Hi,
I purchased a 2007 2.5 CRDI XE sorrento in October 2011 from a used car dealer. Within 2 days I had reported 2 faults (one was resolved by having a fuel filter fitted) and the other was an ongoing problem (high pithced noises at certain revs).
For months the car went back and forth between different garages within the dealership but nothing was getting done about it. Eventually in June 2012 the turbo blew, and they replaced the turbo for me free of charge as it had been an ongoing problem. They said I had a 12 months warranty on the turbo.
Now 9 months later, the turbo has gone again. I spoke to them and they said its not down to them to repair the turbo and to speak to Kia. Where do I stand on this? Why would Kia repair the turbo for me? The car has only done 3k miles since the turbo was replaced.
I have spoken to 3 mechanics and they all said the dealer should put a new turbo on and find out what has caused 2 of them to fail.
Thanks
