ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE A DETACHED GARAGE, AT 4:00 AM OUR DOG WOKE US UP TO HER BARKING. SHE COULD HEAR THE VAN HORN BLOWING. WHEN I TOOK HER OUT, I SAW THE VAN LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE HORN WAS BLOWING. I COULD NOT STOP THE HORN WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE. I WOKE UP MY HUSBAND, WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR THE DASHBOARD WAS ALL MELTED, WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED, THE A/C UNIT GOING UP THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS ALL MELTED. HE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE TO OPEN THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE MECHANISM TO OPEN THE HOOD WAS ALL MELTED AS WELL. THE VAN WAS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY SENT US $3900. THE VAN WAS IS GREAT SHAPE FOR BEING 11 YEARS OLD. WE HAD THE VAN SERVICED AS SCHEDULED AND IT WAS ALWAYS KEPT IN THE GARAGE. WE BOUGHT THE VAN NEW AND STILL LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE AS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. SO WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THE VAN. WE WANTED TO CHECK AND SEE IF THERE WERE ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS PENDING. WHEN WE RAN A SEARCH ON OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE WERE SEVERAL LISTED. SOME JUST AS OURS WAS, DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I DON'T HAVE THE VIN AT THIS TIME BUT I CAN FIND IT AT HOME IN OUR INSURANCE CLAIM. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE US IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED. IT DROVE JUST FINE FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAD GAS IN THE VEHICLE. EVENTUALLY, IT CAME TO A POINT WHEN IT WOULD RUN WHEN IT WANTED TO AND STALL WHEN IT WANTED TO. I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE STATION TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT. THEY GAVE ME A COUPLE OF OPTIONS WHAT IT COULD BE, BUT TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE ONLY 75% SURE AND IT WAS GOING TO COST NEARLY $1000 TO FIX. WELL, I DIDN'T HAVE $1000 TO FIX SOME PARTS THAT THEY ARE ONLY 75% SURE ABOUT. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT IN TOWN AND IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND DRIVE AS IT PLEASED. AT THIS POINT, IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURNOVER, BUT WON'T START. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS VEHICLE PROBLEM. CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE?

AIR BAGS, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
MY AIRBAG LITE HAS BEEN TURNING OFF AND ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES..EG. LITE TURNS ON AND IS ON FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 SECONDS THEN TURNS OFF. NOW, 11/17/2014 WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE IT, THE LIGHT WENT ON AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE WHEN THE IGNITION IS ON. I WANTED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW BUT THEY ARE OUT OF BUSINESS. TODAY ON FOX NEWS I HEAD WHERE THEY ARE HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH SEAT BELTS ON DIFFERENT CARS. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. I LOVE THE CAR AND WANT TO KEEP IT. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN GREAT!! PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT I SHOULD DO. THANK YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING TO THE GAS STATION TO GET SOME GAS THE CAR DIED. AFTER A TWO MINUTE WAIT, WE RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM.. THIS DID HAPPEN ONE OTHER TIME TWO WEEKS BEFORE AND IT SHUT OFF APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. THERE WAS PLENTY OF FUEL IN THE SYSTEM. AGAIN, WAITED A MINUTE AND IT RESTARTED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER AS A GIFT ON JANUARY 2014 FROM AL SERRA NORTH CHEVROLET USED CAR LOT. THEY OFFERED SAFETY INSPECTION ALONG WITH TEST DRIVE. I JUST TOOK IT BACK TO AL SERRA CHEVROLET FOR A 90 DAY COMPLIMENTARY SAFETY CHECK WITH ALL FLUIDS TOPPED OFF. THEY SAID ALL WAS FINE. I CAN BET THE ELECTRONICS WAS NOT EVEN CHECKED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS DRIVING A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE COULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND WITH CATASTROPHIC EFFECTS. REQUEST IMMEDIATE ACTION. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I BOUGHT A USED 2003 KIA SEDONA WITH 136000 MILES. THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED STAYING LIT ON THE DASH. MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE CODE WAS B1513, WHICH INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE (FEMALE END). THEY ORDERED THAT PART NEW FROM KIA AND REPLACED IT (FOR A COST OF $238). THE INDICATOR LIGHT DID NOT DISPLAY FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS WHEN IT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE CODES WERE B1511 AND B1513, WHICH INDICATES PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE DIVER AND PASSENGER BUCKLES. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS A WIRING ISSUE, AND AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT REPLACING THE SEATBELTS, BECAUSE I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT IT WOULD REALLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE COST TO REPLACE THE SRS WIRING IS PROHIBITIVE (OVER $1000). I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, AS NO ONE CAN SAY FOR SURE THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL STILL DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STILL DRIVES VERY WELL. KIA SHOULD BE MORE PROACTIVE ABOUT REPLACING/REPAIRING FAULTY SRS COMPONENTS, EVEN IN OLDER VEHICLES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A 2003 SEDONA USED IN 2007 WITH ABOUT 50000 MILES AND HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. 1ST IN 7/08 I WENT TO A LOCAL SHOP (NOT KIA) BECAUSE MY ENGINE SEEMED VERY LOUD. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW MOTOR MOUNTS N THAT IT WAS KIND OF UNUSUAL FOR A CAR TO NEED THEM SO SOON. I DID CALL KIA N ASK THEM ABOUT THIS AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD TO BAD FOR YOU. SO I HAD THEM FIXED ($556.36). NOT EVEN A FEW WEEKS LATER MY AC WAS BLOWING HOT. SAME MECHANIC TOLD ME MY AC WAS OUT N THAT ONE OF THE HOSES NEEDED REPLACED. HAD TO WAIT A FEW YEARS BUT HAD IT REPLACED ($1050.72). HAD MY 1ST BRAKE JOB DONE IN 2008 EVER SINCE I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPLACE 2-3 YEARLY PLUS HAD TO HAVE NEW CALIPERS. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WAY THE BREAKPADS WEAR OUT SO QUICKLY. I DONT DRIVE A UNUSUAL AMOUNT. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE 2 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE AND NOW HAVE A BROKEN EXTERIOR HANDLE. MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE I DRIVE WHICH SCARES ME READING OTHERS AIRBAG STORIES. WHEN I TRY TO FILL MY CAR WITH GAS THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF AFTER A DOLLAR OR 2 LIKE ITS FULL BUT ITS NOT. AND JUST A WEEK OR SO AGO I WAS OB THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUUSE CONTROL ON ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELT THIS OVERPOWERING SMELL OF GAS. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED BUT DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. CONTINUED DRIVING AGAIN SMELLED GAS TRIED TURNING OFF THE AC DIDNT HELP. TRIED TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL THE SMELL INSTANTLY STOPPED. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN B DONE TO HELP ME AND THE OTHERS WITH KIAS. I HAVE SOME OF MY REPAIR PAPERWORK. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME PLEASE CALL ME. *TR

