Sounds like the acctulor isn't fully engaugeing the axles to make it FWD. Or you have a bad CV-Joint going out. Good Luck.

4wd not engaging.
2008 Kia Sorento Manual 110000 miles
I drove on to wet grass on a very slight incline. I went to switch to from 2wd to 4w Hi and nothing happened (no orange light). I drove forward/backwards expecting into the come on but nothing. I then tried 4w Lo but the green light kept flashing. I had rear wheels spinning but the front wheels were doing nothing. I ended up having to be pulled out from the wet grass. An hour later I switched my to 4wHi whilst stationary on tarmac and it changed. Does it need traction on the wheels to engage 4wd?

Four-wheel drive failure
2007 Kia Sorento 62000 miles
Good morning, the four-wheel drive works only at some moments. When the last position from the selector 4x4 (bottom to top) is set, the 4wd indicator lights blins and the four-wheel drive does not work. What might be the failure and possible solutions? I have read that, if the four-wheel drive is not used regularly, this usually happens. Is it true? Thanks for your answers.

Hi, buddy. I have the same problem and bought the module that controls the four-wheel drive, but without any positive solution. However, I've just been told that I need to reset the new module so that the failure disappears.
Hello, everyone. I tell you that I had exactly the same problem you are mentioning and, after buying a new module as well, I consulted with a person who reads automobile electrical diagrams, who determined that the problem was not the module, but a reprogramming that needed to be made to the computer with a scanner. The four-wheel drive has been working perfectly since then. Hope it helps.
In rettilineo la macchina funziona bene sia con le ridotte che con le lunghe, partendo da fermo con le ruote sotto sterzo si sente come un innesto sul ponte posteriore e la ruota anteriore esterna alla sterzata tende a slittare, rimettendo in dritto il problema non si presenta
CommentCar hesitates then dies
2012 Kia Sorento Kia Sorento 86000 miles
My kia starts hesitating when pressing the gas. When this happens, the 4WD light comes on and sometimes stays on then my car dies. Sometimes it's hard to get it started again and sometimes it starts up just fine afterwards. I have taken it tooi a Kia dealer twice. They replaced my computer module the first time and told me if it doesn't fix the problem they would need to change the throttle. Went I went back the 2nd time, they said there were no codes coming up so didn't do anything.

Same here- they said they had to download new software, but after a $380 bill, it still does this- happens 5 minutes after I start the car, every time!
Any update on this issue ? I’m having the same problem and I guess it is the awd mode does anyone knows where is it located ?

CommentClimatizzatore che non raffresca
2007 Kia Sorento 2.5 4 wd 170 hp 149750 miles
Ciao a tutti. Ho una Kia sorento 170 hp 4wd . Il clima all'improvviso ha smesso di raffrescare l'abitacolo. Ho ricaricato il gas ma comunque non va. La ventola dell'aria condizionata non parte mentre sembra funzionare tutto, dalle bocchette di aereazione al quadro comandi. Il compressore sembra partire (quanto meno aumentano i giri del motore all'inserimento....)
