2003 Kia SorentoVisitor, Brooklyn, NY, July 30, 2012 21:58Original owner 2003 Sorento EX 4x4 3.5L 4spd auto 75,000 miles. Love this car, plenty of leg room (I am 6'2), engine\tranny OK but electrical system sucks. Had to turn off the security alarm as it kept on draining the car battery, headlights and worst BREAK light bulbs keep on burning out, someone will rear end me one of these days because of that. The horn will stop working on some days for no reason. Will not buy a newer 2013 Kia any model based on a harsh ride and worst - electrical issues.Flag ThisLike0

2003 Kia SorentoDallasGal, Lewisville, TX, November 17, 2010 18:53I have a 2003 Kia Sorento EX w/ upgrades. I love the car but over the years and now with 125,000 miles there are lots of minor issues with trim, seating, carpet. The interior lights go on/off to where I lose the dashlights unless I jiggle the roller wheel on the driver's side. Kia dealership quoted me several hundred dollars to LOOK at this to tell me what was wrong and overall could be $500 or could be $1500+ of electrical repairs to fix the dashlights/interior lights. I replace headlights in my Kia about every six months. Engine is good and have had very little trouble with it. Noticed that AC this year is not working that well and does not get very cool. Have had to replace the water reservoir 3 times due to cracking. Suspension is good although I've had repairs done to the the suspension...very costly!EnthusiastFlag ThisLike | 2 people like this2
