(Daegu = Yonhap News) Reporter Son Dae-sung = Mr. A, who lives in Daegu, bought a Sorento hybrid car from Kia Motors last year.
Although I enjoyed my way to work and commute because of my love for the new car, I received some embarrassing news from the internet car club I recently joined.
The Sorento Hybrid, which was released in the second half of last year, requires a hole in the muffler.
Otherwise, it was a terrifying warning that the muffler could be filled with water and burst.
According to the owners of the Sorento hybrid car on the 21st and Kia Autokyu, the Sorento hybrid car muffler, which was released from March to December of last year, like the A’s car, showed a problem.
Condensed water is not discharged from the muffler and is accumulated, so if it freezes in winter, it may burst or block the exhaust, causing problems.
In fact, on the internet clubs where the owners of the cars are active, there have been articles saying that the water in the muffler burst due to freezing or that the muffler problem led to poor starting.
Kia Auto-Q is taking measures by drilling a hole in the muffler and draining water.
This news was made known through internet clubs, etc., and was officially made with the arrival of a notice to the owner.
From this month to July 5 of next year, Kia Autokyu decided to drill holes in the name of free repair.
The owners of the Sorento hybrid are protesting, saying, “Isn’t the design wrong from the start?”
Mr. A recently visited Kia Motors’ service center, AutoQ, and drilled a hole, but he said he did not feel unwell.
One owner said, “The problem is that we didn’t expect such an error from the beginning,” and “I wonder if it will be solved by making a hole rather than replacing the muffler.”
An official from a Kia Autokyu branch said, “It is true that the Sorento Hybrid that was released last year has such a problem,” he said. “You can check the vehicle number and come to repair it.”
