2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"Nice, but popping and cracking noise will make me trade it soon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Area in front of the driver pops and cracks whenever you hit a bump.
General comments?
We like the Sedona van except for the very annoying popping and cracking noise. The creature comforts are reasonable, it drives well on the interstate and we are satisfied with the hauling capacity to get our college boys moved in and out of school.
Despite all these positives, the dealer cannot seem to rectify the annoying noise right in front of the driver. They installed a new windshield and that did not solve the problem. Their own mechanic tried unsuccessfully to resolve the problem. Next they had our van for a full five business days and took it to a body shop.
The annoying noise still remains. Has anyone else had this problem? Was it ever resolved and if so, how?
