2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"This van in not a good buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There were two transmission leaks within the first month of owning the car.
The rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced within 2500 miles.
An engine squeal started. The van had to go to the shop five times for that.
The sliding doors were difficult to open.
The seat belt did not lock properly for a car seat to be installed.
General comments?
Overall I liked the interior and the looks of the Sedona.
The reliability of this van is terrible.
The van was out of service for 42 days within a 4 month time period. All for the same problem. I couldn't even make it home without the problem starting again!
Brakes shouldn't go bad and need replacing after 4 months of taking children to school!
