Can Kia service save me money?

How do I know if my Kia drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Kia Sorento, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Kia Sorento differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Sorento?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Sorento’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Sorento check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Sorento’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Sorento?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Sorento. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Sorento.

Does my Sorento drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Sorento is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 2019 Kia Sorento Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Sorento's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Kia, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2019 Kia Sorento, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Kia's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
