    Leased the car in march and by end of may it was ideling rough and clicking. Got a message on my screen engine control system failure and a check engine light came on. Took it onto the dealer and with less than 2900 miles it needs a new engine. Now it will be about 3 months (they are backlogged) until i get it back!!

    When pulling out or starting out the car hesitates making it very unsafe when pulling out in traffic. I have reported it to the kia service center, but they could not find anything wrong with it. It is very frustrating and unsafe. This has been going on since i purchased the car in may.

I keep getting told by dealer that kia is working on software fix for the problem and that all kia sorento's have same problem.

    Car has problem when driving in econo mode. Will hesitate when given gas in morning and at times when pulling out in traffic. Note never informed about the problem before leasing of car. Told by service department that is the way it was designed. May cause problems for other drivers or accidents. Note by mileage was never test driven after so called fix.
