1 Front Suspension problem of the 2005 Kia Motor Sorento

Failure Date: 11/10/2010

My 2005 Sorento, SUV, begun to shake on the front and later stopped. I had a mechanic check it for the main belt to be off and he said it was more major. The bolt had broken off in the motor. Some cars from kia had already had that complaint. I called the kia headquarters and they said yes, but not a recall for that model doing it. Well it is and I am still paying for something I can't use. ????.

From day 1 I complained of a clunking/banging noise on the front passenger side of vehicle when going over small bumps. 3 attempts at dealers and calls to kia produced only the statement "common to this vehicle platform" I now have over 4,000 miles and still the same problem.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds a noise and a vibration was noticed. Upon further inspection, unusual wear on the inner tread of the front tires was also noticed. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who could not duplicate the problem. Updated 9/11/2006 - the left front strut was noisy due to loose bottom strut bolt. The dealer tightened end and secured bolt. The consumer felt vibration in brake pedal when reversing and making turns. The dealer resurfaced the brake rotors and pads. The vibration returned.
