Hi, I have a Kia Sorento 2012, 2.4 PFI gasoline engine. A week ago lights started flickering, but only when idle and not always. Also, sometimes, when making lights change or activating any other electric devices, the radio (audio only) goes out for a second. I haven't identified a pattern or conditions for this to occur.
Already tested the battery and the alternator but and everything is working fine.
The only thing I need to do is test it while this is happening.
Maybe anyone got through...

So I have a sound coming from my 2011 Kia Sorento EX V6 that is occurring more and more frequently, and I really need help figuring it out. The local dealership, as well as my local mechanic, all don't seem to have a clue as to what it is. I am hoping someone can help identify it so I don't need to pay a mechanic a ton of money to try to figure out what it is.

So for any other DIY’ers out there, I just wanted to share my experience replacing the 3.5 in our 2012 awd ex. It was definitely not fun to say the least, but well worth saving the money. I found it easiest to remove the entire assembly out the bottom still on the engine cradle. The only issues I ran into mainly were alternator reinstall after new engine was installed in the car, and finding correct gaskets for the exhaust. Other than that and the fact this thing is stupid heavy, if you have...

Hello guys.
I am having a problem with my Sorento 2.2L CRDI 2013 concerning Oil and Carbon Deposit Problem:
Got an engine light, went to dealer, diagnosed throttle assembly error
Dealer mechanic attributed throttle assembly failure due to thick carbon deposit. Despite mechanical cleaning, had to replace by new part.
Vehicle running fine afterwards (after some bizzarre holding of high gears/then holding to low gears (ECU learning?))
-CAUSE of problem was not...

Greetings everybody
I have a Kia Sorento 2013 with a very annoing noise coming from the back interior. It is a noise like plastic rubbing plastic which basically sound when i pass a speed bump with the back tires.
I managed to identify the problem coming from the tailgate latch, when i close the tailgate, it seems to stay loose. I tried putting some duct tape on the metal hook and it seems to hold the door in place. No more problems.
Is it possible to adjust the rubber stoppers on the...

Hello everyone. This is my first post here, I hope to get helpful information on the issue I'm about to start.
I drive a 2012 sorento. Few months back from now, each time the speed is around 30 to 70 km/hr the car vibrates with heavy banging underneath it as if the propeller shaft is loose or misaligned. But when the speed is 80 and above, everything becomes normal.
I have changed some front parts still no solution.
I look forward to some helpful response.
Regards.
