CarComplaints.com Notes: There are just too many engine stalls or shuts down while driving reports to feel good about the Sorento. Especially when those things happen, on average, at just over 32,000 miles. Hopefully things will change.
I was able to replace the electric window crank motor myself. It was relatively easy since I'm a handyman. It saved me a few bucks on labor but it was really a pain in the neck.
Cons
I've never owned a car that in 3 years needed a new window motor replaced, a new engine replaced, the radio was replaced ($400. my cost), the airbag wiring needs replaced (soy based wire covering), the latch for folding down the rear seat needs replaced, and the front strut bearings needed replaced.
Pros
The car paint still looks beautiful and shiny new at 91,000 miles. That's one thing they got right as well as comfortable seats! Have done a lot of long distance traveling. Great car to travel in. I hate to have to get rid of it but enough is enough.
