2002 Kia Sedona LX review from North America

The back door has ugly, gaping rust spots around the license plate. Nobody told me this was a flaw, and now I think it might be too late to take it back to be repaired. There must be damage to the back door handle, because of the rust, because now it is very tricky to open.

I have had the air conditioning compressor replaced three times. It was covered by warranty.

The defroster has never worked properly. I think there must be a petrified animal permanently jammed in the dashboard somewhere, because no matter how I adjust the air, nothing ever seems to come out of the vents by the windshield.

The seats are extremely difficult and cumbersome to remove. I guess I was spoiled by my last minivan a Chevy Lumina. The seats were well designed for one person to be able to pop in and out. Now, when I need to remove a seat from my Kia, I have to get someone to help me and we typically end up injuring ourselves (smashing a finger, throwing out our backs, smearing oil on our clothing from the seating mechanisms.)

I wish the people who created these stupid seats were forced to take them in and out 100 times in a row to punish them for the horrible design.
