What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 kia sorento. Approximately two weeks after the contact purchased the vehicle, she began smelling tar. The vehicle ws taken to the dealer, but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The failure recurred and the headlights burned out. The dealer replaced the headlights and stated that there was a recall; however, the contact did not receive any recall notice. Approximately three weeks ago, the failure recurred and the driver seat began to burn, jamming the driver side door.
Passenger side 2nd row seat was extremely difficult to fold down since the first day I bought it. Now it is stuck and will not fold down at all. The latch seems to be broken. My kids were stuck in the 3rd row seat until I could remove my baby's car seat base to lay down the driver side 2nd row to let them climb out. Had I been in a hurry to get them out it would have been impossible to do so.
