Uses and takes so much oil every 1-2 weeks. This should be recalled. I have to replace my spark plus because of the oil getting into them. I've had 8 plugs go back so far in the past 4 months. This is an ongoing issue. I've had my Sorento for almost 2 years. Regretting getting a kia. Love the car butt the oil and repairs and the fact it could catch fire ???? yeah I don't let my kids ride in it anymore. Kia should be ashamed ! fix our cars now.
I was driving my vehicle up a hill with my 2 young children and the car just turned off. I was unable to push the brake. No engine light or oil light or anything came on! drifted into a parking lot. It was 2 degrees out. One of the coldest days of the year. Towed the car to kia. Gave them 3 or 4 receipt as for oil changes. They denied the engine for warranty! stating sludge in engine. The vehicle was just at the dealership 6 months ago for 6 recalls and they checked everything before I picked the vehicle up. Every where I look on the complaint forums is all about oil consumption problems and engine failures with these vehicles! wish I would have know this! I have no $ for a new engine.
