Model	SORENTO
Model Year	2013
File date	01/10/18

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Rear seat stuck. Rear passenger seat lever has always been a little hard to activate to raise or lower the seat. It took a combination of pulling the lever and giggling the seat to get it to engage. That little trick recently stopped working and my rear passenger side seat is now permanently stuck in the down position. I did an internet search on a way to fix the problem and found multiple complaints which indicates that this is a systemic problem with kia sorrentos. They'll warranty the power train for 100,000 miles but this seat only made it for about 50,000 miles.
