on the following pages 15 to 24 are listed what componets are warrantied by kia either for 2/24 or 96 months/80
items like exhaust maniflods, ingition coils, crankshaft and cam positioners sensors, as well as almost all other sensors including vehicle speed sensor arn't covered after 2/24
also on page 3 is a graph of what is covered by time and milage
this is my understanding of warranties in my manuel
if Kia basic warranty exceeds the federal standard warranty for these items i can't find it written anywhere
i guess if you called your Kia dealer and ask them and you trusted their answer
i certainly should think if one of my ignition coils failed at 59k it would be warranty, but somehow i think Kia would use the federal warranty to say "no warranty after 2/24"
Kia sorento had a re-fresh for 2007, it will get the new 3.3 litre lambda engine and a bit more refinement. In my opinion it looks almost the same, except a bit cleaner. Overall, I think it looks great!!
We have the luxery package which comes with Torque on Demand. With this option you have, 4WD low and Auto 4WD. I'm wondering if there is an aftermarket way of forcing full time 4WD. It seems like full time 4WD gives a lot better traction during the winter storms we get.
Thanks,

You need to get it from the front. I know some cars that you can replace bulbs inside the car trunk. For Sorento, you need to remove the lens assemble first.
See this tail light lens assemble
Although the Sorento is still good looking, many features are missing or outdated when compare with many new Hyundai/Kia vehicles these days. I would like to see the stability and traction control, standard ABS, etc. I think 3500 lb. is the towing capacity for many mid-size SUVs these days.
I have been discussing for few days with some of my friends regarding Sorento's capabilities on off-road tracks as well as on snow. I happen to own an EX 2.5 CRDI with part time 4W. I have never had any problems but lately I have seen some local news about Sorentos' being towed by Cherokees in snow. I did not want to believe it and then my friends started saying that Sorento did not have necessary apparatus for being considered a proper off roader. They even tease me saying it is just a car like Sportage, CRV etc. One of them even said it is a big station wagon. Tried to defend Sorento but they told me it does not have a diff lock and a special transmission for offroading. Any opinions on that will be appreciated.
If they still don't believe you, don't worry because that just shows Kia not only has "The Power To Surprise" but the Power to make Jeep Lovers ENVY. Moreover, if they still are talking s*** than show them the soon to be SUV to compete with that Hummer wanna be Commander it let them envy this big baby. http://www.babez.ed/kia/mesa.php I sure this Kia has a part time 4WD with a power liftgate. The Kia Sephia times are dead. About the Sportage, tell them it just won the JD Power and associates award for least problems than any SUV in it's class, did the Liberty win?

Only question I have about the 07' Sorento is will the automatic leveling device be available or not?
I would not be happy in :confuse: less car just for 25mpg.
thanks
So don't sell this great truck: learn how to more economically drive it (unless stop and go commuting makes that impossible...)
