Battery dies due to factory draw
I own a 2007 Kia Sedona LX. I have had it since Nov if 2009. I m replacing my battery every six month due to the fact that the vehicle has a draw and has had since the day I bought it.. It was under warranty and I have taken it there complaining about this problem. I was told that when they test my charging system it has the normal factory draw. I took it there again and was told it is working fine and not to return. They made me feel crazy.I have been fighting this problem for 4 years. Upon talking to others with this same year they also have the same problem. KIA won't fix it, it is a factory problem. Don't buy a sedona
Don't regret the purchase but would not buy another one
I own a 2007 KIA Sedona LX. I purchased the car used in late 2009. It had 37,000 miles at time of purchase and was a good value for the money. The good points about this car: it drives smoothly, has a lot of power, is very roomy and comfortable, incredibly safe with electronic stability control, 8 airbags, ABS, and I like the look of it. The gas mileage isn't bad for city driving. I get about 20 mpg in the city. However, I've had some big issues with this car that would really make me think twice about getting another one. The transmission needed to be replaced at 88000 miles. I was stunned that the transmission died so quickly.

Wise $ spent
I compared ALL vans. It came down to the Honda and yes, the Kia. Honda if you want to lease... Kia to buy. Though I preferred the Honda, the $3k difference, bang for the buck, 10 year warranty, a better reliability rating by Consumer Reports, BEST minivan distinction in safety by the insurance institute, 5 star gov. rating, "Best Buy" by Consumers Digest and on and on from one review to the next...decision done. I did like the drive of the Honda, but I believe it's because of the name cache "Honda" vs. Kia. Getting over that, they drive near identical. The fit and finish is also on par, if not better. Common sense, value, and the safest van distinction made this an easy purchase.
2007 Sedona EX
Road tested on inner city streets and on highways. Very comfortable feeling and handles very well on turns and curves. Like sitting on my couch driving through winding roads. Love everything about this model. Maybe a little too long for my garage, but other than that, an excellent overall vehicle. Also, the rear backing sensors are great, along with the child monitoring reflector mirror.
Objective review of my '07 Sedona
We purchased this van used with 10,000 miles on it. We got it for a great price because the resale value of the Kia Sedona is comparatively one of the lowest of any vehicle. It is very roomy and comfortable, and drives and handles extremely well. It is perfect for long trips, and I average between 24-25 mpg on the highway. There are no mechanical issues. On the bad side, our main complaint is that the suspension sounds like creaky old bed springs when you go over a slight bump, and this is not a warranty item. The materials quality both inside and out is not on par with Japanese rivals. The dashboard is fading in some spots and the leather is showing wear spots on the passenger seat.
117,302 a well built minivan
Bought it used, it has over 117,300 miles on it... only 1 issue, fuel economy is just OK.... avg 17mpg mix driving. Too much city driving and it drops to 11 mpg avg, Highway driving 21 mpg avg mix speeds Otherwise, drives like it's still new,

bought Sedona for safety rating, but got so much m
This van is Matt every knee that our family has had. Plenty of room it just will see stow and go seats, storage room in the back. We previously had Pontiac Montana and it had the Cadillac of leather seats. These are just a step down, but very comfortable. It's hard for a man to find a minivan seat that has a long enough bottom to support comfortable driving the legs. This one does okay. UPDATE: 2018 now and still lovi g it!!!

Surprising car
This is a fun car to drive. At today's gas prices, I am glad to report that the car actually gets the advertised mileage. They stated it would get 18 mpg (city) and 25 mpg (highway). While mileage depends on driving habits, I get at least 18 mpg city, and up to 28 mpg highway. The 28 mpg was reached while driving on an interstate doing 85 mph (don't tell the police.)
Just the facts
Unlike other reviews, I have put over 80000 miles on my Sedona in just 2 years. So, I'm talking experience here. The car handles like a sports car. The ride is pretty good, although there is no isulation to speak of (you hear a lot of road noise). I get 20 mpg in city/highway driving. On the open road, at 75, I get 24-25. Great bang for the buck! Downside! The residual value on this vehicle is horrible. Comparing it to other minivans with comparable equipment, mileage, and initial purchase cost, the Kia is $4k-5k less. I trade every 2 years, and expect to pay to get right side up. However, this van is costing me too much to trade. Cost new; $24k. Now; $6500! What a hit in 2 years!
