2003 Kia Sedona LX review from North America
"Below average reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 55,000 miles our air conditioner started blowing luke warm air and the delearship reportedly changed the compressor and another part. At 63,000 miles 3 engine mounts/bolts needed to be replaced. At first I was told that it would cost us $850.00, but after I expressed my anger, they noted that it was under warranty and fixed it in 90 minutes. Now at 65,000 miles our speedometer randomly drops to 0 miles/hr while driving and we were told by the dealership we needed a whole new dash unit which will cost about $500.00.
General comments?
Pick up is impressive for the amount of horsepower.
Ride is comfortable.
The Sedona somewhat spacious.
Gas mileage is poor.
Seats are a pain to take in and out.
Stereo system is more than adequate.
