We bought a used 2016 Kia Sorrento. Upon driving, we realized that the seat belts were not tightening up on the driver's seat. We took the car into Kia in order to get the seat belt fixed.

This morning while driving on the highway I was unable to accelerate. It triggered an engine light & then went off. I have taken my car in for paid services a few months back just to be told to wait until my car knocks in order for them to replace the engine.

2016 kia sorento smells like vinegar or rotten spoil egg. Took it to where I got it from and they want me to pay 99.00 to air out the car. I refuse to pay that.
