I'll be calling my local Kia dealer tomorrow if I get time at work,

I own a june 2003 Kia Sorento which I bought last month from a dealer. It
had only 4000 km on the meter and had been used as demo.
Now before I go back to the dealer I have a question. If I use the cruise
controle it sometimes stop working and stoppes without any reason, like

I've been considering a 2004 Kia Sorento, however it seems that every
dealer I go to here in Southern California has what I call a bad
attitude (take it at "our" marked up price or get lost). I'm looking
for a 2004 (or a 2005) EX with the Luxury package, Anti Lock Brakes,

I am looking for assistance with my wife's '03 Sorento.  I am interested in
changing out the stock factory plugs with platinum tipped plugs but I am
having a little difficulty.  I can see where the plugs should be - between
the twin overhead cams on each bank of cylinders under the ...

I have a question regarding my 2002 Kia Sedona EX.  Directly below the
steering wheel at the bottom of the dash panel is a tiny red light
(maybe an LED).  I searched the owner's manual and didn't find
anything about it.  What's it for???

I own a Kia Sportage 1999, it's not a 4x4. Just before I go to shift
(4-speed) to a higher gear I hear a noise. It sound like metal vibrating on
