Kia Sedona 2003 Fuel System, OtherKia Sedona 2003 Fuel System, Other Review #10091216 KIA SEDONA 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 16, 2004.KIA SEDONA 2003, manufactured by KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER . i've had many problems with my 2003 kia sedona. the emergency brake has never been right. the brakes were replaced at 13k miles, again at 24k miles (front & back) and i'm sure they need to be replaced again at 40k miles. at 22k miles i took the van to the shop for brakes only to be told that both wheel bearings, the left strut (they refused to replace both struts since it was warranty but if i was paying for the repairs they would recomend replacing in pairs) and the power steering pump was going out (which the manager said he was doing me a favor by telling me about). i have also complained of the a/c taking forever to cool down, had a sensor replaced for the gas tank after the check engine light came on and service to the drivers seatbelt. then yesterday during a storm i went through a puddle about 4 or 5 inches deep which splashed water on my van for a couple of seconds and about 50 feet down the road the van died and could not be restarted. upon having it towed to the kia dealer i was told that my airfilter had gotten wet and that there was "dish soap" in my airfilter which would be considered customer damage and not covered by warranty. i also complained about more noises coming from the front and a grinding noise when i begin acceleration in low gears. they requested i make an appointment for service on those issues. in addition, i purchased this vehicle on 4/23/03, when i tried to file a complaint about my service on the wheel bearing, etc with kia they had no record of me ever purchasing this van. apparently in their minds my van was sold to someone else on 2/27/03. this means if there is ever a recal or service notice sent out i would not receive them. in addition they had my warranty expiration date set at 2/27/03. i spoke with several people concerning this issue and was assured that this would immediately be corrected, however yesterday when i called for assistance i was told that the van was still listed as being sold to another person. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40295 miles.

Kia Sedona 2003 Seat Belts Front Buckle Assembly Review #10134141 KIA SEDONA 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 17, 2005.KIA SEDONA 2003, manufactured by KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY . i have had my 2003 kia sedona a little over 2 years. i bought it new from a dealer. since 2002, i have had problems with the front seat belt sensors, to the point both have had to be replaced. when this sensor does not operate properly, the "airbag needs servicing" light comes on. with that light on, the van will not pass inspection (va state inspection). the first time this happened, the dealership was out or stock of the replacement seatbelt assembly, but they gave me one from another car while we waited for my parts to come in. they never came in. now, the 2nd one has gone bad, and i am still waiting for a part. evidently, where the dearlership orders parts from kia is out of stock of these items due to high volume of replacement. i am (1) concerned that so many of these are going bad that the company has run out of stock, and (2) worried that failure of this sensor could result in my airbag not working properly. i have now been waiting over 4 months for the replacement parts, and they are still not available from the dealer. this item is not covered by warranty, and it does not appear to be a recall item. but shouldn't a safety item like that cause a recall since it involves personal safety and the passive restraint operation? and if that many are failing, doesn't that cause concern from the nhtsb?.Kia Sedona 2003 problem was reported in STEPHENS CITY, VA.

(new tires were put on in february 2006). i replaced these at the next exit. took van to kia dealer the next week, they replaced with oem lug nuts. the following week, i noticed a lug nut was missing again from the same wheel. took to kia, they replaced. 2 weeks later, i noticed a lug nut missing from same tire again. took to kia to be replaced and they said they didn't know why they kept falling off, had not seen this before. 2 months passed, and i tried to rotate my tires in early oct. one stud snapped off, and another seized up, if i tried to get it off, it would have snapped off also. took it to the dealer today, they replaced 2 studs and the 2 lug nuts. again, no ideas as to why this is occurring. i'm afraid there is something wrong with the wheel studs / wheel assembly, which may result in a wheel separation while driving, resulting in serious injury to passengers/other people, and serious damage to vehicles. i think this should be investigated before someone gets injured/killed. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 57000 miles.
