2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"Worst van ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine blew at 39,000km took 6 weeks to get it back
A/C worked for 2 months after purchase
Windshield cracked for no reason from left to right
Wheel rod in brakes locked and burned at 101000km took 4 and a half weeks to get it back as parts had to be shipped from Korea.
Rust on lift-gate and at sliding doors
Side trim is coming off
Lots of squeaking in cabin
Engine blown again at 109,000km only 79,000km after engine replaced first time.
General comments?
Will never buy a KIA ever again.
It was a waste of time and money
Would never suggest anyone to ever buy a KIA
I just want to get rid of it and buy something made in North America
KIA doesn't stand behind their products what should that tell us?
