As the proud owner of a 2012 Kia Sorento, it's important to stay informed about any potential issues that may affect your vehicle. While some cars of this model year have been recalled due to machining errors causing premature bearing wear, there have been no recalls specifically related to the alternator. However, it's still possible for problems to occur. Signs that your alternator may be failing include dimming headlights, a weak or dead battery, sluggish dashboard accessories, engine stalling, engine noises, or a lit-up battery indicator. If a replacement is necessary, be prepared to spend between $578 and $1275 for a new alternator.
