| Description of the problem | I just had to replace the lower ball joints in my 2013 sorento sx with only 60,000 miles on it. They were in bad shape, and made noises when turning corners or going over bumps. Ball joints should last far longer than this. I see many canadian sorentos had a ball joint recall. Brakes are spongy, too. I have replaced the brakes, and had the fluid checked for air, but still not a solid feel to it. |
