2002 Kia Sedona ex review from North America
"Kia still has a long road ahead of them to make a adequate minivan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to get new tires and brakes at 22000 miles. I am needing new brakes and tires yet again at 63000 miles.
The check engine light still is on after at least 6 trips to the dealer to have it corrected.
My battery has been replaced twice.
The belts are squeaking.
General comments?
The van was great for the first three months and since then we have been in the service department more times than I can count.
The ride feels very rough in the middle and back seats.
