2001 Kia Sedona LX review from North America
"Sedona 2002 windshield problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem is the windshield.
General comments?
Had the car about 18 months, the third (yes third!) windshield cracked last month (16 Mar 03). Been chatting with KIA about fixing it since then. Apparently, they are NOT going to do anything about it.
Windshield Recap:
September 01 (late) bought Sedona
October 01 (mid) windshield cracked
December 01 (late) windshield replaced
February 02 (mid) windshield cracked
April 02 (mid) windshield replaced
March 03 (mid) windshield cracked
In all cases the windshield crack originated near (within two inches of) the rubber windshield seal.
I have two other Kias, (Sephia, Spectra) that have not had any windshield cracks.
