Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing recurring sensor activation issues while driving, even after previous repairs. These problems may stem from faulty sensors, such as parking sensors, which can become overly sensitive, particularly when the vehicle is stationary in traffic. Some users have found that turning off a sensor that detects movement in an empty, locked vehicle can help mitigate these issues. Diagnosing and fixing these intermittent problems can be challenging, especially if the owner is far from a dealership. Additionally, Kia has issued recalls related to sensor issues, such as the SC214 and NHTSA Campaign Number 21V519000, which could be pertinent. For those facing persistent problems, a thorough check and potential replacement of the sensors is advisable to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the Kia Sorento.
