What we see on this car

What we see on the Sorento

Engine knock or oil light

Some 2011 to 2019 Sorentos with the 2.4L or 2.0L turbo are known for engine bearing problems. Recall and extended coverage campaigns cover many. We diagnose it and point you to the right next step.

Car diagnostics

Wet carpet after a storm

We often see clogged sunroof drains after rainy season. Water can reach wiring under the carpet and cause odd electrical faults. Clearing the drains early prevents that.

Electrical repair

Clunk from the rear over bumps

Rear sway bar links and shocks are known wear items on the Sorento, especially when the third row is full.

Suspension repair

Back rows stay warm

Kids in the back feel the heat first. We check refrigerant charge, blower speed and the cabin filter so air reaches every row.

AC repair

Grinding brakes

A loaded Sorento eats front pads in stop and go traffic. We measure pads and rotors and show you what is left.

Questions people ask

Should I clean my sunroof drains?

Yes. Once a year before rainy season is a good habit, more if you park under trees. It is a quick job that can save you from wet carpet and electrical problems.

How do I know if my Sorento is part of an engine campaign?

Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov or with a Kia dealer, where recall work is free. If you hear a knock now, stop driving hard and let us diagnose it.

Can you check a Sorento after it sat in flood water?

Yes. If water came over the door sills, we check wiring, modules, fluids and the air intake. Do not keep cranking an engine that sat in deep water.
