2003 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"An imported sour lemon."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since picking up our new car from the dealer one month ago, we have had our Sedona in the shop four times because of electrical problems.
Four computers were replaced.
Spark plugs replaced at 600 miles.
Four coils replaced.
One ignition sensor replaced.
Currently, the car in back at the dealer's because I could not start it and they think it is a bad fuel pump at 732 miles.
Lost all radio presets on FM radio.
General comments?
When I had the car and it was running... it was a nice ride.
The seats are comfortable and roomy.
I bought the Sedona because of the price and five star safety rating.
However, due to so many problems especially so early in owning the vehicle, I can only hope to be able to declare this car a lemon and to get a full refund.
