2012 Kia Sorento Owner Comments

problem #2

Sorento V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Bought this car because it has seven seats but can only really use the front two. The back seats flip up just fine but the middle seats are stuck in the down position.

Sorento EX 4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

Kia has gotten away with murder by not having a recall on the back seat problem of there Sorento. I have owned a 2012(which I am writing about) and a 2013 Kia Sorento. I sold the 2013. Putting the back seats up and down is hard and in my situation does not work anymore. everytime I have taken it to a dealer I have been told that is the way it is . Right now I have a Kia Sorento that sits three people. I just moved to Jersey

recently and am going to go to a dealer who will probably tell me the same thing. I like the Kia Sorento but

will not recommend it to an anyone in my family.
