| Description of the problem | Our 2005 kia sorento has been in the shop for over 185 days due to front,rear,brake and running light issue. The brake lights go out every two or three weeks and the other on a monthly basis. The throttle control along with the transmission and radio have been repaired at least five times each and good motor company of rockhill south carolina cant seem to find anything that would cause the problem. Kia motors is no help and cant seem to put two and two together to see the other 20 complaints with the same problems. I'm stuck with a 10 year warranty on a lemon. |
