Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing issues with their radio not functioning, often characterized by a lack of sound or hearing static. These problems may stem from faulty speaker wiring, a blown speaker, or issues with the radio itself. Owners have noted that adjusting the volume or tuning to a different station can sometimes help identify the cause of the malfunction.
