Hello fellow Sorento owners. I have two problems that I am hoping you can help with. I have an 07 BL facelift model with the 3.3l auto.
No.1. When I pull up to a stop (like a set of traffic lights), the car will come to a stop. I will then feel a bump type of sensation which feels as if it comes from the rear of the car. Upon accelerating away, the engine will rev up followed by a bump and then the car will move. All of this happens in the space of a split second mind you. I have taken it to the dealer who have indicated that the bushes that attach the trailing arms to the Diff move up and down as the vehicle stops and moves off. Brand new bushes were fitted, but still the same thing happens. Has anyone else experienced this?
No.2 At random times, when I go to start the car, I will turn the key and release, just before the car starts (like a habit of timing developed over a repetitive use). Sometimes as well, the engine will strat and then stall. If I do not remove the key, then turning it again will only cause the engine to crank over. It will not start until the key is removed and re-inserted. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks.
Terry