80,000 miles and no major problems so far!
We wanted a used Toyota Sienna or Honda Odessy bu the prices were about 20% to 25% higher than an equivalent KIA minivan. So we bought our 2007 Sedona EX in 2009 with 17,000 miles on it. As second owners, the original 10 yr./100K mi. warranty partially passed to us for 60,000 miles or 5 years (until May 2012), whichever came first, which we thought was pretty generous on KIA's part. We actually used it when the automatic doors began to act up within the first year we owned it. This is a known issue on some Sedona vans from this period. We took it to the dealer two or three times before they finally got it fixed right and the problem has never returned. We bought the EX model, which has lots of bells and whistles, including very convenient power rear "wing windows" in the third row. We've had a couple of engine lights over the years like O2 sensors, etc. Common problems on most cars but at least two or three hundred bucks to repair! But the engine block itself and tranny have not had any problems since we bought it. We used full synthetic oil from the beginning, every 5,000 miles on schedule. Plus we use a little Archoil additive every oil change. We haven't had a tune up since we bought it. But the 3.8L engine still runs smooth and has lots of power when accelerating, even with a full house. Smooth shifting as well. It has never left is stranded on the side of the road. At 60,000 miles, the windshield wiper motor died and was replaced. Surprisingly, we were able to squeeze 70,000 miles out of the original tires, although that was really pushing it below the tread-wear indicators. Put a set of Costco Michelin Defenders all the way around ($800) and it rides like a cream-puff. The overhead information display is a very nice feature, and tells us that we average 17 MPG consistently in the city. Freeway driving allows us to get maybe 20 to 22 miles per gallon, depending on speed. The interior layout is user friendly and attractive. Very roomy for families with kids. The rear well behind the third row is very deep, allowing for lots of luggage stowage. Cupholders and cubby holes are everywhere. The factory speakers are "OK" but the stock radio is really below par. Upgraded to an aftermarket head unit and the sound quality is so much improved. It's one of three cars in the household, so we drive it only about 6,500 miles per year. At 80,000 miles our Sedona is still going strong, although the front suspension is just now starting to "creak and squeak" as if some major front end work may be in store....time for a visit to Les Schwab for a free inspection! The van still has the original alternator and water pump, so we should probably get those two items replaced before they die. Overall, this minivan has served us well for family hauling and vacations. Definitely got our money's worth over the years.

Has been great for us
We love our Kia Sedona van. It handles well and is very comfortable...granted it has a bunch of bells and whistles. We have had relatively few problems and if I were to purchase a van again...it would be a Sedona. The gas mileage in town is not great but I like it on the highway. I especially like the tire monitoring system, the back seat folding down, the back windows able to go down and how much power I feel I have versus our Grand Caravan we had prior to this.
Beliver in Kia safety
We purchased a 2004 Kia Sedona largely on price and figured with a 100K warranty if it was junk KIA would have to fix it. We found it to be a very reliable, stable and flexable vehicle that could do about anything we ask. On July 2, 2007 we were hit in the passenger side and pushed into a pole. The van was totalled but my wife and I walked away with only a broken nose and bruises. The fire and ambulance crew were afraid we would be dead when they saw the van. We believe in Kia safety and purchased a brand new one immediately. We love and trust our Kia minivan. I would recommend it to anyone.
Keeps on going!
The only negative is that you have to remove the middle seats to get a totally flat cargo space.

We love Sedona
We test drove an Odyssey, Sienna and the Sedona, and the Sedona is equal or better than the other 2. We were very disappointed with the Sienna fit and finish. The Sedona is a excellent van, with very good power, comfort, road manners and price (the Sedona is not cheap as it used to be but this model is far superior than the older design). My gas mileage in the city is around 16 and 26 in the highway, I am pleased with the fuel economy, I know it will improve when the engine breaks in. We really enjoy driving this car, my children love the comfort and the DVD.
