Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On two occasions we were unable to shift the van out of the park position. It appeared to be stuck. The first time it happened, my husband shut the van off, and turned it back on and it fixed the problem. The second time it happened, I was able to shift it out of park, but the ESC light lit up on the dash board. After doing research on line, I realized this is a major problem on past Kia Sedona models and I am concerned for my safety and the safety of my children in this vehicle. I have called the dealership and am awaiting a response.”
