Engine failure doesn’t commonly happen on the 3.3. The one common issue you have missed is a faulty 4wd coupler causing vibration when starting from a stop.

Own a 2015 Sorento EX, purchased it almost 3 years ago when it had 95,000 miles on it. Was extremely hesitant to purchase a vehicle with that many miles on it, but it was one owner, very well taken care of and had all maintenance records and Carfax report was clean. I now have 153,000 miles on it and have literally had 0 issues with it and runs and drives like brand new. Obviously, I keep up with regular maintenance and don’t drive it like crazy but love my sorento!

[@jojoba619]

I’ve owned a 2017 Sorento for almost 4 years now and have experienced very few issues. Other than routine maintenance and a brake job, I haven’t had to take it into the shop. It’s been the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned.

[@bassinbillRC5300]

I bought the V6 model (2019) I'm very satisfied with it.

Bought the 2016 Kia Sorento, had it for about 4 years just hit 95k miles, did my regular maintenance, I was heading towards Vegas with my wife, all of a sudden, check Engine light came on at 10pm middle of no where. The car started to slow down didn’t have any service, had to walk to the gas station, tow the car back home which costed 1k bucks. Took the car to the kia service shop, and found out that the we needed a new Engine!!! Rod bearings gave out.. really disappointed. Not sure if it’s going to be under manufacture warranty.

It should be covered. There’s a warranty bulletin out there for that exact issue.

In regards to engine faliure and a new recall. If you contact kia there was a new recall that addresses the engine faliure of bottom end lubrication. It is a liftime extension of warranty even to second owners. You mayneed to dig deep and call multiple dealerships for them to find the exact documentation on it. Anyways I was the second owner of a 120k sorento and i got a free engine out of the deal! Dont give up on it!

[@tennesseetexan1957]

I have a 2015 Kia Sorento EX v6 that I purchased in 2015 with 28k miles. It is now 2023 and I have 240k miles on it & it drives like new. I had issues when it was about 80k miles that warranty mostly covered ( 2 alternators, the motherboard and the EVO radio which also controls the backup camera). The last 160k miles have been relatively trouble free except for routine maintenance. I have had the headlight bulb issue but found using bulb grease helps longevity by giving a better connection.

[@deniseharris8381]

Wow thank you. I have a 2014 Kia Sorrento have all the issues you mentioned. I’ve had to replace bulbs at least 4 times within a short space of time. When I drive it does make the rattling sound. I’m fearing I’ll need to replace the engine (which is covered under warranty) but the wait at the dealership is over 2 weeks. They said if I drop it off it will take 2 weeks… this is frustrating

I know there have been problems and recalls for the first few years, but I figured the 2019 and 2020 models should be all sorted out as long as proper maintenance was done regularly. I was really considering trading in my 2015 Sportage LX AWD with less than 110,000 km (69000 miles) for a Sorento V6 EX AWD, preferably a 2020 with lower mileage than mine, so I can tow a 3000lb trailer, plus whatever is in the car. Would you advise against that? These issues seem minor if the oil is topped up and changed often.

[@John-wx9pe]

Found myself here because of #5 - total engine failure due to lack of oil (and lack of warning - oil pressure light.). If you buy a 3rd Gen Sorento make sure you get the software update specifically for this issue - you will have a lifetime warranty on your engine. The 4 Cylinder Sorento engines burn oil after 50k miles and you will not be warned about low oil pressure. Learn from my mistake - my engine wasn’t covered. Frankly, I’d just stay away from these cars altogether but if you do buy one, get the update.

[@AlmightyFigshoop]

Apologies for the noob question, how do you get the update

[@tisoyaga]

I found that the headlights would last a lot longer on KIA’s if you don’t slam the hood down hard. I learned this from frequent light changes on a Optima and Sorrento and once I did not slam the hood down problem went away.

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

I don't buy the headlight theory that the wiring resistance is too low. The headlight bulbs are designed for a specified voltage range of alternator voltage for all 12V vehicles. The problem can only be that the alternator control of output is poor, or possibly the headlight units are sufering a high degree of vibration or physical shock. I am an electronics engineer

[@brendenaerosmithfarr8226]

The ones with the 3.3 V6 are prone to oil leaks. Most commonly from the oil pressure switch. Kia extended the limited warranty for 2014-2018 sorentos with the 3.3 V6 from 5 yrs /60,000 miles to 15 yrs/ 150,000 miles whichever comes first to address the oil pressure switch issue

[@mleonard1223]

Is that for US only or Worldwide ?

[@jameslang6141]

FYI; class action lawsuit in the US was settled for 3/4 of a billion and another lawsuit pending in Canada related to engine failure in Kia cars/SUVs for certain years. Main culprit seems to be 2.0 litre GDI which is prone to total failure. Just happened to me. 2015 Kia Sorento with only 62,000 km (about 40,000 miles). Kia Motors authorized dealer to replace the engine with a new one. Probably a $10,000 repair job if I had to pay for it. Apparently the problem is metal debris from manufacturing process clogging the oil ports you showed, leading to bearing failure at which point the engine self-destructs. Oil changes and top ups are not going to prevent this. But be sure to change oil regularly as Kia asks to see records that this has been done.

