In general, people search out forum's to try to solve problems or rant and rave not so much to report how well a vehicle is performing.

Replying to: lavrishevo (May 21, 2008 5:16 pm) Purpose of your post?? I'm sure it is no consolation to the ones who posted and got a lemon that you got a good one. If you have read some of my posts you will see how I "ranted and raved" about how good my 08 was when I finally got one. Also since you have "very little highway" maybe you never got your Sedona up to 75-80 mph. Anyway if you are happy with your car thats all that matters. I wouldn't go looking for reasons to be dissatisfied.

Replying to: meninblack454 (May 27, 2008 7:08 pm) We took it back to our Kia Dealer with a long description of the problem and low expectations. The car was returned later the same day, problem fixed. Their cure was in the Master Brake Cylinder, apparently they had to shorten the rod which connects the cylinder to the brake pedal. They didn't say (and I didn't ask) if this is a known fix but they didn't go through the obvious intermediate steps of balancing the wheels etc, so I have to assume this is a known fix for this problem. I know most posters here have US cars, and many have talked about 06 cars so the fix may not be the same, but it certainly worked for me. Since the fix we have driven another 1,000 miles without a re-occurence of the problem. The car also feels much more steady on the road at any speed and has been excellent in every other respect from new. |

Replying to: dougv (Mar 29, 2008 11:43 am) Well I haven't posted in a long time but I have an important update. Today, my rear passenger tire blew out on the highway. I had about 27,000 miles on the Hankook Optimo tires so I decided to replace them all hoping that maybe the issue was bad tires all along. Well, I am happy to report that I replaced them with General Grabber HTS tires and on the way home I ran the van up to 80MPH and I didn't feel any vibration! Of course we are in the colder months and generally, at least for me, the vibration is reduced in the colder months. But, to not experience any vibration is astounding for me. Of course through all the trials and tribulations I went through the dealer assured me they "swapped out" all four tires and wheels. But, I gotta tell ya, if it keeps driving as smoothly as it is now then I will be a happy camper and will probably keep the van until it's paid off. Hope this gives some of you hope. Happy Holidays to all.

I just purchased a new 08 Sedona LX and have had it in twice for the vibration problems at highway speeds. The first time I was told 3 of the 4 tires were out of balance and that is what was causing the problem. I thought great, that's an easy fix only to discover on my drive home that the vibration still exists. I made a second appointment and was told that all Sedona's have this problem and nothing can be done. They let me drive another new Sedona from the lot and it did have the same issue. The vibration drives me crazy! Does anyone have any ideas?

Replying to: lemonade3 (Mar 18, 2008 6:57 am) I wish I spent the other 15.00 a month and bought a Honda. We cannot drive our Kia on a road trip without so many squeaks and noises happening to the point that we are stressed out, Our van had to be built on a Monday! |
