| Description of the problem | I had just purchased my sorento on july 18, 2020. On august 25,2020, i put it in the kia shop for the climate control blower(ac/heater blower). I hadn't made the 1st payment yet. The wiring harness had melted. The warranty company refused to pay for the repairs do to it was a recurring problem. That tells me that this has happen before i purchased the car. Now, ether the parts are defected or the shop does not know what they are doing. One thing is for sure, something is making the wiring over heat. |
