I did take the car to Kia and they put it on the computer. Apparently all 3 ( horn, air bag and cruise control) are linked together thru the clock spring. It's working fine now but I sure can't figure why the a/c quit between the time I dropped it off , and picked it up. Wondering if the green lights on the a/c knobs are a fuse? Still blowing hot air tho ( kind of like the repair ... Read More...

Kia Sedona Climate Control Problems, etal

Written by: windjim20 on Oct 15, 2009 08:40 AM

I live in upstate NY and I own a 2004 Kia Sedona. Since I have had the car, I have had numerous problems related to the comments contained in this column. The car is currently being repaired for the fifth time this year - this time, it is leaking rear coolant lines being replaced. The problem has existed since it had approx. 50,000 miles on it. I am amazed that Kia Corp. ... Read More...

I'm sorry to hear you guys are having brake problems. I know the pre 06 Sedona's are a lot heavier then the model I have and personally I would have never had touched a pre 06 Sedona with its reviews. This is neither here nor there for you guys but why not look into other options. If anything go on e-bay and look at the higher end cross-drilled rotors and nice aftermarket ... Read More...

I am glad to hear that I am not the only KIA owner that is miserable and honestly don't think I have had so much hate for a car in the past. I filed a BBB Lemon Law claim and immediately got a call from a rep at KIA North America who promised to follow up in the week and it has been about 3 now...likely backed off after seeing BBB respond about exceeding the mileage. The van ... Read More...

The KNOW there is an issue with their rotors and refuse to replace them with better ones. They wont reply to any of my emails either....believe me....everyone I know will NEVER ... Read More...

2004 Kia Sedona key removal

Written by: sto61 on Aug 23, 2009 03:17 PM

I can't remove my ignition key from my Kia Sedona and it is currently on the ACC position. Several attempts were made with the shifting (automatic) to free up the steering but no luck. Previous to this problem, my power steering has been somewhat jerky in movement for over a week. The power steering fluid level is at maximum so something with either the belt or other ...

It sounds like leaking freon. If your car had been worked on some one might have undone the lines and didn't reinstall it properly. For example, to replace the alternator if not raising the engine, you would have to disconnect the ac lines to get to it. After replacing the alternator you would have to reconnect the ac lines and recharge the freon. As for the noise, ... Read More...
