2007 KIA SEDONA Complaints

CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES, UNLESS YOU TAP THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, THEN IT STARTS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU STALL IN TRAFFIC AND CAN'T GET THE CAR STARTED. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE REQUIRE KIA TO DO A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HIT AND KILLED. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THANK YOU.
