| Description of the problem | Kia sorento less then 5000 miles water around vin number on dash also leaking into the floor. Dealer tried to say build of leaves around windshield is the cause. If that is the cause then there is a design problem with these cars. I believe they are saying that due to they can't not find out where the problem is. Also when car sits over night and it has rain the brakes scrub like they rusted overnight. Both of these problems were turned into the service department with out no determination as to why they are doing this. Also the service department trying to make up reasons for their own inept work. |
