2005 Kia Sorento Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“The vehicle is simply not wanting to accelerate upon taking off or going uphill. After little research, I found this is a common problem associated with this model. A metal piece of a valve has been shearing off then lodging in the emissions system. Canada has already issued a recall so I am unsure why the us hasn't followed suit.”

“As I was driving my 2005 Kia Sorento at 40mph it started bucking and when you go to accelerate you can hold the pedal to the floor and it does not pick up speed. Took it to my mechanic and his software shows a recall for this and Kia is saying there is no recall on my vehicle. His software says recalls campaign-sc073 icv replacement.”

“Wife was driving away from house, heard screaching sound, then lost power steering while driving nearly ending up on sidewalk. When I checked under hood, I saw a bolt sitting on lower part of engine compartment, crankshaft pulley not moving, but bolt that holds it on spinning. None of the belts were moving. Most of the warning lights were also lit up. Apparently, there is a class action lawsuit involving this issue.”

“The gear shift leaver broke while driving 2005 Kia sorrento when examining the leaver it is held together by a small plastic screw that split in half when the lever was shifted into another gear. Thus making the shifter inoperable the car had 65000 miles on it I brought the car to Kia and had to replace the shift leaver. I did not ask to keep the old leaver.”