Great Buy
We turned in our 2001 Toyota sienna. We have had the Sedona coming up on a year now. It's a great car! If you want bang for the buck this is the van for you. Very very safe too. No problems it is a family moving machine. My 15 yo daughter is learning to drive in this van.
Worse Van Ever Had!! VERY COSTLY!!
Wrote previous review praising van. Now want to shoot it! 89,000 miles and 4 sets of brakes in two years. Solenoid replaced, check engine light due to recall for exterior lighting/brake lights/switch. That was fixed. Check engine light comes on again along with oil light. Before could stop and check oil, van starts dying. Got oil in it & it starts making loud noise. Now finding out that timing belt went out & probably destroyed motor. If motor destroyed, then will be letting it just go back. Not interested in continuing to pay on something not reliable and that costly to maintain. Have to pay $100 deductible every time I take it in for anything covered under the warranty or recalled.
One of the best autos I have ever owned
I bought this used in 2008 it had 47000 mile on it. The dealer gave me a lifetime repair on drive train I also bought a extended service plan. Fuel millage is 25 in town 36 highway performance is unbelievable. I own a garage at 98000 I had to replace a belt idler and front struts and the extended repair plan paid me to repair it. We now have 177000 on it and I have replace the spark plugs and did many oil change and trans service 4 sets of brakes and tires I change at 40,000 so my wife is safe. This is the most trouble free auto I have ever had except for a Ford truck I just sole at 730,000 mile and a 86 Ford truck I put 3 engine in and it is now 1.5 million miles it has been used to tow race trucks since I bought it in 1996. This KIA is right there with these 2 trucks except the Kia is a lot better on fuel and ride witch it should be. When this one were out we will buy another Kia now doubt.

Great Deal for The Money
I purchased a 2007 Sedona (20K miles) about 6 months ago and would do it again. I would have had to buy a 5 year old Honda or Toyota to get the price I did. I bought this thing because I heard kids prone to car sickness do well in minivans. And my 3 year old used to vomit on any trip over about 30m. Well, it worked. The kid doesn't vomit on trips anymore. The vehicle really has a nice ride to it. I am fairly impressed with this vehicle as far as value for the money. My kids call it Daddy's truck and I don't really feel like telling them that it's a minivan. On the other hand I am not embarrassed because I have another vehicle that is the opposite of a minivan.
Automatic Door Issues
We bought the van used in Dec 2010 with 25K on it. Two days after we drove it home it was back in the shop for issues with the hatch not closing, come to find out there was a recall on it. Two weeks later it was back at the dealer for issues with the sliding doors not closing and jamming up. We have now had the vehicle 8 months and from May - August it has been at the dealer WEEKLY for the same door issues. They can not seem to fix it and when they say they do you no sooner get home and the doors do the same thing. The passenger side door has actually opened up while in drive! Be very cautious when purchasing this vehicle. I will go back to my trusty Honda, I gave Kia a try and they failed.
Excellent Vehicle
I traded my 5 year old Chevy Venture for a new 2007 Kia Sedona EX with all options. I have not been disappointed. This van rides quiet and feels extremely solid on the road. Powerful and smooth. The build quality is excellent. Fit and finish are superb. Fuel economy has been much better than expected. Averaging around 20.5 MPG combined city/hwy and got 23.3 mpg on vacation this summer. Not bad when you consider 75 mph with four people and a weeks' worth of luggage. Changed the oil myself. Very easy to do since the oil filter is located on the top of the engine. I highly recommend this van.
My first and possibly last
The appearance and interior space was a big plus when we purchased our van. However, after only 60K miles I've decided this is my last Kia. In the past I have owned a Jeep Cherokee and a Nissan Quest. I guess once you get use to an automobile that doesn't send you to the shop on a routine basis you get a little spoiled. Our Sedona has sent us to the shop for a loose drivers seat (twice, plastic hardware), a bad seatbelt, constant sqweeking noises in the rear door, airbag, two AC fans, the 'Oh Crap' handle in the passenger seat came out of the roof, the console makes constant noises and now it is making a cracking noise in the front end.
Kis is Worth its Price
The AC compressor has already been replaced once and the dealership and Kia know it's defective because of its coil. The noises inside the van are ridiculous when driving through uneven surfaces. When test driving, make sure you take rough roads to drive on. Once the plastic coverings of the inside of the van are taken off, the feel and interior noise increases dramatically.
