So far the only recall on my car was for a latch sensor. That's a third recall, one that is not on the above list. Any others? Regarding Sienna recalls: http://www.carseverything.com/256/20...a-recalls.html Not a single one. Sienna is built in the USA. |

http://www.carseverything.com/256/20...a-recalls.html Not a single one. I'd rather have a single recall like I have, rather than Toyota service arguing over why two sets of rotors have warped. The Sienna required a whole new brain to fix the AC problem by the way. I still think the Sienna will be a great minivan when it gets a bigger engine. Are you aware of the Sienna fuel pump issues? You're not doing your homework. As usual I could do far better taking YOUR side! RB 35s5 NY |

As usual I could do far better taking YOUR side! Bob, I'm not taking any side. I'm just pointing out that the 2006 KIA Sedona has had 2+ recalls. The 2006 Toyota Sienna has had none. Toyotas does get problems. The Sienna has a lot of features and complexity, a lot of things could go wrong. The recalls are representative of all cars of that year, model and manufacturing lot. That's why it is a recall. Your friends problems are not indicative of all Siennas or any class of Siennas because it is an individual case. Hot rotors will warp when splashed with cold water at a car wash, rotors will warp from uneven lug nut tightness. There is no fuel pump issue, just an exploding gas tank issue on the 2004 Sienna during an offset front impact. As far as recalls go: KIA 3 TOYOTA 0. |

As far as recalls go: KIA 3 TOYOTA 0. This is true, but the Sienna has had many recalls, like most cars in it's full history with it's current chassis. The Sedona is all new for 2006 and the recalls, effecting a small amount of actual vans, is small. I didn't buy the Sienna because I know several people with them and they have had trouble. It's much worse for the #1 rated Honda if you read the forums. Motortrend rated the Sedona a close second behind the Honda and said it created the most buzz among reviewers because of the high standards it set. When I helped a friend buy a pair of XB's last week, even that dealer admitted the Sienna was now 3rd behind the Sedona. He still prefered the Honda over the Sedona though for it's handling. They're all great minivans, but the Sienna is too long in the tooth now with it's weak powerplant. I'm sure the new Sienna will be #1 when we see it. For now this van is perfect after 9K miles and we just added Garmin navigation, which is more cool than useful...but sometimes it's VERY useful when I'm in NJ! RB 35s5 NY |

1363 of 1369 2006 Sedona EX (Power Sliding Door not always latching) by
thehothit Oct 10, 2006 (10:11 am) Reply | E-mail Msg I have a 2006 Sedona EX with Luxury and Power Packages. The passenger side Power Sliding Door doesn't always close properly - failing to latch. It then either pops slighly open and gives up, or slides open all of the way and beeps. I usually have to try to close the door about 3 or 4 times before it works correctly! The dealer "couldn't reproduce the problem", but it appears as though at least one other person is experiencing the same problem (they've posted a video on youtube). Is anyone else experiencing this problem? #1364 of 1369 2006 Kia Sedona EX mystery problem by gasedona Oct 14, 2006 (6:26 am) Reply | E-mail Msg I purchased my Kia minivan in March 06 and have not had any problems with it until recently. around the 9,200 mile mark on my way to work I felt a ripple going about 45 then a few seconds later the check engine light flashed off and on and my I experienced a great loss of power. I took the van to Kia Mall of Georgia and they said the problem was multiple misfire and the #4 coil was bad. I got the van back and have had the same problem happen between 200 - 300 miles three more times. The second time all spark plugs were changed. the third time the ECU (computer) was changed, and the fourth time the dealer says that the ECU is reading my antifreeze at 46.7 when the problem occurs. They have no idea how to fix this, they have told me that Kia may have to make a software patch or new software to fix the problem. The dealer has my van to drive because the service manager wants to experience exactly what happens when this mystery occurs. The dealer has had my van for a total of 3 weeks going into the fourth. I am thinking here I don't know what else to do. I anyone has experienced this problem and had it fixed let me know. If you have a van now be advised that my problem did not occur until I had 9,200 miles on it. One other remark, This problem can happen when van is started, stopping, or accelerating.

However, I had the problem with the crossbars and solved it myself by just installing them all the way to the front and to the back. The howl I am getting is coming from the driver side a/c vent only on very windy days at highway speed. I suspect a loose hose, valve or something of that sort. No luck with dealership as yet. #1366 of 1369 2006 Kia Sedona EX mystery problem [gasedona] by thehothit Oct 14, 2006 (11:09 am) Reply | E-mail Msg Replying to: gasedona (Oct 14, 2006 6:26 am) Almost 4 weeks at the dealer is unacceptable - can you go to another dealer? Also, maybe you should give Kia themselves a call, and report the problem to them. I suggest that you research the Lemon law in your state.

Has your dealer provided you with a vehicle to drive while he has yours?

Kia corporate is well aware of the problem. I think all this extra driving is a stalling tactic so Kia can have more time to fix the problem #1369 of 1369 2006 Kia Sedona EX mystery problem [tturedraider] by gasedona Oct 15, 2006 (9:01 am) Reply | E-mail Msg Replying to: tturedraider (Oct 14, 2006 12:09 pm) I have had a rental that Kia is paying for on the three of four occasions, they always claim the loaners are all out. This is the last shot for Kia, I will act on the lemon law. |

Rob says it he Subaru is junk!!!

The Sedona you own simply has nothing to do with the new one. No way would I buy a Voyager/Caravan OR the older version of the Sedona. My family had to Caravans and they were both horrible. The 2002-2005 Sedona rep is mediocre at best. You seem to be hoping that the new Kia/Hynduai products are poor, but the facts are already leaning towards a massive improvement. I'm now of the opinion that the Sedona is not only a good value, but probably the best minivan period. A loaded EX gets close enough to 30K, so I can't call it cheap. Still, it's a match for the Honda and Toyota cars and a new Caravan feels like a dinosaur from the switch gear to the powertrain. Does this mean the "new" Sedona is problem free? Of course not. But it's been the most problem free new car we've owned...requiring (so far) one dealer visit and loss of 3-4 hours max. I only wish my buddies Sienna had that record and so does he. My Subaru (a 36K SUV) had loss of TC and antilock 3 times and cost me 3 days of work. Two new caravans suffered steering problems, major electrical issues and worse. RB 35s5 NY |

Oh....Gilly, I had no idea you were trolling. Kia replaced the WHOLE VAN after the fuel pump was making noise and a seat was sticking on the rails. Two or more problems and Kia will recall the vehicle utterly and provide a new one. Did you know about this policy? Hyundai has it and instated it on Kia as well of course. Only Saturn will do the same. Like I said, the Sedona is the most trouble free car we've owned....and I've owned Toyota, Nissan, Subaru and so on. Among them all Subaru is still my favorite. Now, to easily reverse the troll....you simply can't explain away that the Sienna has too small an engine, lesser crash tests, lesser handling and so on. If New Rochelle Toyota admits the Sedona is better, I think Toyota better hurry with their new van...and fast. End of this thread for me. I thought you were looking to discuss MY van...not other people's vans. RB 35s5 NY |

Show us that policy in writing. You lie! |
