5 star suv
I bought my 2004 kia sorento from a dishonest used car sales man, it was my first time buying a vehicle, I was nieve and was coned by this salesman into buying the 2004 kia sorento, OK now let me start off with this, I had to sink 2,500 upfront in repairs after spending 3,500 for the suv with 246,000k miles on it when I bought it, I have had to putt it in the repair shop 6 times now and I've only had it 7 months, sounds bad I know, but keep reading OK, sure it's been costly having my 2004 kia, but I've replaced a lot of parts and problems still didn't go away, well just last week my macanic finly found what's been causing the problems all along, it was a bad ecm aka ecu aka pcm, the suvs computer chip, this little part a 50 to 100 part If u get a used one has caused my poor little kia to stop dead on the road many times, but despite the issues I've had, this is by fair been a outstanding reliable suv, great on gas, great cargo space, I recently upgraded the radio in it, and it putt the factory speakers to full potential, the sound is amazingly awesome, big rich clear base and sound, now I want to let all 2004 kia sorento owners know, if your throttle position sincer isn't working, or stops working, have ur macanic check ur computer chip ak ecm in ur kia, if ur having sporadic issues such as engine randomly won't start, random drops in gas mileage, sporadic electrical issues, or any other sporadic issues, then have ur macanic do a hard look at ur ecm aka computer chip in ur kia, because good odds that's where ur problem is at, had I had known months ago that I had a bad ecm, I could have saved over 1,000 in tow bills, parts and repairs, but it has taken about 15 defrount diagnostics to determine that I have a bad ecm, crazy I know, but I would expect my kia to run at least another 100,000 if not 200,000 miles before any transmission work will need to be done, the engine a d transmission are both running like the kia is fresh and brand new off the lot, no issues with either of them, I would buy another kia just like the one I have now for the rite price, it's reliability is unbelievably amazing,
