Hi Everyone
I have owned a 2005 Kia Sorento XS Auto 2.5 CRDi for some 10 years. It is a great Tow Car. Having read the Threads on this site (which appear to be few) I feel it would be helpful to other owners to provide you with a link to my Home Forum which specialises in all Kia Sorentos 2002 onwards.
Current Headlines from the Forum are:
- Membership Benefits
- Problems being rectified Free by Kia
- Problem with the new 2010 onwards Sorento Clutch
- Campaigns
- A new Board, specifically for Forum ‘Membership Feedback, Improvement Suggestions etc.’

Here is a link to my Home Forum, UKSorento: http://kiasorento.proboards.com/

If you are not already a Member on my Home Forum you will need to register to gain access - no problem though, it is FREE with absolutely no strings; help is also given if you have forgotten your previous access details.

Once in, the best place to start is here: http://kiasorento.proboards.com/thre...ary-newsletter
This is a NEWSLETTER which identifies some current problems and campaigns in the UK which may be of interest/help to Sorento owners. Although we are smaller at ~8000 members, we do focus on the Sorento only and have a Worldwide Membership.
I hope that UKCampsite Members find this helpful.

Regards, bogwort47, UKSorento Admin Support Team.

We have an o4 model, it had delamination of the fuel tank, ( A known problem ),I was quoted 1000 for a replacement, after a bit of research I contacted Kia and they replaced the fuel tank for free, very pleased as a good tow car :)

Hi bogwort47.
Kia did them at the same time as the tank, They were very good, you hear so many stories about poor after sales, but Kia are great, once you talk to them. I was very pleased as could have just paid to have the work done, After all its an old car,the joy of the net !!! lol

Hi Everyone

As might be expected the situation is getting worse with the rear axle bracket corrosion - well over 1/2 of Sorentos now need new brackets and some owners are having to wait 12 weeks because of bracket supply problems.

All the latest news is here: http://kiasorento.proboards.com/thread/11187/contd-poll-extent-rear-corrosion?page=19

See page 1 of thread if this new to you

Registration is needed to gain access - no problem though it is free with no strings...

Regards...

Hi again to everyone who has a Kia Sorento or would like to have one.

Just a quick note to let you know that the UKSorento.com Forum has issued a Newsletter for November 2015. Quite a bit has happened of late and the Forum has undergone a re-organisation.

Please drop in and get the latest news – There are some bargain Sorentos out there at present for the knowledgeable.

Access to the ‘Welcome Board’ is open to all and Free Registration gives access to all the detail stuff.

Hope you find it interesting and useful.

Regards, Admin 1, http://kiasorento.proboards.com/

I am not a trader.

I am a retired aerospace engineer who is a volunteer moderator on an independent owners forum for the Kia Sorento. I have run a Kia Sorento 2.5CRDi Auto XS since it was less than 2 months old and currently tow a Lunar Saros SI.

The Forum has no connection with Kia. No one knows everything and we just hope that by sharing we are stronger.

Hope this explains...

Regards...

Hi Hutch

Nothing has come up on the Tow Bar that I am aware of. However, now that you have raised the issue I'll keep an eye open.

Thanks...