Best deal on the Market!
This van is fully loaded-plus, we added on a combo navigation/rear camera system, expensive, but worth it! Car has plenty of power, and transmission is smooth stock tires are adequate, but I will eventually replace them with ultimate quality tires. It's quiet at all speeds. A great plus is the headlights, which light up the road at night like monster floodlights. An important safety advance, in our opinion. We traded in an Odyssey ex- l, and we do not regret it, although, overall, the Kia is not quite as sumptuous as the Odyssey was. But, the price differential was too great to ignore (about $6000 less, comparably equipped). Ergonomics are first-rate; even the sun-roof works easily!
Ruins you for all other cars
I’m not sure why there’s these negative reviews, I have never driven anything so comfortable, so luxurious, so spacious as a 2007 Kia Sedona. Whether you’re driving across town or across country, you will feel instantly transported in this automobile. It’s the smoothest ride you’ll ever know. Do yourself a favor and buy one now if you can, your friends and family will thank you. Did I mentioned the audio system? I have been to concerts at some of the country’s greatest venues, but I’d take this surround sound system any day. Imagine driving up the coastal highway and being at Red Rocks at the same time. Now you’re starting to understand. Neither hottest summer day or most frigid winter night can compare to this climate control. I heard that NASA recently contracted with Kia to design the climate systems for manned trips to Mars. You will understand why. Did you ever wish you had the energy of a 16 year old, the focus of a 30 year old and the wisdom of a 100 year old? A 2007 Kia Sedona conveys to the world that you clearly have all three.

never buy again
I bought a Kia van in 2002 the first one they made it was ok I drove it every day. The 2007 does not add up. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER KIA of any kind. You never see them rated with the best cars to buy. I like the exterior the look of it the paint job last for 2 years, the engine light come on in all of them. I have several friend with kia cars and the engine light can on in every ones car I new. kia will not help you with the complaint you have about there cars.
nothing but problems
good performance. poor build quality
Don,t ever buy this Van.
I bought a KIA sedona Ex 2007 model in May, 2008. Lots of electrical problems. Now the whole electrical system failed. No light inside the van. Doors do not open. Air bag light is on. I cannot take this van anywhere reliably. Laura
good for the money
I bought the vehicle new in 11/07, have 30,000 miles on it and for the most part has been a great vehicle. I do have a rattle that sounds like it's coming from the back but no one can seem to find the source, the handles that help you in/out are very poorly built, 3 out of 4 of mine have already came out. the windshield motor is gone now and when i tried to go buy one they say it's a dealer part. I regret not buying the extended van as the regular short base has no more room than my previous car. But those are all minor, the experience I have had with this van has been exceptional, no regrets. I have 3 other family members that have been kia owners and all were very happy with theirs.
Great Van
My wife and I looked at almost every van on the market and for the money the Kia was by far the best performing, best handling, best riding van out of them all. The Sienna had a few options the Kia did not that we liked but it was not worth the extra money. We also have been averaging 18 MPG with the constant stop and go with the A/C system running and I really like the torque the Kia has. Very happy with the purchase, never thought I would go with a Korean made vehicle but they did it right on this one.
Keeps going.
We’ve had a few issues but nothing major. It has 222k miles. We’ve taken it on cross country trips 3 times now and pulled a pop up camper with it this summer. It’s been quite a ride and has me wondering how much farther it could go.
John's Folly
Overall this vehicle is fun and functional. I opted for base model without all options. I wanted the flat floor and cargo capacity. I normally don't carry more than one or two adults. I love the heavy duty tires 225x70x16 and six bolt wheels. Will carry a fantastic load. Very fast.
Love, Love Love this car!
We bought this car under pressure. The old Nissan Quest was on it's last legs (HATED that car!), and we needed something quick. We looked at the Dodge Grand Caravan and it wasn't all that. We looked at an '08 Sedona LX and really liked it, then we noticed a leftover '07 EX on the lot and took it for a drive. Immediate infatuation! I really love driving this car! It's comfortable, has all the features we wanted (but didn't think we could afford) and the price was right.
