ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, YOU SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER. THE ESC OFF LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT'S LIKE THE PEDAL IS NOT THERE. YOU COULD BE GOING 50 MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY DROP DOWN TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS A FEW CODES THAT COME UP: P2106 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-FORCED LIMITED POWER P2138. THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH "D"/"E" VOLTAGE CORRELATION. THERE ARE OTHER CODES THAT CAME UP BEFORE AND IT ALSO CAUSED THESE ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. SOMETIMES YOU CAN TELL ITS GOING TO TURN ON THE ESC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT AND GOING TO LOOSE POWER AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ALL OF A SUDDEN. WHEN RESEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH KIA ESPECIALLY THE SEDONAS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES, UNLESS YOU TAP THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, THEN IT STARTS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU STALL IN TRAFFIC AND CAN'T GET THE CAR STARTED. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE REQUIRE KIA TO DO A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HIT AND KILLED. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THANK YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
A YEAR AGO I DO RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER NOTIFYING FOR RUSTY LOWER ARMS WHEELS TO BE REPLACED BUT SUCH THING NEVER HAPPENED. THE DEALER JUST APPLY MORE RUST INHIBITORS BUT PROCEDURES WAS NOT THE APPROPRIATE CURE FOR THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON MOTION A VERY DISTURBING NOISE CAME JUST UNDER THE WHEELS. SEE PICTURES THEY ARE MORE SELF EXPLANATORY JUST THE DRIVER SIDE IT'S SHOWN DUE TO FILE LIMITATION.
