Report: Software Update Available to Correct Transmission Issues
Kia Sorento Problem
Model Years Affected: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Drive Trains Affected: 2WD, 4WD
Average Mileage: 35,250 mi (25,000 mi - 42,000 mi)
Reprogramming the transmission control module with the latest Kia transmission software may fix abnormalities in the automatic transmission and erroneous transmission-related Check Engine Light illumination. Software updates are commonly most effective on newer vehicles. Higher mileage vehicles may exhibit a similar symptom caused by a component failure. However, whenever major transmission repairs are performed the transmission software should be checked and updated as necessary.

Sluggish movement when you shift to drive. I think it start with the 3rd gear and the check light comes on.
