took the SUV back to the mechanic at the dealer at Riverdale KIA. told them the SUV is making louder noises. They said for us to leave it and they would check it out, so we left it with them. They called us and said while they were dirving the SUV around they heard a loud sound and it was the rear Differential Housing Broke again.

They ordered a new one. They said thy thought the mechanic may have installed the first one in wrong. Got the SUV back after being repaired the second time. (See the next complaint)

Sorento SX V6

blu a hole in it again third time to be replaced

Here we are again the Differential went out again. Third time this time they refused to cover this under warranty they still don't know why this is happening. My SUV is like new but it can not be trusted. This vehicle is a lemon. I am going to get rid of it before it breaks down again. I will never buy a KIA Product again. When I called the office that approves the repairs the women on the phone was very rude and mean with her response when I was talking with her. I had to pay for the repair. I am so done with Riverdale Kia. I advice people to be careful. so much for warranties.
