2007 Kia Sedona Reviews

I purchased this vehicle because it had a good safety rating, but was much less expensive than other minivans. I wish I had considered quality more carefully.

I have had to replace every single door latch on this vehicle, except for the passenger's door. I have had the door slide open on a highway entrance ramp with a startled child in a car seat right next to it. We had to secure it with his superman cape.

I also had the hood latch fail and flip up, obscuring my view while driving down the highway. Luckily, no children were in the van at that time, and I was able to get over safely.

At times the car will not allow me to unlock the door, like twice a year. It's weird, but no real problems.

I paid $16,000.00 for the car, one year old, with lots of miles (42k) with lots of goodies and I am very happy with my car.

There is no way that I could have purchased a Toyota or a Honda for that price, and all that I got.

To be honest I think this is a great minivan for the price, and the extra muscle in the van really is great, and I have had no major problems with it, just the regular maintenance of the car.

I would recommend it any one, great buy.

Our vehicle started to buck right after we had bought the vehicle new. When we brought it to the dealership and told the salesman he said that service would check it. The answer came back that there was nothing wrong with the van. Then the van continued to buck, but it was a small amount. I had told service about this and they told me after checking that they could find nothing wrong.

Just recently we went to Virginia on a trip and the vehicle started to buck horribly. The check engine came on and stayed on. We had to call around to find a dealership that could get us in and look at the vehicle. When they checked the diagnostic computer they said that they found the P0300-random cylinder misfire detected, on P0305-Cylinder number 5. The misfire was detected and the trouble codes were stored in the PCM. They diagnosed the problem, which was "We cannot find anything wrong." Cleared the system and took it for a 6 mile drive. No more problem.

Within a couple of days home there it went again. Took it in and they said it was excess moisture on the mass airflow sensor. They wiped it off and cleared the PCM again. Now here we are not even a month later and the van is at it again. Check engine light and all. Except the noise is louder this time.

To add insult to injury, the lemon law in this state is for the dealers not the people. When the van acts up we lose power while driving and it bucks. We have five kids. Something needs to be done.

There is rust already on the seals for the doors. The doors do not work properly. They are motorized. The seals around the windows have already been replaced.

Then when I took it into service at 16000 miles, they never told me it needed the 15000 mile service. So this past time in service the GM was not nice when I got upset because they never checked the air filter. It was disgusting. Most places do it every time you get your oil changed. Then they charged us 36.00 for it. Ha on top of it they blamed the air filter for the car being sluggish. Go figure.
