2003 Kia Sedona Engine cooling Problems

“In my Kia Sedona minivan I had purchased brand new only because of the warranty I took kids to school oil light came on and when I tried to crank back no. They towed to the local Kia dealership and the said it was not warrantable.”

“I purchased my 2003 Kia Sedona in november 2005. So far the following have been repaired or replaced: front hub assembly left side once, right side 2x's, the alternator, the wiper motor, two recalls, the battery, now at 65,000 miles the transmission is shot and needs to be replaced and the timing belt has been replaced. However the warranty company says they wont replace it because the cost of the repair exceeds the value of the car. This is simply outrageous. I have brought the car to the dealer for every service needed. Transmission, oil filter ect.”

“Car has been huge headache bought new in 2003 has been towed twice for leaking coolant lines that rusted out. Last time was on vacation Kia has not returned on phone call or e-mail as it cost me 300 dollars and car is under bumper to bumper warranty has 34k miles . Drivers door handle broke and airbag light was on fixed by dealer. One brake pad lining fell off at 25k miles replaced myself. Most important we had a rear tire blow out at 60 MPH in three lanes of traffic. Tire shredded apart with 28k miles and was new york inspected 2 months earlier. …”

“2003 Kia Sedona ex caught on fire 07/11/10. Vehicle was parked for more than an hour and not running. Resultant vehicle destroyed and surrounding vehicles had melted components, driver side mirrors, roof rack, bumpers, headlights and cracked windshield due to explosion and launch of a reach strut.”

“At approximately 55,000 miles my Kia Sedona van had a broken engine mount. Now, at approximately 65,000 the van has an additional two broken engine mounts -- that is a total of three broken engine mounts in only 65,000 mile's!! This is incredibly dangerous -- and this shouldn't happen with this frequency, if at all!!”
