2007 KIA SEDONA Complaints

WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATE THE GAS PEDAL GETS STOCK, THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE ALREADY AND THREE MONTHS.

I PURCHASED IN 2008. I HAVE HEARD THE AXLE OR TIRE ROD MAKE SQUEAKING NOISE ON EVERY BUMP OR DIP. EVERYTIME I MENTION TO SHOP MECHANIC AND THEY CHECK, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. AFTER 96000 MILES THEY TELL ME THEY CANNOT GIVE ME A ALIGNMENT BECAUSE I NEED NEW TIRE RODS. THE SAME VEHICLE I HAVE COMPLAINED FOR 9 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS BENT FORWARD, TOUCHING THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S SON'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT'S SON WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL A LOCAL DEALER.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 183,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE ESC LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN MY KIA SEDONA FOR TWO YEARS ON AND OFF NOT UNTIL RECENTLY DID I REALIZE WHEN THIS HAPPED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. I BROUGHT CAR IN AND WAS CHARGED $250 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. I SAW THIS WAS A RECALL ON 2007 KIA SEDONA BUT DEALER STATED IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY KIA SEDONA HOW CAN THE SAME EXACT THING THAT HAPPENED ON ALMOST 1 MILLION KIA AND HYUNDAI NOT BE THE SAME THING ON MY KIA SEDONA. I BELIEVE MY KIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL AND I SHOULD BE ISSUED A REFUND FOR THIS REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING MY HUSBANDS KIA IT PICKS UP SPEED IF GOING OVER 40 MPH IT WILL SHUT OFF AND WE GET NO POWER TO THE GAS PEDDLE IT HOLDS ALOT OF HEAT FROM THE MOTOR THE SIDE DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE WHEN THEY WANT ..BUT MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE GAS PEDDLE AND THE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, YOU SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER. THE ESC OFF LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT'S LIKE THE PEDAL IS NOT THERE. YOU COULD BE GOING 50 MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY DROP DOWN TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS A FEW CODES THAT COME UP: P2106 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-FORCED LIMITED POWER P2138. THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH "D"/"E" VOLTAGE CORRELATION. THERE ARE OTHER CODES THAT CAME UP BEFORE AND IT ALSO CAUSED THESE ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. SOMETIMES YOU CAN TELL ITS GOING TO TURN ON THE ESC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT AND GOING TO LOOSE POWER AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ALL OF A SUDDEN. WHEN RESEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH KIA ESPECIALLY THE SEDONAS.

THE VEHICLE WILL FROM TIME TO TIME SUDDENLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. HAS OCCURRED WHILE SLOWING TO COME TO A STOP AND WHILE SPEEDING UP TO NORMAL OPERATING SPEEDS. WHEN IT HAPPENS BRAKING DOES NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION THE SPEED CONTINUES TO INCREASE.

THE ENTIRE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY IS RUSTED AND SHIELD IS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF CRUMBLING. AFTER THE LAST RECALL ON THE CONTROL ARM, THE VEHICLE BEGAN THUMPING AT EVERY TURN. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE BEARINGS SEIZED UP. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE WHEEL HUB, ATTACHMENT BOLTS, AND SHIELD ARE ALL RUSTED IN PLACE.
