The main problem that often arises when starting a 2017 Kia Sorento, and possibly with many other vehicles, is a dead battery. This can present in various ways, so it's important to check it first. If your Sorento starts after being jump-started by a jump box or another vehicle, then the battery is likely the culprit. The reasons for this could be an aging battery that can't hold a charge, a malfunctioning alternator, or a component draining power when the Sorento is parked and turned off. If the battery isn't the issue, you might be dealing with faulty spark plugs, a problematic starter, or other engine issues.
Issues with the starter, relay, alternator, or battery can arise in the 2017 Kia Sorento.
I drive a 2017 Kia Sorrento, and after checking, I confirmed that the battery is in good condition. Occasionally, I encounter issues where the car doesn't start, but I discovered that opening and closing the doors a few times can help it start. It may take repeating this process 3 to 5 times before the car finally starts up.
My 2017 Kia Sorento has a healthy battery. It starts without any issues, but there seems to be a persistent sound coming from the starter.
