Bought it used so expected some small problem right away. 2 days after purchase the dealer replaced the left front wheel, both front tire [they were all the way worn down on inside not outer side], all brakes including rotors. Drove great 5 months then just did not start. Turns out it needs cam sensor and some other sensor, new belts, water pump, power steering hose, manifold and tires rotated. New tires are beginning to wear too much on inside. If you are considering purchasing, RUN do not walk, RUN AWAY. Considering the mileage these parts should still be good. KIA parts do not last under normal use. KIA must use a cheap, bad grade, of plastic -all plastic parts easily break.
10 yrs and still looks/drives well

Update: Took the Sedona in at 99.5k miles because trans was slipping into 5th gear. After submitting much paperwork showing detailed maintenance, KIA replaced trans free, along with motor mounts and exhaust which had cracked. Wow! So now at 107k miles, the thing is clean and runds well. I had to replace the door handle that just came off in my hand. $30 and 2 hrs work. I'm thinking of trading it in on a Rondo. I'd prefer the better gas mileage and no one seems to know just how nice those Rondos were, so they are priced low. Go KIA!!!

Needed a mini-van with 2nd baby on the way so traded in my old "00 Sportage, found a great deal, and after 8 years only problems were the alternator (replaced under warranty) and air conditioner, repaired for about $400. Unfortunately, we have continually had problems with the air bag light. One Kia mechanic even told me "Don't worry about the light, it works fine!" Overall theough, we are pleased. Average about 20mpg highway/city driving. Lately I've noticed a "rough" shift between 3 and 4 gear and am thinking I'd better get it in before the warranty expires.
great

We have owned/leased/operated 9 new cars. Most we have traded in within a few years. A few we have kept past their shelf life; but with great results. Bottom of the list? you got it. My 2002 kia sedona mini van. Purchased brand new in may 2002. Fast forward 7 short years; yes only 7 short years to a complete and utter piece of junk. Evidently there is a line that runs the length of the van that holds and circulates your engine coolant. Well its a very bad thing when the line rusts completely through and you leak said engine coolant. You would think that there would be light for this type of complete malfunction but the only light is the one telling you that your motor just burned up.
