| Brackets that hold the rear end upper control arms are completely rusted into two useless pieces,,only the lower control arms and sidelink or canard is holding the rearend in place,,any torge applied could potentialy twist the rear causing catastophic damage,,obviously the metal is shit and with no weep holes salt,, water,, etc. hold in bracket,,shit metal,,i thought the handling felt bad,,and heard slight ,ever so slight clunking,,would never have suspected this untill to late except i was checking brake pads and noticed whoooaaa disconnected suspension,,now must grind off old brackets,fabricate new ones and weld on after freeing up upper control arm bolts,,not your normal mechanic work on a 6 year old car,,bullshit,,i fear what could happen to the unsuspecting normal person,,stay well clear of any sorentos you see on the road ,,and by all means inform any owners of these to check their upper control arms brackets,,,this should be a factory recall,,why should we (i) have to repair or junk an otherwise good car.ps any and all garages that inpect this car should be failing them and if there not they arent looking at the suspention well enough,,every one i checked 3 so far are in variously ill shape,not complete failure but so close,to call them unsafe again shit metal brackets,,other pieces of metal close by look brand new,,thanks,,i feel better now,,time to recall | |||

| My 2005 sorento, suv, begun to shake on the front and later stopped. i had a machanic check it for the main belt to be off and he said it was more major. the bolt had broken off in the motor. some cars from kia had already had that complaint. i called the kia headquarters and they said yes, but not a recall for that model doing it. well it is and i am still paying for something i can't use.???? | |||
