2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"Hellish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is my list of things that have gone wrong so far.
-Replaced AC 2 times.
-Replaced Alternator once and it just went out again the other day after only about 50,000 miles.
-In the summer the radio cuts in and out, if I open the door and slam it sometimes the radio will come back on.
-two AC sockets have blown fuses.
-The door handles on both sliding doors are broken.
-New A/C makes an awful racket when idling.
I have a Ford escort that has 181000 miles on it and I haven't had any problems other than what is normal for a car of its mileage, and age (9 years old)
General comments?
I will not buy another KIA and would see the company run out of the US if I could, will not recommend this manufacturer to anyone.
