2 Tail Light problem of the 2003 Kia Motor Sorento

Failure Date: 07/10/2007

Last Feb. The coolant reservoir cracked, lost all coolant. Towed to dealer. They fixed it and told me that I needed a new belt. I didn't want anything more to happen as I take my 90 year old mom around, they replaced one belt for $120. Never ran right after that, with screeching noises and no more a/c. Today, just as I was driving onto the highway-I started losing my steering and I immediately pulled over off the ramp, then it stalled as I was pulling over. I have read about this happening to a lot of people and was just waiting for it to happen. Well it did and thank god I wasn't going 70 on the highway yet. It has been towed to dealer and they said it was the bolt on the drive shaft that broke. Then he said that since I'm only 8000 miles away from 60k, then I should just do the timing belt service now because if I don't and it goes, then my engine will blow. So I guess this is what I have to wait to happen next and I'm sure it will. Thousands of people can't be wrong. Don't buy a kia!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

4 Tail Light problem of the 2006 Kia Motor Sorento

Failure Date: 07/22/2006

2006 Sorento was purchased in Nov 2005. Jan of 2006 the check engine light came on and I was told it was due to possible loose gas cap. First time tail light went out was in July of 2006. Right rear tail light was replaced. In October of 2006 a tail light bulb was replaced during my 15,000 mile maintenance. In November 2006 right tail light went out and kia replaced bulb once again. In December of 2006 left tail light went out and check engine light came on. Bulb was replaced and I was told my spark plugs were misfiring and were replaced. A day later my check engine light came on again. I am now trying to see what day I can take off of work yet again to go and have the check engine light looked at.
