2003 Kia Sedona EX Problems

I HAVE A 2003 KIA SEDONA. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED 2 TIMES IN A MONTHS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING NOW THAT THE CONNECTOR TO THE FAN HAS MELTED BECAUSE THE FAN IS PULLING TOO MUCH VOLTAGE. BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHERS, THE ISSUE IS THE CONNECTOR AND NOT THE FAN? I HOPE THEY ARE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT KEEPS CAUSING THESE ISSUES AND CAN FIX THIS ASAP! I AM SICK OF SPENDING MY NIGHTS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL STRAIN IT IS PLACING ON MY FAMILY. NOW I KNOW WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TRADED IN THIS JUNK WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT!

WE HAVE A DETACHED GARAGE, AT 4:00 AM OUR DOG WOKE US UP TO HER BARKING. SHE COULD HEAR THE VAN HORN BLOWING. WHEN I TOOK HER OUT, I SAW THE VAN LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE HORN WAS BLOWING. I COULD NOT STOP THE HORN WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE. I WOKE UP MY HUSBAND, WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR THE DASHBOARD WAS ALL MELTED, WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED, THE A/C UNIT GOING UP THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS ALL MELTED. HE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE TO OPEN THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE MECHANISM TO OPEN THE HOOD WAS ALL MELTED AS WELL. THE VAN WAS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY SENT US $3900. THE VAN WAS IS GREAT SHAPE FOR BEING 11 YEARS OLD. WE HAD THE VAN SERVICED AS SCHEDULED AND IT WAS ALWAYS KEPT IN THE GARAGE. WE BOUGHT THE VAN NEW AND STILL LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE AS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. SO WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THE VAN. WE WANTED TO CHECK AND SEE IF THERE WERE ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS PENDING. WHEN WE RAN A SEARCH ON OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE WERE SEVERAL LISTED. SOME JUST AS OURS WAS, DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I DON'T HAVE THE VIN AT THIS TIME BUT I CAN FIND IT AT HOME IN OUR INSURANCE CLAIM. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE US IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

MY KIA SEDONA 2003 EX WAS A GREAT VEHICLE , UNTIL 12/20/2011 WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE SLIDING SIDE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER BROKE OFF IN MY HAND WHEN I OPENED IT. THIS WAS A HUGE SURPRISE TO ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT CAME OFF IN MY HAND. THEN ON 12/31/2011 , I OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND THE SCREW CAME OUT AND HIT THE GROUND AND I COULD NOT FIND IT.WHAT GOING ON , I'VE OWNED 4 CARS AND NONE OF THEM HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR HANDLES. THEN THE SILVER BUMPER ON THE FRONT AND THE REAR IS FADING TERRIBLY, THIS A WONDERFUL VEHICLE BUT, I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT THE DOOR HANDLES FELL OFF . NOW IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME TO OPEN THESE 2 DOORS. THIS CAR HAS NO CHILDREN PLAYING ON THE DOORS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN , MOST OF THE TIME ITS JUST ME ....IS THERE ANY REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT THEIR IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER.... I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME CONCERNING THIS MATTER.... *TR

THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED DUE TO GRINDING COM TO FIND OUT THERE WAS 1BOLT ON THE BREAK CALIBERS PUT THEM ON AND IT STILL GRINDS AND CAN NOT STOP

BRAKE ROTORS WARPING EVERY YEAR SINCE PURCHASING THIS MINIVAN IN 10/03 I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS CHANGED EVERY YEAR DUE TO WARPING THE VAN HAS ONLY 43,000 MILES ON IT IT TO MUCH ALREADY ALL PARTS WERE KIA OEM PARTS PURCHASE AT A DEALER. *TR

THERE BEEN WHINING NOISE DURING ACCELERATING AND DE-ACCELERATE SPEED, I HAD SOMEONE LOOK AND THOUGHT I WAS BRAKING SYSTEM. YESTERDAY MY SON WAS DRIVING IT AND TURNING RIGHT AND WE HEARD A POP, AND THE WHOLE STEERING WENT OUT. WE WERE ALMOST KILLED ON 134, HE ABLE BACK IT UP. HAD SOMEONE ELSE LOOKS AT IT RACK AND PINION. THERE BEEN MSNY CLAIMS AND NO RECALL WHY

