And another problem. 3.3 L V6 engines have issues with bolts backing out of the block causing exhaust gases to get into the cooling system. Requires complete and total engine replacement. Problem only occurs between 100000 and 120,000 miles, just after the warranty ends. Some dealers are replacing 7 engines per week. It’s a design defect that should be recalled by the manufacturer
I have a 2016 sxl and just had head gasket issue with overheating and coolant leak. Getting engine replaced by Kia dealer due to recent recall extending factory warranty to 150k miles or 10yrs. Issue is head bolts stripping causing head gasket failure.
For anyone wondering: there are very very few modern cars that are not plagues by problems. Starting with VW, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, and every other major brand. I`ve been plagued with problems on my Audi A5 C7 2013, and all 2.0 TDI engines from VW group (Skoda, Audi, VW, Seat) are cancerous. From oil pump issues, turbo issues, crankshaft breaking in half etc. Yet there are many people that are very happy with their car and never had any issues. Buy a low mileage, well serviced vehicle, and you should be good. I bought my 2.2 CRDI Sorento 3 @ 2015 with 70.000 miles and it work very well now at 100.000. Keep in mind that Kia hyunday and I think Suzuki are among the very few brands that offer 7 years of warranty. No other manufacturer does this (at least not in europe). There are no good cars, just well maintained ones that you hope will take you far. (yes arguably there are some that are much worse than others).
I have a 2019 Kia Sorrento L I would like you to add to this list for the most common problems passenger side low beam constantly goes out I constantly every 3 to 4 months have to replace my bulb driver side break light and turn signal constantly go out I am replacing my bulb every 2 to 3 months matter fact just replaced brake light and turn signal bulb three days ago again it is so bad that I carry replacement bulbs at all times in my trunk in the secret compartment where the tire spare release is at I do not understand why they have not done a recall on this or why they haven’t fixed this problem it has been a known problem for quite some time
This use to happen in my GMC Sierra 2009, I fixed it by replacing the socket the bulb goes into with one that has higher voltage/amp tolerance. The factory tolerances were so low the after market bulbs would pull too much, and go out every few months. I also started wearing gloves and using a waterproof socket gel for lack of a better word.
I have a 2019 kia sorento and my biggest regret is the headlights seem to be pointing down. There is no fix to this. I have replaced the low beam bulbs.
Has anyone had problems with 2016 Kia Sorento sxl ? My Kia Kia kicks or jerks like right after 1st gear, sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't hmmm?? Anyone having same issues??
Big issue is AWD issue where you will loose AWD entirely and will have only FWD vehicle without errors. The problem is between transfer case and transmission. The gears and splines will corrode and cease to exist. Really high cost repair. KIA/Hyundai - do not buy as used vehicle. Is money pit.
If you live in the United States and have a 2016 Sorrento with a V6 and had head gasket issues, you need to file a complaint with the national transportation highway and safety administration NHTSA They are doing an investigation
I had something similar. I drove pretty based on engine break, my break pads were good with 8mm at 45k miles but the support on the breaks failed... But I feel somewhat pulsating..
Im in New Zealand. This is exactly what happened to my 2016 Sorento 2.4 petrol did a big end bearing at 115000 kms. Up for $16,000 NZD to recondition engine. KIA say unheard of issue in NZ so my bad luck. Kia don't care. My car still in bits after 6 months.
My 16 Sorento has broken the door handles multiple times, engine burns a quart of oil every 1k miles, transmission noises, valve cover gasket dry rotted and several other things. Has been a terrible vehicle
That’s my car it’s was burning oil like crazy and they sent a letter regarding that issue . Now my engine light is on. I had it towed to the dealership and I just hope they fix everything
i have a kia sorrento 2018 and is just so bad that thinking of sue kia and try to get my money back! you all should do the same! is just to many issues ! there is a law in the states call limon! good luck to you

Is this prone in the 2019 v6 Sorentos?

I got the same issue with 2019 LX sorento
85,324 miles no sweat, no problems. Works and drives very well.
I had the same issue on a 2016 model, I solve my problem ordering LED lights from Amazon.

theres a torx adjustment for this, search youtube for instructions. I did it my self.
we should sue kia for all this we need to get a good law firm to do a massive law sue against KIA, my is a disaster!
Has anyone had problems with 2016 Kia Sorento sxl ? My Kia Kia kicks or jerks like right after 1st gear, sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't hmmm?? Anyone having same issues??

How does one identify what generation one owns?

thank you good video
So what are the issues with 2020? You did not say??
Exactly.
from 2018 to 2020 there is another gearbox and a lot of other things...
If you live in the United States and have a 2016 Sorrento with a V6 and had head gasket issues, you need to file a complaint with the national transportation highway and safety administration NHTSA They are doing an investigation
What would a reconstructed PA title for a 2016 Kia Sorento LX AWD 4 DR Sport utility worth
would like to know this as well
I have a 2019 Kia Sorento does any one have a problem with pulsating front bracks ? have had brakes changed and still have problem
I had something similar. I drove pretty based on engine break, my break pads were good with 8mm at 45k miles but the support on the breaks failed... But I feel somewhat pulsating..
My 2017 engine had lock up
1:48 Rough shifting.
no issues for 2020....?
That’s what it seems like. According to consumer reports the 2020 is pretty reliable
Im in New Zealand. This is exactly what happened to my 2016 Sorento 2.4 petrol did a big end bearing at 115000 kms. Up for $16,000 NZD to recondition engine. KIA say unheard of issue in NZ so my bad luck. Kia don't care. My car still in bits after 6 months.

@@nathantaylor8643,,,just curious if you've spent excessive amounts for routine maintenance compared to other vehicles. Thx
2016 Sorento with 160,000 kms has been flawless
