Replying to: kiaray (Dec 21, 2007 6:07 pm) having a sub-frame go, that seems a bit different, like they were using inferior metals that either corroded (rusted), or fatigued under stress and bent and/or fractured. i suppose if the bushing materials failed and you had metal on metal contact, then you'd have to have particular elements replaced, like perhaps a sway-bar or a wheel arm or something like that.... but not a whole sub-frame. there is something about your description that causes me confusion and no-doubt may cause others similar confusion.  your report could help others if you were more specific. was it something in the front or rear-end? were was the problem? did you see what failed? do you have the wording from your service record? it may help other owners to know what to be vigilant about.

Replying to: capecoralbill (Dec 22, 2007 2:38 am) I called a dealelrship in Charleston, SC and they said if I could leave the van for a few days they would work on it. The problem is they are 3 hours away meaning we would have to drive down then home and back again to pick up the van. That may be the way we go because it is so frustrating. The Kia dealer here has fixed absolutely nothing we have taken the van in for. |

Replying to: user777 (Dec 22, 2007 5:58 am) Paperwork from dealership reads: Customer states when driving over bumps the front end sounds like it is bottoming out Subframe bushings loose Replaced subframe I'm not mechanically inclined, so know nothing about bushings. Didn't realized until I read your response and dug out the paperwork that it stated the subframe bushings were loose. Service manager told me when they initially diagnosed the problem that it was the result of worn bushings. Worn, loose, whatever - they had to replace the entire subframe. Part number is 62405-4D100, Noun is Crossmember Complete I did not see the replaced part.

Replying to: kiaray (Dec 25, 2007 11:57 am) but your whole sub-frame was replaced... and that is interesting. perhaps i have the wrong idea what a sub-frame is. to me anyway, it seems your work-order isn't very descriptive or complete; to me the damage or the problem or whatever was much more extensive than one or more bushings. |

Replying to: kyle11 (Dec 27, 2007 9:41 pm) I DO LOVE THE Van. The steering is tight, which I don't like. In fact what is it with the HUGE DIAMETERS in the steering wheels these days. It is truly uncomfortable and not only the Kia, but all other minivans I have driven. You get a lot of car for the money; however, the stress of trying to get anything fixed on one is really not worth it. I wish I had selected Honda or Toyota instead. |
