How long has your 2003 Kia Sorento had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2003 Kia Sorento. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Escaping a/c refrigerant (Freon) appears as smoke - something within the system has ruptured allowing the refrigerant to escape..
*Hands-on* inspection / evaluation will be required to determine exact failure.
Since the a/c compressor has it’s own ‘independent’ drive belt - there is a ‘possibility’ the a/c compressor itself has locked and the belt has been ejected - however that should have produced a burning smell - which was not mentioned in your question.
In any event *hands-on* evaluations will be required - by qualified personnel.
Good luck!
