However, I know that my
Sedona is worse than other vehicles I've owned even though it has
received good maintenance. .


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.

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.

So KIA is replacing all of its Sedonas since they have had two recalls.

Show us that policy in writing.

You lie!

Price Paid: $24500.00 at Lake Charles Kia

Summary:
We recently purchased a 2006 Kia Sedonna Minivan. It has to be the junkiest
vehicle ever made. It is only 5 months old and is falling apart. It has A/C
problems, shimmies, transmission shifts into neutral for no reason, drivers
seat is loose, dash pad blistered, turn signals do not turn off when
steering wheel is turned opposite direction. Dealer cannot fix problems
because computer does not code up. Has anybody else had any of these
problems? Maybe someone out there with these problems has had the dealer
find out what is wrong with the van, maybe we can all pull together and get
these things recalled. When you gas your van to merge into traffic on a busy
Interstate and it does not move and you have to swerve off the road to avoid
an acccident that is a dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strengths:
Atractive roomy vehicle, Supposed to be safe but never advertise it's
quality. My family has almost been ran over on 2 occassions because vehicle
is in drive but will not move when accelerator is depressed. Engine redlines
like engine in neutral, but is in drive.

Weaknesses:
Vehicle has been in shop over a dozen times, everytime one thing gets fixed
something else breaks

Pros: sliding doors go downand better fuel milage
Cons: Possible recall issue

Sedona hits 65 to 75 mph and the steering wheel developes a severe rocking
and shaking issue. Kia has replaced the front axel, checked the tires and
balance. They have no idea whats causing the problem nor how to correct it.
350 miles on my new sedona and Im in a rental car because they cant fix it.
The dealer has 4 other sedonas in his shop with the same issue.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR

Pros: great warranty, looks good, a lot for the money
Cons: BRAKES BRAKES BRAKES-----

We have had major break problems with this car. Kia just bought it back from
us via the lemon law. Our breaks were down to 5%, on 5 occasions over a
years period. Not good when you have a child. Dont let the warranty fool you
or 5 star crash rating-what good is either when your brakes dont work. This
is a known issue on 2005-2006 models and they are still trying to work on a
solution.

Go buy a Town & Country and dont get caught in the hype-its cheap for a
reason and we figured that out the hard way. I cannot believe this is rated
at the top!

Not happy at all

Pros: nice looking van
Cons: only getting 16,5 miles city or highway, horrible dealership-
Peoria Kia, Peoria, AZ

Not happy at all with the total package. Very bad gas mileage and dealership
is horrible to work with. i have had this van in on three seperate occasions
and feel that nothing improved or was change from their repairs.
