I just received my New 2005 LX Automatic Steptronic Sorrento last Thursday. Of course the clock problem was expected and I asked the dealer to change it prior to delivery. As usual, the saleseman did a lousy job at taking notes and following up : the clock had not been changed prior to delivery... <_<
Now, 3 days later, my Sorrento, with barely 200km on it won't start... :angry: Everything on the electrical system works, lights, radio etc... but no engine start ! Only after 1 minute or 2 of the key turned in the ignition, then it will start ! ( Yes the transmission was properly set into Park )
Once I had it started, the engine check light turns on and stays on ! :angry: Now I am really doubting KIA's reliability ! ( The gas cap was firmly thighten...)
I am quite deceived as I had done extended hours of research on this vehicule and it had nothing but praised from various reputed automotive reviews, even in long term testing.
My Sorrento is now at the dealer and I'll wait to hear what was wrong with it. I sincerlely hope that this was the last of the problems I'll have for a while, if not I'm selling it off right away for another SUV.
