Why is my Kia Sorento ex Diesel stalling?
I had the same problem with my Sorento EX Diesel 2006 and the solution was an easy one.

Which is better Kia Sorento or Kia 4Runner?

Why did my Kia Sorento stop shifting to 4×4?
The transfer case stopped shifting into 4×4 due to lack of use, but still operated in 4×2 mode. One engine sensor needed replacing, along with normal hoses, and the fuel temperature senor and thermostat which I replaced myself. It also needed new shocks, which is normal for the age.
Is the Kia Sorento safe in the rain?
With the proper wet traction tires the Sorento feels very safe and controlled in the rain. Without proper winter tires it is terrible in snow and ice. As a used vehicle the first generation Sorento is a great bargain. Just make sure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced.
