Hi my 2014 Sorento started to be difficult to put into 1st & reverse gear. When I took it to my Kia dealer they told me it was my clutch starting to go but it wasn’t covered under my warranty. I find this hard to believe because it’s still within the 7 year 100,000 warranty period. incidentally I don’t have any other indications of it being the clutch - it’s not slipping & is towing fine. can advise me please. funnyfish33You only get 2 years from new with clutches, I did manage to get mine covered by Kia for the 7 years as I and another member here were having problems with clutch smell from day one. this expires in July 2020 So unfortunately you will have to fund the replacement yourself. Paul

Hi all just joined this forum so please forgive if coming across a bit green, I have owned a Sorento XT 56 plate for four years over that time had major issues meaning the car has spent a lot of time in the garage just when I thought I was over the worse recently car has started juddering/banging possibly from front drive shaft? Has got progressively worse as when your moving through the gears and accelerating, have taken the car for diagnostic and came back with code P1736 motor shift open? Local garage didn’t seem to know a lot about it but seem to me like it’s trying to transfer into 4x4 but not sure? Have read a few threads that’s seem to relate but I’m at a loss! Love the car and have spent a lot on it so any help would be much appreciated thanks guys.

Generally the code indicates an electrical issue - open circuit detected (in the shift motor system) or short to ground. As this is a TOD system, the shift motor itself should only be involved when changing to 4wd-Low so the issue could be trying to switch box into low by itself, which is not a good thing obviously.

The dash lights dont come on when driving just short distances, but if I was to drive 20 miles+ (not that I do very often with this issue) then the ESP off light comes on and the green 4WD hi indicator flashes (looks like a drive shaft and 4 wheels). But even driving short distance will start to play up straight away from moment I move into 3rd gear accelerating constants banging! But often does stop as soon as you take your foot of the accelerator, I suspect maybe a sensor issue on the 4x4? But wouldn’t no where to locate it, didn’t no if any other forum users had experienced the same issue, any help would be great many thanks

The dash lights dont come on when driving just short distances, The flashing light is warning light and consistent with diagnostic. I think you are going to have to sort out the electrical issue (short/open circuit) first. Not sure about ESP. Could be a wheel sensor issue. One may be causing the other. There's a multitude of testing parameters in the manual. You could try checking and cleaning harness connectors, particularly underneath at the transfer case shift motor (looks like a wiper motor or similar).

Check dash for 'door open' indicator. Then wiggle the door switch buttons. until they feel 'straight'. You could take the door switches off and clean them, but issue will most likely come back. Mine usually does it on slow left, slightly uphill turns with the window open and is the drivers door switch. I have a very worn (not existent) door seal which probably does not help.

Hi can anybody tell me why my 2007 xe just dies on the smallest of bread and is useless when towing. When the revs are below 2000 you have to change gears all the time. When the revs are about 3000 it's a flying machine great car. Got it ramapped last year and it was great but it's away back to being useless again. Cheers

Cheers Get any error codes read (and report back, starting a new thread in the technical section). That at least gives a chance of some diagnosis. If the car is now running "as it was before remap" (ie like it should) would suggest the remap has been wiped in some manner.

Hi, I've got a rusty crossmember on my Sorento, but I don't know exactly what it is called so struggling to search for it. It's the bar that runs across between the tops of the two back wheels, just below the boot floor. It has the forward rest for the spare wheel attached to it. I need to know what it is called, if it is an MOT failure, if Kia can help, and if not, a rough repair cost. I thought it may the the "rear crossmember", but on the pictures I've seen of that, that is further forward. Many thanks! ETA pics: Pic 1 - rear chassis cross tube endPic 2 - rear chassis cross tube centrePic 3 - cross member too

I am aware of a couple of people who have replaced them. Not sure if Kia would help but it can't hurt to try. (Don't settle for the dealer say-so. Go to the top dog. Dealer would only have to send it out to a body shop in most cases.) Cost? 'piece of string' size. It's part of the structure so, almost certainly, an MOT failure at some point.

Looking at a Kia Sorento diesel. Have currently got a Peugeot 5008 diesel with the adblue. What a horror story. Had it for 8 months, it’s been in Peugeot’s garage 6 times with particulate filter blocking. I do at least 50 miles a day on long fairly straight roads including motorway driving and miss Daisy I’m not. Although I think the garage think I am. question, does the filter on the Kia have issues, before I commit.

Not posted for a while although regularly read topics. can't remember where to post new thread , here goes. My 06 plate back axle needed replacing recently, I got replacement from a scrappers and a mechanic fitted it, all went well and towed my caravan 300 miles with it, but, the speedo isn't working correctly, clocking 80 to sat navs 60 and 40 to sat navs 30, it also put roughly 70 more miles on the 300 journey. The mechanic reckons it was coincidental and cannot be anything to do with the replaced axle as it is down to sensors which aren't on that axle ! Any ideas would be grateful . I'm in Halifax west yorkshire wondering if a nearby place specialises in this rather than going to Kia.

you have put the wrong ratio diff in and there is a difference between the auto and manual diffs, the speedo is run off the gearbox and your engine is having to spin faster to get the same speed as the old diff did qhich is why your seeing higher speed reading than what your actually traveling I would advise not using 4wd until sorted as you will cause a lot of damage to the transfer box

I believe there will be a tag on both gearboxes with a number these need to both match to put it back to normal, or I belive you can swap the internals of the diff but don't hold me to that
