What owners wrote
Driving on 2014 kia sorento with only 84,000 miles. Doing oil change on time I keep the receipts for records. Last friday while I was driving my car broke down in the middle of the intersection. Sounded like cranking engine rattling. Had to tow the car to my mechanic that told me the engine broke down. I did some research and kia had few unannounced engine recalls on my model. When I call kia they don't want to help at all. They don't want to take any responsibility.
Driving on highway going about 65MPH when I heard a load bang from the rear and felt hard jerk from car , I stopped the car looked underand saw fluid leaking from AWD coupling, took it in to kia fresno rear differential broken metal in differential fluid, differential replace but AWD coupling not replace. AWD still not working
