2003 Kia Sedona LX review from North America
"Good van for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crank position sensor (twice)
Alternator 80,000
Battery 80,000
Seat belt sensor on driver seat
Side door handle broke and came off in my hand
Original tires only lasted 38,000 miles
Ac Compressor replaced 60,000.
General comments?
About 10K cheaper than comparable new vans.
No problem with dealer service except cost.
Bought add on warranty for full coverage to 100K. Has paid for itself at least twice.
Very good performance when new.
Average performance after 60,000 timing belt change
Interior has stood up well to heavy use.