[@thomasnewbery7449]

Yes, and the same problem was reported (recall-wise) for the 2014 + Hyundai Sonata. Every owner should have gotten an extended warranty guarrantee. Mine ran flawlessly for 75,000 miles. I had just put on new tires and an oil, filter, and cabin filter and a woman rear-ended the car at ~40 MPH. Totaled it! This is the worst time to buy/replace what had been a great car!

And just recently my connecting rod bearings started to fail. Ran perfect and I did my own oil changes to be sure I knew what was being done. I only ran penzoil full synthetic with mobile one filter. Noticed shavings on my last change then not even 2 weeks and it started knocking at start up and acceleration so it's been parked ever since

Have a 2007 Rondo LX 2.4L made in Korea. No major issues. Still runs like a clock, but routine maintenance is key. Kia's made stateside have less quality control IMO.

[@thomasnewbery7449]

The voltage output of the alternator could be too high OR not enough heat is being dissipated from the bulb by its socket OR both. I'd check the alternator /regulator output with a 'scope. If that's OK, I'd try to get rid of more heat from the bulb by using thermal- conducting grease (like they use to mate a transistor/FET to its heatsink) on the socket's contacts, both electrical and metal-to-metal. I'd also try to increase the area of the metal flange of the socket to do the same if the grease doesn't help. Maybe the"harness replacement" could work because they've re-designed the socket/harness to dissipate the heat. All any wire can do is resist the flow of electrons. The thicker the wire the more current it can pass without causing a "voltage drop" (e.g. heat). To say the harness/wires are allowing too much current to the bulb is misleading. That implies that the manufacturer intended the wire to act as a "resistor" between the alternator and the bulb. I'ts more likely that the manufacturer skimped on the size of the wire to save a few bucks! Copper aint cheap no more! It's the load (the bulb's filament resistance) which establishes the demand for the alternator's/battery's current in the circuit. Perhaps the manufacturer of the bulb decided he wanted a brighter output and threw caution to the wind... or it's a cheap filament for the specified/required output (China?). Then again, perhaps it's the initial surge of current hitting that filament, causing it to break after so many cycles of off-to-on. To combat that, I'd insert a "choke" to slow that in-rush of current. Yes, I can get pretty deep but 65 years in electronics will do that to ya! Good luck all!

[@andybub45]

About the airbag light, some of the Sorentos have warranty extensions for certain airbag related issues. I’d stop by the dealer first to see if it is covered.

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

Thanks man, great video. God forbid but mine has not had any of those issues. I believe mantainence is the secret to keep anything and everything going smooth. Stay on top of that and you will have no major issues. I got a letter in the mail for engine fires though on the I4 and they are doing lifetime engine warranty and reimbursement for engine work. Mine has treated me great so far. I only use valvoline oil simply because they have been around since the beginning of automobile existence they have learned the most and oil is responsible price

I drive a 2015 Kia Sorento LX(base model) like this and I have abt. 79,000 miles on it now. Bought it used with 60,000 miles. Once I hit around like 75,000 miles, I was driving on a long highway and all of a sudden, I heard a boom clank! And then engine light came on. It wasn’t going even though I was pressing the gas and I was in the middle lane which was scary but eventually got to shoulder of road. It wouldn’t drive past 25 mph. We took it to family friend mechanic and they said it was a broken knock sensor. Was about to pick it up the next day and said there’s more issues with it that they couldn’t figure out. We had it towed to Kia dealership. KIA SORENTO 2015 HAVE ENGINE RECALLS!! the people at Kia said “yea that happens a lot” um! Pls check and make sure yalls engines are up to date! They replaced my whole engine with no charge. Also, when I got the car two years ago, I immediately switched the lights and had them customized to a brighter bulb which makes it so much better to see. The Kia Sorento lx 2015 had a poor rating in headlights.

[@jonmccormick8683]

LED bulbs generally do not run on 12v so there is a DC to DC inverter to get the correct LED voltage built in. = The changing range of input DC (for this KIA) is buffered somewhat = much less voltage fluctuation (if any) going to the bulbs. You could also try some "conductive grease" on the OEM connections. = quality led bulbs should fix this situation.

These Kia V6 motors like clean oil and full trust me I have the 3.5 in my 2012 sedona and it makes that noise on start up if they oil is not always full. If you want this engine to last a long time try not to do short trips in the city. If you live in a cold place in the winter make sure to plug in the block heater and synthetic oil is a must!

Also even when it rains heavy towards night time I don't trust driving it. I replaced the bulbs this week and still seems to be a problem. Has less than 24k miles on it. The only adjustment is for the headlights to go left and right. Not up and down..... HELP!

The Sorento shown in this video looks older than the newest gen, or even the second newest gen of Sorento. Could you tell us what year the one shown is?

Could never get an answer throughout my search, so here it goes. My 2015 Kia Sorento does Not have the Horn/Beep sound when locking doors, any information on what can be the problem will be very helpful.

If the 4 cylinder engine dies, it's covered by the court settlement. Look it up online. It's unlimited mileage (Yes really) and covers the 4 cylinder 2.4 and 2.0T through 2017 at least.

[@jimmydepanama8294]

do you know if its only in USA or canada aswell? also is it only if you OWNED a kia at that time or let's say I would buy a kia sorento 2017 2L turbo I would have a free engine for life?
