Kia Sedona Engine problem

Bought a 2016 Kia Sedona EX. It was leaking oil before I bought it so the dealership had the leak fixed. However, the day after I brought it home, the oil was still leaking. I was told it was residual. Also, the day after I brought it home, it started overheating. There were air bubbles in the coolant reservoir. I took it back to the dealer and it turned out the be a problem in the engine. Something about the bolts on the engine are plastic and they get stripped allowing air to get in. This seems to be a problem with these cars. Fortunately for me, the dealership made it right and let me choose another vehicle.

Put 100K trouble free miles on my 2012 and it was running and looked just like new. Got the bug for a newer one and a deal popped up on a 20K mile 2016 LX with the features I missed. Now at 55K miles with new tires it handles and is every bit as reliable as my 2012 was. Tracked mileage since I've owned it and getting a consistent 24 mpg urban driving. Ride is carlike and heated seats are perfect for a really bad back. Love it! Update: 65K miles and everything same - same. Replacement Goodyear tires quieted ride down and awesome grip in the wet. No change in gas mileage. I may keep this car forever.

It will be loaded with extras that you have to pay more for in other manufacturers vehicles. Whatever version you get it will give you value and reliability, this is just the most practical van you could hope for I am also blown away by the 22 mpg I am getting with a van.

Good quality and surprisingly stingy on gas. Holds 8 people comfortably while still allowing some storage behind the rear seat. To date no major problems over past 3+ years.

We bought our van right when it came out. It's been a great since. Couple little issues such as rear blind hook, sliding door squeaks. Well built and great value. It feels like a big SUV when we're driving and it has all the amenities like many luxury cars.
