A/C must be on for engine to run correctly
Kia Sportage 2006 hatchback manual 105000 miles
I have had EGR valve, throttle body and associated sensors changed but now find that the A/C must be on for engine to run smoothly. If I turn it off, engine hesitates and mis-fires

Could be the clutch sensor. My kia garage done all what you have done and concluded that there is wear on clutch which makes it stutter in first 2 gears. When AC in on engine runs st a higher level and has no problem. They are replacing clutch sensor on warrenty to hopefully solve problem

Air conditioning compartment/Overheating
Kia Sportage 2003 Manuel 20000 miles
We brought our Kia 6 months ago and now its broken down. It started from making funny noises to overheating,not starting and their is no air conditioning compartment to help the fans cool the motor down. We were using nearly 4litres of oil in one to two weeks and filling the radiator 3 times a day and that still never helped as it still overheated,we used up a four litre coolant on an hours drive and still overheated. Then it started playing up by not starting. I honestly do not recommend buying a Kia as it has given me problems from the day I brought it.

Not going into 4 wheel drive
Kia Sportage 2013 119934 miles
No 4 wheel drive. Light comes on to say it is on but it is not. They say it is the coupler going to 4 wheel drive. Had same problem in 2016 and 2 years later same thing. Part costs 1,000. Having to fix this twice in 2 years is ridiculous. The vehicle is only 5 years old. This summer we had to fix the air conditioner which was over 700...Not pleased!! My husband spoke with Kia and they said it was not a recall even though others have complaine about it also.

Gurgling rattle sound in motor. Air and heat will not work
Kia Sportage 2008 ex v-6 70000 miles
My kia sportage never had really good AC but the heat worked great. Eventually the heater fan was barely blowing. Then we was driving down the road with vent on. Smoke started pouring from under hood. Now nothing works and it gurgles and knocks.
