2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"I would never purchase another KIA vehicle nor will I suggest that anyone purchase one at any price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headlights blew out on the car at night while driving.
The front brake rotors continually get
hot spots and have to be replaced.
The vehicle shuts off without warning.
The transmission on this vehicle has
clanking noises while driving at highway speeds.
The engine labors when using passing gear at highway speeds.
The ABS, brake, engine and oil warning
lights come on while driving this vehicle.
The air conditioner emits loud humming
noises when the compressor is engaged.
The vehicle have failed to start on several occasions.
The arm rest retainer bolt in the middle passenger seat loosens and has to be tightened often.
The electrical outlet/cigar lighter units have become inoperable due to blown fuses.
The retractable moon roof have become inoperable on occasion.
General comments?
In my opinion, this car should be placed in the same category as the
Corvair, " Not Safe At Any Speeds ".
