SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, PARKING BRAKE
ON A 2008 KIA SEDONA MY FRONT BRAKE DISC HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS DUE TO WARPING OF THE DISC. MY KIA NOW HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT WHICH IS ABOUT AVERAGE FOR MY DRIVING AS I AM RETIRED. IN ADDITION THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. IT WILL NOT PREVENT THE MINIVAN FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

MY 2008 KIA SEDONA ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES STARTING IN OCT 2009. I CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKE IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED, IF YOU'RE LUCKY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DEFECTIVE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY THE VAN GOES TO IDLE AND THERE IS NO THROTTLE CONTROL. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR UNLESS IT GOES BAD, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS ONE OF MANY THAT HAVE ALREADY PROVEN TO BE DEFECTIVE. WE HAVE 40 OF THESE MODELS IN OUR FLEET, WITH 20 OF THEM FAILED WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THAT IS A 50% DEFECTIVE RATE!! THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PROTECT THE CUSTOMER FROM POSSIBLE LIFE THREADING SITUATION. ESPECIALLY, SINCE THIS IS A SUDDEN UNEXPECTED OCCURRENCE THAT CAN ONLY HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS DENIED ACCOUNTABILITY TO PREEMPTIVELY FIX THESE VEHICLES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DEFECTIVE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CAUSES THE SEDONA VAN TO SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY STOP WITH NO THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT REPAIR UNTIL THE SENSOR FAILS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, CONSIDERING THAT THERE IS NO WARNING SIGNS, AND THE CAR HAS TO BE IN MOTION AT TIME OF FAILURE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY SHOULD THE FAILURE OCCUR AT HIGH SPEEDS OR IF IN A DRIVING SITUATION THAT REQUIRE ACCELERATOR. IF TOYOTA WAS FORCED TO RECALL CARS BECAUSE OF A SLOW, PROGRESSIVE, WEARING OF THE THROTTLE CONTROL, THEN THE NHTSA SHOULD CLASSIFIED THIS DEFECT AS AN EVEN MORE SERIOUS THREAT TO CUSTOMER SAFETY. OUT OF 40 VEHICLES IN OUR FLEET, 20 HAVE FAILED. THIS IS A 50% FAILURE RATE. *TR
