Description of the problem | February 21, 2013 los angeles, ca electrical i bought my kia brand new. I have had several problems: complaint 1: i am writing this complaint against kia motors who willingly knows of issues with its fuel systems in all 2004 kia sorentos. Even looking online you see thousands of kia owners who have had the sensor go out on this model car after the cars 100000 warranty, and then kia claims it is past the warranty they have and there is nothing they can do. This causes the gas to always read incorrectly even with a full tank the car reads "e" i have to keep putting gas in the car in fear of running out of gas. |
