Passenger door causes all looks to lock SolvedSolved

Kia Sorento 2004 Sorento 6cyl 100000 miles
When opening or closing the front passenger door, occasionally all the door locks will engage! I have been locked out so much I have to carry a spare key. Any suggestions on a simple repair?

Your lock actuator in the passenger door is faulty.

When cold won't start right away

Kia Sorento 2013 Automatic 65000 miles
When first attempting to start in cold weather the engine will not engage. All lights are on and ready to go. After turning the key many times it will eventually engage the engine.
I've had it checked out but because it starts perfectly after it's warmed up I can't find anything wrong. Could it be a bad ground?

Same issue here. Will not start when weather is in 30’s-40’s. All dash lights come on. Battery fine.
As soon as weather warms up to 60’s, starts right up.

I’m having the same issue with my 2011 Sorento. It only happens on the first start of the day in cold weather. Any ideas?

Electrical electrical system was completely shut down.

Kia Sorento 2008  75000 miles
The electrical system was completely shut down. Lights, gauged all completely dead. I messed with the shifter, brakes battery. Nothing. Thought I would try one more time before calling for help. Everything was back on, started easily. What could cause a shut down like that.

The same issue with my 2003 Kia Sorento. I am guessing it is a short in the wiring somewhere. Any advise?

Same thing here with 2008 Kia Sorento.
Had low power, like dead battery, tried to jump it and it shut down completely.

4wd not engaging.

Kia Sorento 2008 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?
