2002 Kia Sedona LX review from North America
"Less quality for less money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear light was defective.
Power steering pump went out.
Short in a wire with the electrical emissions.
Air Conditioning went out twice in a months time. I had to borrow a car both times because I was never offered another mode of transportation. It took them 2-3 days each time to fix it.
Rear hatch is very heavy and you have to slam it as hard as you can to get the light to go off indicating that it's open. It usually stays on because I can't seem to get it shut?
The gas gauge has a slow response after filling it up with gas.
It had a hesitation when pressing the gas pedal. I took it in and they said the computer was off and they had to reprogram it.
General comments?
I will never get a Kia again. Yes, it is cheaper than the rest, but you pay for it in the end. I do like the warranty, however, with as much as has gone wrong, I'm worried about my warranty going out and having to pay for all the problems. I hear that it is expensive to repair them. If I could I would trade it in a heartbeat!