I PURCHASED THE 2003 KIA SEDONA IN JUNE OF 2012 AND BY OCTOBER OF 2013 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR TWICE IN LESS THEN A MONTH DUE TO IT LOSING POWER NOW THE CAR CONTINUES TO LOOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE IT IS STOPPED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW AND THE ALTERNATOR IS BRAND NEW BUT THE BATTERY DIES EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. ALL THE MECHANICS CAN TELL ME IS THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY BUT IT IS WORKING. IT WILL START HICCUPING WHEN YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE. *TR

SRS LIGHT STAYS-ON CAUSED BY BROKEN SEAT-BELT BUCKLE WIRING UNDER PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS. BUCKLE SENSOR WIRING IS VULNERABLE TO SHEARING AND DAMAGE AS ANY OF BOTH SEATS IS ADJUSTED BACK AND FORTH. NEW PARTS COST MORE THAN $300, PLUS LABOR. AFTER REPAIRS, THE SRS CAN BE RESET ONLY AT THE DEALERSHIP ($120 MIN, ADDITIONAL). THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I HAVE A 2003 KIA SEDONA AND MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO BUCKLE HER SEAT BELT, 2ND ROW DRIVERS SIDE, AND THE BUCKLE PART CAME OFF THE SEAT. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE BUCKLE WAS BROKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STEEL CABLE THAT HOLDS THE BUCKLE TO THE SEAT, THERE IS THE BUCKLE, CABLE, THEN BOLTS THAT HOLD THE BUCKLE TO THE BASE OF THE SEAT . I CONTACTED KIA AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED AT MY EXPENSE SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THERE WOULD BE NOTHING THEY COULD OR WOULD DO. I TOOK THE VAN TO MY DEALER AND THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, THEY SPOKE TO THEIR DISTRICT MANAGER AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING, MY EXPENSE. AFTER THE DEALER VISIT I INSPECTED THE REST OF THE BUCKLES ONLY TO FIND THAT THE OTHER 2ND ROW SEAT BELT IS WEARING THROUGH THE STEEL CABLE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER BELT IS BROKE THROUGH THE WIRES AND PART OF THE STEEL CABLE. KIA CALLED THIS MORNING TO INFORM ME THAT THEY HAD SPOKE WITH THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILED DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. THE ONLY PEOPLE TO LOOK AT THE BUCKLE WERE THE SERVICE TECH'S AND THEY JUST LOOKED AT, THE MANAGER NEVER SAW THE BUCKLE. I HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $401.64 FOR THE REPAIRS. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW, IN NOVEMBER 2003, AFTER MY TWINS WERE 3 MONTHS OLD. I ALSO HAD A DAUGHTER AT THE TIME THAT WAS 6. THE ONLY PEOPLE TO SIT IN THOSE SEATS ARE CHILDREN, NOW 9 AND 15. THE CAR SEATS, WHEN NEEDED, WERE SECURED WITH THE TETHERS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO? KIA IS BEING VERY SHORT WITH ME AND DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO HELP ME OTHER THAN TELLING ME THERE IS NO WARRANTY. *TR

MY KIA SEDONA 2003 EX WAS A GREAT VEHICLE , UNTIL 12/20/2011 WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE SLIDING SIDE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER BROKE OFF IN MY HAND WHEN I OPENED IT. THIS WAS A HUGE SURPRISE TO ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT CAME OFF IN MY HAND. THEN ON 12/31/2011 , I OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND THE SCREW CAME OUT AND HIT THE GROUND AND I COULD NOT FIND IT.WHAT GOING ON , I'VE OWNED 4 CARS AND NONE OF THEM HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR HANDLES. THEN THE SILVER BUMPER ON THE FRONT AND THE REAR IS FADING TERRIBLY, THIS A WONDERFUL VEHICLE BUT, I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT THE DOOR HANDLES FELL OFF . NOW IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME TO OPEN THESE 2 DOORS. THIS CAR HAS NO CHILDREN PLAYING ON THE DOORS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN , MOST OF THE TIME ITS JUST ME ....IS THERE ANY REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT THEIR IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER.... I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME CONCERNING THIS MATTER.... *TR
