In the 2016 Kia Sorento, common starting issues include the engine failing to turn over and the key getting stuck. It is recommended to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles. For optimal performance, the air filter should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Spark plugs typically need to be replaced at 100,000 miles, unless using copper ones, which should be changed every 30,000 miles. Engine problems can arise due to loose gaskets, loose spark plugs, oil leaks, or excessive oil consumption, necessitating immediate attention. One severe issue to watch for is engine overheating, which can potentially result in fires or even vehicle explosions.
My Sorento is having trouble recognizing the shifter in "park" which prevents it from starting. I've had to resort to using a screwdriver to depress the shift lock in order to start the car. Despite taking it to the shop twice for this issue, it has resurfaced once more.
Common issues with the 2016 Kia Sorento include difficulties starting due to a drained battery, a faulty alternator, or a malfunctioning starter motor.
