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.
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!
I own a 2002 Sedona with approximately 96,000 Kilometers (60,000 miles) on the clock. I, ve owned this since new and just recently, I asked the dealer here in Barrie to provide a quote on replacing the timing belt and spark plugs. The total quote was nearly $1,100.00 CAN. ($875.00 U.S.) I recently read a review in another feed back where some concern was raised about KIA's parts pricing.
The dealership has always been fair and has resolved a lot of warranty issues amicably. However, the dealers quoted parts price of nearly $18.00 CAN. per spark plug shocked me. These plugs are now available at Canadian Tire for about $8.00 CAN. each. KIA's price for the timing belt is more than twice of that of a Ford Windstar and the labour to replace the timing belt is nearly six hours.
The car is not the greatest nor is it the worst vehicle I've owned, but it's the most expensive parts wise.
