There has been known promblem with the 03- early 05 sorento of radiator fan staying on even after engine is turn off, it is claim to be a electrical malfuction in the engine termalstat. However you may just need to check your coolant level and fill it up as there is also a promblem to the sorento's having a leaking radiator coolant resevior too. Pretty much I own a 03 sorento, and it has been nothing but promblem, but glad I got rid of it. However like I said, check your coolant level, and fill it up with 50/50 coolant to recommended level. Should be able to solve the promblem, since it seems your engine is lacking coolant and is overheating, and the fan turn on automatic even after you have shut of your car to help cool it down.
This is a farily common issue. Located the fuse block under the hood and in there will be a relay for the engine cooling fan(s). There may be one for the A/C as well. Remove the suspect relay until the fan stops. Buy a new relay and you should be good to go .
Yes, Brian's answer is just right! Had the same problem. I guess I had all possible problems with my Sorento since 2003 :-)))