ON MY 2003 KIA SEDONA, I HAVE REPLACED OVER 3 WHEEL BEARINGS AND HAVE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE STEERING HAS LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 KIA SEDONA EX. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE RESIDENCE GARAGE AND THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FRONT INTERIOR AND ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL MELTED SEVERELY. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL MELTED AND WAS DISTORTED TO THE POINT THAT THE STRUCTURE AND GAUGES WERE NOT VISIBLE. THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF BURNING WIRE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE GARAGE TO A NEARBY LOCATION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CALLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO SMOKE PRESENT OR FLAMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT WAS DISPLEASED TO KNOW THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION OR ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. UPDATED 09/24/10. *LJ ACCORDING TO THE CONSUMER, A RECALL WAS ISSUED REGARDING THE SEATS. UPDATED 09/27/10

2003 KIA SEDONA EX PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING REAR DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE BROKE. CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE MY CHILD OUT OF THE CAR SEAT PROMPTLY, AND HAD TO USE THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR, WHICH WAS IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC. I FOUND OUT EVEN WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED. ONCE THE HANDLE WAS REMOVED FROM VAN, I FOUND OUT IT WAS MADE PLASTIC, NO WONDER IT BROKE, IT NEEDS TO BE MADE OF STRONGER MATERIAL, LIKE METAL. *TR

2003 KIA SEDONA WHICH WE BOUGHT BRAND NEW HAS HAD A PROBLEM ALMOST SINCE WE PURCHASED IT, INITIALLY WITH RUNNING ROUGH, THEN TRANSMISSION INTO STALLING, OR LOSS OF POWER AND ALMOST STALLING, WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR OTHER MAIN THOROUGHFARE WHERE RAPID ACCELERATION IS REQUIRED FOR SAFE ENTRY. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH WE PURCHASED IT NUMEROUS TIMES. EITHER THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, OR THEY MADE REPAIRS WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ON OCTOBER 4, 2006, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT ON A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD WHEN IT STALLED AND COULD NOT BE STARTED AGAIN, LEAVING HER STRANDED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE THIS TIME, AND WE GOT IT BACK TODAY, OCTOBER 6, IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. I DROVE TO A DESTINATION 17 MILES AWAY AND BACK THIS EVENING. IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES, AND ALMOST STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A HIGHWAY OR A MAJOR LOCAL ROAD. I NARROWLY AVOIDED GETTING INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES TONIGHT. THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. *JB

WE HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OUR KIA SEDONA. I'VE LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE HAD THE VAN INTO TWO DIFFERENT KIA DEALERSHIPS AND NEITHER ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WE PURCHASED THE VAN 12-2003 AND STARTING HAVING PROBLEMS 09-2004. WE WILL BE DRIVING THE VAN AND IT WILL START A BUCKING ACTION AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT IT SHOULD BE DOING. IF WE ARE LUCKY, WE CAN LET OFF THE GAS AND THE BUCKING ACTION WILL CEASE. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHEN WE LET OFF THE GAS AND IT CONTINUES TO BUCK. I'VE HAD A TIME WHEN THE BUCKING ACTION STARTED AND IT WAS SO SEVERE THAT OUR SEAT BELTS LOCKED. IT'S BAD WHEN YOUR SON IS IN THE BACK ASKING YOU WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR VAN. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY VAN DYING. I CAN BE SITTING AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR EVEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT JUST QUITS. WE HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE HERE AND ARE NOT GETTING ANY RESOLUTIONS. I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST A "FEMALE CAR ISSUE" BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND AND FATHER WHILE DRIVING. I JUST WANT TO GET SOMETHING RESOLVED. I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD SON AND NINETEEN MONTH OLD SON AND SAFETY IS AN ISSUE FOR OUR FAMILY! I'VE TRIED JUST GOING THROUGH THE DEALERSHIPS AND KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC. BUT STILL HAVE A VAN THAT DOESN'T RUN PROPERLY. EVEN TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH BOTH THE BOYS WITH ME THE VAN JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THANK THE LORD ABOVE NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. I FEAR FOR OUR FAMILY'S SAFETY, THOSE AROUND US OR EVEN SOMEBODY ELSE WHO OWNS A KIA SEDONA WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEBODY IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HOPE YOU WILL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEBODY IS HURT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 KIA SEDONA EX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING SHE WOULD HEAR A LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARINGS. AFTER THE REPAIR THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY FOR INSPECTION. UPON INSPECTION A MECHANIC CONCLUDED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, HE ADDED THAT BECAUSE THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE NOT ONLY DEFECTIVE, THEY WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, THEREFORE NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 72,000.

