to purchase. I was informed 3 months later that a radio was soon to be available for purchase for $400. I haven't as yet replaced it.

Update from Apr 10, 2016: I was just able to purchase a reconditioned radio for $399.00 plus tax at the Dealer and they took my old radio for core charge.

They stated my radio's warranty ran out at 35,000 miles. Hope the new one lasts longer.