Enjoy driving the van better then SUV
After hours of reading reviews, price checking with dealers online, this was the only one I test drove and loved prior to doing so. It is extremely comfortable for both of my girls, and we all love to drive it. Very easy to drive and maneuver.
Best overall minivan
I test drove the Honda, Toyota,and Nissan. The Sedona was always near or at the top of every test I put it through. At roughly 8k less than the others fully loaded it was an easy decision. To this point I have no regrets. The van does everything it needs to do, it does it safely and I would say it's the best family vehicle on the road. For those who value safety the Sedona has the best crash test rating ever for a minivan and has all the active safety equipment standard. For a vehicle this size fuel economy is decent, and power is plentiful.
Great People mover
Owned 2 Ford Windstars, tired of constant mechanical issues. Did a lot of research before i brought the Sedona EX. After 7 months of owning the Sedona Ex best can still say its a great vehicle. Sedona is extremely solid, we have the ex w/ leather and entertainment pack.interior materials are of good quality, extremely roomy, great storage. I love the sunroof, and side windows that go down. Transmission is very smooth. Gas mileage has been combined 22 mpg. I love driving this van, feels like your driving a luxury vehicle. Has a lot of pep for a minivan (245 HP).Quality is right up there with Honda and Toy. You won't be disappointed. Great warranty, highest safety ratings, great price.
2007 Kia Sedona
Sixteen months & 25,000 miles with lots of enjoyment and zero malfunctions. Excellent product at a great price.
Best Vehicle I Ever Owned
I traded in my 2006 Tahoe in on the Sedona. I needed a vehicle that gets better fuel mileage and still has enough room for at least 7 people. The Sedona is definitely that vehicle. I have had this vehicle for 4 months and I already have 13,000 miles on it. I take my Sedona everywhere. This vehicle is perfect for traveling. I love the large space behind the 3rd row when the 3rd row is up. Driving the Sedona is definitely fun and a pleasure. It has plenty of pickup and a very comfortable ride. Took it on a 2,000 mile road trip and averaged 25 miles per gallon. I would definitely recomend this vehicle to anyone.
Power to Surprise
I chose the Kia minivan over several others I test drove. It has a nice driving feel to it. It looks nice as far as minivans go, and it has a good warranty. It's a good value for the money when you throw in the 100,000 warranty. I was very disappointed when the transmission locked in park and it stranded my three young kids and me thirty miles from home. Unfortunately KIA agreed to tow the car to the dealership but didn't offer to provide us with a ride home or contact a rental car company. Kia's slogan is "The power to surprise." They got that right. I was surprised that a car would break down after only six weeks and 3,600 miles.
You get what you pay for.
I am shooting myself in the foot by giving this van a poor review, but so far, I have to have the air conditioner compressor worked on, the sliding passenger door scrapes, the steering wheel whooshes when you make a turn, the transmission clunks when shifting into drive, my driver's seat squeaks and juts forward, the ignition has locked on me four times in the past three days, there are blind spots in the wind shield pillars and when using the visors, it bottoms out on bumps and sways on cornering the airconditioning has a musty smell, the mileage is much less than promised, and the KIA dealership tried to rip me off on the service agreement. Now other than that, things are just fine.
Sedona Forever
With only 55,000 miles on it, this Kia Sedona has many trouble free years in front of it. Second and third row seats have more leg room than most other mini vans, but that still is not a lot. Tires are relatively new (less than one year), and the motor is clean and has never failed us. I usually keep a vehicle for 6-7 years, but this one we kept for ten because it is so good. Now it's time to move on. You can't go wrong with this 2007 Kia Sedona.

07 KIA Sedona-Great car-great value
Purchased a 07 Sedona left-over. The Kia is more than I expected. The overall quality is very good. Looked at JD Power - rates Sedona higher than Honda Odyssey. The ride is very quiet, handling is great for a large car. The Sedona weighs in at 4600 lbs. I was very impressed at the pick-up. The Sedona has a Punch when you step on the accelerator. Also the storage behind the 3rd row seats is very large. We used to need a car Carrier on our windstar to haul all of our luggage. That's not going to be the case with the Sedona. The Sedona is all luxury, I can't get over how quiet and smooth the ride is. Plus your driving one of the safest vehicles on the road. Plenty of interior storage.
