Description of the problem | After already replacing a crankshaft and a speed sensor in my 2004 kia sorento ex, i am now experiencing a knocking sound under the hood. It usually starts while waiting for a stop light but also while driving down the road. My warranty is out and i can't afford to have it worked on at this point. Don't ever buy a used kia sorento without checking carfax first!!!! |
