Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing serious issues such as blown head gaskets and backup camera failures. Symptoms of a blown head gasket include excessive oil consumption, poor idling, and bluish-white exhaust, along with signs like frothy or milky engine oil. Repairing a blown head gasket can be quite costly, with average repair costs around $7,000 for the 2015 model. Additionally, while backup camera failures were not specifically documented, they can occur due to technical malfunctions or wiring problems, leading to safety concerns when reversing. Owners experiencing these issues are advised to consult a professional mechanic or dealership for prompt diagnosis and repair to ensure vehicle safety and performance.
