FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 KIA SEDONA. ATTORNEY WRITES ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS REGARDING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING, WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND DANGEROUSLY DROPPED DOWN FROM THE POSTED SPEED OF 60 MPH TO 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. ELEVEN DAYS LATER, THE DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THE REPAIR CONSISTED OF REPLACING THE OXYGEN SENSOR, ALTHOUGH THE TECHNICIAN COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AS THE CONSUMER WAS RETURNING HOME, THE LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER THEN STATED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FUEL PUMP, SO THAT WAS REPLACED. ON JULY 31, 2009 THE CONSUMER RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER AND THREE HOURS LATER, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR TEN DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR A WEEK WITH NO PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO PASS A TRUCK, THE LOSS OF POWER RETURNED. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN FROM 60 MPH TO 20 MPH. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 THE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD BAD GASOLINE AND THEREFORE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. THE CONSUMER KEPT THE OLD FUEL PUMP AND FILTER AND HAD IT TESTED, WHICH WAS LATER DETERMINED THERE WAS NO SIGN OF BAD GASOLINE. INSTEAD, THE LABORATORY INDICATED THE FILTER WAS CLOGGED WITH AN UNKNOWN CLAY SUBSTANCE. NEARLY A YEAR HAD PASSED WITH NO INCIDENT. THEN, ONCE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON AUGUST 20,2010, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM OF SUDDENLY LOSING ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE SENSORS AND UPGRADED THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, AN HOUR AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE OLD DEALER AND WHEN THEY REMOVED THE FUEL FILTER, THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS CLOGGED WITH A FOREIGN COLORED MATERIAL THAT LOOKED THE SAME AS BEFORE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER FUEL FILTER AND THE DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ONLY OWNER OF 2007 KIA SEDONA, I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER DRIVER WHILE DRIVING THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I HAD NOTICED THAT THE "ESC" LIGHT WAS ON MY DASH AND DID NOT GO OUT. I CALLED KIA MOTORS TO INFORM THEM OF THIS AFTER I SAW ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. I DID AND IT WAS THE SAME FAULTY BRAKE SWITCH THAT WAS ON THE RECALL BUT SINCE KIA SAID MY UNIT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PART AND REPAIR BY THE DEALER. I REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM KIA MOTORS IN GOOD FAITH AS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO OWNERS IN THE RECALL BUT THEY DENIED MY GOOD FAITH REQUEST. *TR

SEATS
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT MOVED BACK ON ITS OWN AND THE CONTROLS TO MOVE THE SEAT WERE NON-RESPONSIVE. THE DRIVER HAD TO RELEASE THE SEAT BELTS TO SLIDE FORWARD ON THE SEAT IN ORDER TO REACH THE PEDALS. HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BEFORE THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS WOULD WORK AGAIN. AFTER GETTING BACK ON THE ROAD, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN THE DRIVER NEEDED TO STOP, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THEY KEPT THE CAR ALL DAY AND WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US. *TR

TIRES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE NOTICED THAT HE PASSENGER SIDE TIRES HAD A LOW PSI OF 20, WHEN THEY SHOULD BE 35. A TECHNICIAN ADVISED HIM THAT BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE NOT STICKING VERY CLOSELY TO THE RIM, IT'S CAUSING AIR TO RELEASE; HE THEN ADDED THAT THERE IS NOT AN AVAILABLE REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. AS A CONSEQUENCE HIS RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH WAS INCREASED, IF THE TIRES FAIL WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,281.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS MORNING MY WIFE WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD IN OUR 2007 KIA: SEDONA DOING 55 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN THE SIDE ELECTRIC DOOR JUST OPENED UP ON IT'S OWN. (IT WAS LOCKED.) OUR SIX YEAR OLD GRANDSON WAS SITTING THERE WITH HIS SEAT BELT ON (THANK GOD). AS YOU CAN GUESS, IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF HIM AND MY WIFE. LAST YEAR, THIS SAME THING HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITH THE OTHER SIDE DOOR. (ONE TIME, I WAS SITTING AT THE DOOR COMING BACK FROM WEST POINT, NY.) AS OF NOW, KIA IS HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING PARTS. (IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF VOLUME OF PROBLEMS.) THEY SAY IT WILL TAKE A WEEK TO GET PARTS. (KIA DOES NOT SUPPLY A FREE RENTAL.) *TR