Have had problems with my Kia Sedona LX
Yes the Kia is very comfortable and has lots of nice gadgets, the kia does drive well and gains speed pretty quickly, aside from that I have had more of a headache with it then what it is worth: I have had to take my KIA in 3 times already within 2 months time. The power sliding doors do not open so I have to manually pull them open, my Kia will start only when IT wants to! First I was told it was the junction box that needed to be replaced and now it is supposedly the "body control module" that now needs to be replaced. As a mother with four children I am very busy with school, sports, work, etc. I absolutely need a reliable form of transportation this van is NOT reliable!
2007 Kia Sedona
Was aiming for Toyota Sienna but got bogged down with extras I didn't want or ask for. Also liked Kia's five-year bumper-to-bumper warranty and ten-year power train warranty. I also liked saving $4,000 over the Toyota/Honda version. So far we have no complaints, very satisfied.
Minivan Done Right
This is the first minivan I've really liked, very well thought out. With 10K on the odometer we've had no problems. Recommend comparing the Sedona directly with an Odyssey EXL or Touring and you'll probably find the Sedona a much better buy in terms of included features, safety, warranty and most of all price. Built on the same assembly line, the Sedona is basically a Hyundai Entourage with a simpler option package for a few thousand dollars less. Comfortable flip-forward middle seats make more sense than stow-and-go for us, plus you get more ground clearance. Love the euro-styling, 17" alloy wheels, Michelin tires and sport shifter.
I love my Sedona
When I test drove this vehicle I couldn't believe how smooth and quiet the drive was, very surprising for a minivan. The interior is very roomy and comfortable, you can stretch out and really relax. The 2nd row seating is very comfortable. I got this van because I needed more room for my grandbabies, and it really gives me the room that I needed, plus the comfort. It has a lot of power, it can get up and go when you need it to. I love it.
Not as impressed as others
Leased 2007 Sedona July 2007. 1 week later needed the DVD replaced. Power sliding doors decided to work or not when they felt like it and don't always close securely, sometimes opening back up for no reason and often hearing a crunching sound also. Fuse box needed replaced, no wipers. Tire pressure system often shows all tires are low for no reason. Sunroof leaks. DVD blocks rear mirror when driver's seat is raised. Driver needs to be a contortionist to operate and remove dvds for small children while driving.
Nice Smooth Van Lacks some comfort
I've only owned this van 1 month. Great van overall but has a few problems. Rear hatch door leaks during heavy rain. Rattle in rear and windows rattle. Stereo should be better for standard issue. Had a Mazda MPV - trans went so I bought this van. Love it's handling. But slow from go, super fast and smooth passing. Crappy gas mileage compared to my Mazda of more weight. Hate the drivers seat adjustments. I'm short and you can't lower the front of the seat so on long rides my legs fall asleep. The wheel rims make the van look cheap even though it's a beautiful looking car. Hazard button is right under stereo controls, they turn on often! Love the safety features! Buying EX model next time.
Explorer
Purchased short wheel based version. Noticed that it suffers for fuel mileage, but makes up for it in cargo, and convenience. I travel, and got rid of a 2003 Ford Taurus, which got excellent mileage, and had 140,000 miles. But I am retired and needed the cargo capacity and leg room.
The unknown smarter choice
This van wasn't on my list of vehicles to purchase. However after reading the reviews and taking many different test drives, I really began to appreciate this van. The engine performs well. The dash and controls are fantastic. Exterior design is very nice. And to top it off the price tag is fairly reasonable. Anyone wishing to purchase the Odyssey or the Sienna really are doing themselves a disservice if they don't at least test drive the Sedona first. They will come to the same conclusion that I came to and manage to keep a few bucks in your pocket.
The price is right
After comparing this to Honda, Toyota and Dodge, the Kia Sedona was a no-brainer. I find the styling of the Kia more attractive and SUV-like. The performance is outstanding for a minivan. The warranty was a big factor in our purchase decision, but I believe the build quality is close to if not equal to Toyota and Honda. What sealed the deal though is that by far and away the Kia gives you the most for your money.
