Description of the problem	I bought my 2008 kia sorento 11/11/2008. In march 2009, i started to notice a compression type noise and it occurs every 3-5 seconds. The kia dealership has had this vehicle several times, but can't figure out the issue. This is an ongoing and still current issue. It's very inconvenient to take my vehicle to the dealership every other week just to hear that they can't figure out the issue. The kia dealership can not tell me if it a safety issue. If the dealership service tech's can't figure out the problem, then how do i know if my family is safe in this vehicle?
