2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"I would never again buy another KIA"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well at 50,000 miles we got a recall on the wiring harness under the seat. Took that in to get fixed.
Around 55,000 miles I started noticing rust forming on the rear license plate area. Being a used vehicle off a lease program the warranty was only good for up to 80,000 miles. At 82,000 miles the air conditioning lines all needed replaced along with the condenser and evaporator. $1,500 later the air conditioner still wouldn't work. All the o-ring were bad on the lines going to the back. At 90,000 miles the heater lines developed a pin hole on one of the mounting brackets resulting in a loss of antifreeze, and the front tires began bouncing on us resulting in the need for strut replacement.
General comments?
My complaint is why do I have to always go to KIA to buy all my parts? The struts are going to cost me 205.00 a piece to just buy the parts to put on myself. Why so much???