VISIBILITY
THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE EASILY COMES LOOSE, CAUSING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY FOR THE FRONT WIPERS. THE CAUSE IS THE NUT CONNECTING THE LINKAGE TO THE MOTOR COMING LOOSE AND POPPING OFF, DISENGAGING THE LINKAGE FROM THE MOTOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE SAME VEHICLE TWICE: THE FIRST TIME (EARLY 2008), WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO REPAIRED THE LINKAGE BUT REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER THE VEHICLE'S BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY, SAYING IT WAS CAUSED BY RUNNING THE WIPERS WHEN THEY WERE STUCK IN ICE. THE SECOND TIME (DECEMBER 4, 2008), WE FIXED THE PROBLEM OURSELVES AFTER THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD EASILY OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE DRIVER WAS CAREFUL TO CLEAR ICE FROM THE WIPERS BEFORE RUNNING THEM. NEVERTHELESS, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. KIA RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM BACK IN 1999. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I OWN A 2007 KIA SEDONA MINIVAN. I CONTACTED THE DEALER CONCERNING THE REAR SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS. THE DOORS HAD OPENED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING A FAMILY TRIP TO AND FROM OHIO IN WHICH MY TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS WERE RIDING IN THEIR SAFETY SEATS. THE VAN WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE DOORS BUT THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE DOORS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY MADE DOOR ADJUSTMENTS TO BOTH DOORS. AGAIN THE DOORS OPENED AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE GENTLEMAN STATED HE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HE WOULD INSURE IT WAS CORRECTED. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SENSOR. AGAIN THE DOOR OPENED WHEN I TOOK THE VAN BACK I WAS TOLD "MRS. DAVIS WE CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE DOORS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU." I WAS SO UPSET BY HIS RESPONSE THAT I CONTACTED KIA CORPORATE WHICH THEY ASKED THAT I TAKE THE VAN BACK INTO THE DEALER. I WAS THE MODULES WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY WILL TAKE A WEEK TO GET THE PARTS THAT THEY ARE WORKING WITH A TECH FROM KIA. THE MODULES ARE REPLACED IN BOTH DOORS. AGAIN I HAVE ANOTHER EVENT OF THE DOOR OPENING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I ALSO DISCOVER MY TAILGATE DOOR ONLY OPENS MANUALLY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TO BE POWERED. I TAKE IT BACK TO KIA AND THEY STATE THEY HAD THE WRONG MODULES PUT IN AND REPLACED THEM WITH THE CORRECT MODULES. THEY DOORS OPENED TWICE ON MY RETURN TRIP FROM OKLAHOMA ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2008 AGAIN I HAD TO STOP AND CLOSE THE DOORS. THIS VEHICLE IS A REAL CONCERN AS I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2008 AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT 8 MONTHS. IT HAS PLACED ME IN FEAR OF TRANSPORTING MY GRANDCHILDREN WHO LIVE WITH US. THEY ARE 5 MONTHS AND 2 YEARS OF AGE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY 2007 KIA SEDONA MINIVAN HAS 18,000 MILES AND HAS TWO MAJOR ISSUES. FIRST, A GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END ATTRIBUTED BY A MECHANIC TO NEW FRONT END BEARINGS. SECOND, A CHECK-ENGINE CODE WHICH IS CAUSING THE ROUGH IDLE BASED OFF OF FAULTY O2 SENSORS. BOTH ITEMS WERE DIAGNOSED BY A KIA CERTIFIED GARAGE - GARY ROME KIA IN ENFIELD, CT. I DON'T BELIEVE FRONT END BEARINGS SHOULD FAIL ON A 2007 VEHICLE. ALSO, THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE O2 SENSORS. ACCORDING TO MECHANICS AT GARY ROME KIA - BOTH ISSUES ARE "VERY COMMON WITH THESE MINIVANS." *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRED WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER NINE TIMES FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT NO ERROR CODES COULD BE FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,833 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,193.
