"Cheap junk"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The Van is a gas guzzler. Approximately 300 kilometers per 75 liter tank of gas.

I brought it in for the cup holder, the jack kept falling out of the compartment and for the fuel consumption, two weeks after I bought the sedona.

They had it in for a week. First thy told me it was the O2 sensor then it was the catalytic converter, then they told me nothing was wrong with it.

Meanwhile the loaner they gave me was a 2002 sephia with 900 kilometers on it and the check engine light came on on it. They told me to keep running it like it is.

Further more I had realized that the Van was going to cost me a fortune on gas so I wanted to make a trade with the sportage, but the dealer didn't even want their peice of junk back. They would not help me out at all. The dealers are nice and sweet when you go in to buy, but it sure is a different story when you go to complain about the junk product.

General comments?

Don't buy a Kia. They are worthless. You will regret it like I did. I traded my Sedona van in three weeks after I got it with only 1395 kilometers on it.

We have had similar problems with our 2002 Sedona. O2 sensor- catalytic converter-fuel injector and coil. All replaced by 5000km. Hassles with loaner vehicle... Wondering if you went to manufacturer to work out an agreement... just yesterday the engine light came back on. Wishing now we had gone with another vehicle or even dealer.
