Description of the problem	I purchased 2013 kia sorento 2. 4 gdi last month. It vibrates and shakes at idle speed from day one. I was told by sales person that it will stop after driving for few miles. Now i have 1500 miles on it but it continues to vibrate at idle speed whether in gear or in park position. I called the dealership they say there was software upgrade for certain manufacture dates but it doesn't look like it applies to me based on my purchase date. But they say bring it in and we will check it. I am planning to go this week. Searching the web, it looks like lot of people have this issue. I hope it brings attention to kia motors and they provide some fix.