I HAVE A 2003 KIA SEDONA. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED 2 TIMES IN A MONTHS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING NOW THAT THE CONNECTOR TO THE FAN HAS MELTED BECAUSE THE FAN IS PULLING TOO MUCH VOLTAGE. BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHERS, THE ISSUE IS THE CONNECTOR AND NOT THE FAN? I HOPE THEY ARE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT KEEPS CAUSING THESE ISSUES AND CAN FIX THIS ASAP! I AM SICK OF SPENDING MY NIGHTS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL STRAIN IT IS PLACING ON MY FAMILY. NOW I KNOW WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TRADED IN THIS JUNK WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT!

THE ICV VALVE CLIP IN MY 2003 KIA SEDONA CAME LOOSE AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE. KIA RECALLED THE SAME CLIP IN ALL SORENTOS FROM 2003-2005. MY VEHICLE AS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. KIA DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

THIS VAN HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE CD PLAYER DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE. THE ALTERNATOR WITH OUT AT 40,000 MILES. THE FUSES INSIDE KEEP BLOWING. THE AIR CONTROLLER IN THE BACK IN FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING. I HAD TO LEAVE IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK SO THAT THEY COULD FIND THE HESITATION PROBLEM IT WAS HAVING WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE DISTRIBUTOR CABLE, THIS WAS AT ABOUT 17,000 MILES AND THAT WAS ALSO THE MILES AT THE 2ND BRAKES JOB. IT NOW MAKES A NOISE IN THE BACK OF THE VAN THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MOTORCYCLE IS COMING UP BEHIND YOU. I JUST HOPE WHATEVER IT IS IT DOESN'T BLOW LIKE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD. I BOUGHT THIS VAN BECAUSE I HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD AND A 4 YEAR OLD SO I REALLY DON'T WANT TO CRASH WITH SUCH PRECIOUS CARGO. THANKS, ROSE ANN. *NM

THE HYDRAULICS THAT KEEP THE HOOD AND THE BACK OF THE VAN OPEN ARE NOT WORKING. SO YOU ARE STUCK HOLDING THEM OPEN (AND THEY ARE VERY HEAVY) TO PUT IN GROCERIES, ETC. MY DAUGHTER HAS HURT HER HEAD A COUPLE OF TIMES TRYING TO HELP ME KEEP IT OPEN TO GET THE GROCERIES OUT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DOING THIS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THE INSIDE SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES NO. THE BACK AIR ADAPTER FOR THE A/C KEEPS FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING. THE A/C ITSELF SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T. THE SEATS IN THE BACK KEEP COMING UNDONE. THE VAN EATS THE TREAD OF THE TIRES EVEN WITH CONSTANT REPLACEMENT AND ROTATIONS AND BALANCES. THE SLIDING DOORS STICK ALL THE TIME AND MY DAUGHTERS HAVE ALL HURT THEM SELVES TRYING TO GET IN OR OUT FROM THE SLIDING DOORS. I AM AFRAID OF CUTTING OFF FINGERS HAVING TO FORCE IT OPEN OR CLOSED. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS A LATCH THAT BROKE SO THE HANDLE IS HALF ON HALF OFF. NOW WHEN I FILL UP ON GAS MY VAN WILL JERK WHEN I DRIVE IT OUT OF THE GAS STATION FOR A GOOD 20 MINS. MY GAS GAGE MOVES!! I CAN SEE IT DECREASE WHEN I DRIVE. THE GAS MILEAGE WAS APROX. 18 MPG NOW IT IS DOWN TO 12!!! THIS CAR IS A DANGER!! *TR
