Why is my Kia Sorento making a strange noise while driving?

It's possible that the noise is coming from a loose belt or a faulty pulley. These are fairly easy and inexpensive fixes, so I would recommend taking your Sorento to a mechanic to have it checked out. It's always better to address any potential issues early on rather than letting them escalate into bigger problems.

Another common cause of strange noises in a Kia Sorento is a worn out wheel bearing. This is a more serious issue and should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent any further damage to your vehicle. I would advise taking your car to a reputable mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

If the noise is accompanied by any shaking or vibrations, it could be a sign of a failing transmission or differential. I highly recommend getting your Sorento inspected by a professional as soon as possible to avoid any costly repairs down the line.
