Kia Sorento AC condenser placement issue leads to frequent damage from road debris on Kia Sorento

Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing issues related to the placement of the AC condenser, which is positioned too low and is vulnerable to damage from road debris such as stones. This susceptibility to normal road hazards can lead to significant damage, impacting the performance of the air conditioning system. Despite these concerns, Kia denies liability for such issues, even though similar cases have resulted in successful class action lawsuits against other manufacturers. Owners have noted that damage to the condenser can lead to reduced cooling efficiency or complete failure of the AC system. Therefore, regular maintenance and prompt attention to any AC system issues are essential to prevent further damage or potential engine problems.
