Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing difficulty starting their vehicle in cold weather, even after service attempts. Common issues contributing to this problem include a dead 12v battery, which is often a primary cause of starting difficulties in low temperatures. Additionally, corrosion on battery terminals can disrupt the flow of electricity, preventing the car from starting smoothly. Some owners also find that a dead key fob battery can lead to starting problems. If the issue persists despite replacing relays, it is advisable to have a professional inspect these components to ensure they are functioning properly and to effectively diagnose and resolve the issue.
