NHTSA complaint #10911373, filed 2016-10, 3 miles“On my cruise control when I set to certain speed, it will speed up, I had it set to 65 MPH and it sped up by itself to 85 before I could get it to go off. I had to slam on the break to get it to go off. This has happened several times. Now the car will not start all the lights will come on, but car will not do anything. Checked fuses all good, ground wire was taken loose and paint grinder off and put back on, still won't start. It started not starting every now and then and now it won't start at all.

NHTSA complaint #11307500, filed 2020-02, 170,000 miles“I purchased my Kia Sedona in april 2006. On average, four times a year I will press the accelerator pedal and the RPM's will go up but the vehicle will not move forward. I have to then release the accelerator pedal and press it again for it to catch and move forward. The 1st time was while on vacation in san diego in 2006. On 4-5 occasions the problem almost caused a serious accident. I have reported it several times, but since Kia cannot find a code they claim that they cannot fix the problem.”
