Replying to: dougv (May 22, 2008 1:46 pm) The purpose of the post Doug is to bring some balance to the non stop post of problems. When I say very little highway I mean percentage wise. When on the highway normal cruise speed here is between 65 - 75. Just for your information the van has been up past 100 mph, without my family inside of course, just to test how she did. She did very well surprisingly. Anyway, I was not trying to bring consolation to anyone just wanted to state how satisfied I am with my van. If stating this offends anyone or causes negative reactions I find that incredibly pathetic. Also, my point still stands that forums are one of the worst places to get fair unbiased opinions about a vehicle. Glad you got a good one. I wish people with good ones would come and post as well.

Replying to: meninblack454 (May 27, 2008 6:08 pm) We bought an 08 Sedona in the UK in March. We had the vibration / pulling to the left problems which led me here when I search the web. It started around 40mph and got worse at higher speeds.   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 10:43 am) Hi All, 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. Replies to this message: capecoralbill (Dec 18, 2008 3:58 am)

Replying to: lacoydr1 (Dec 17, 2008 11:05 am) I posted this 2 days ago in the Hyundai Entourage section. :"Hi, I purchased my 2007 Entourage in November of 2006, and I just replaced the Michilins for the first time at 22,000, they were NOT down to the wear strip, but they were getting close. It is winter here in Buffalo NY and I wanted a full tread so I got the tires prematurly. they are Kumho KR 21's I think. And they balanced perfectly, they got rid of that vibration i had at 73mph. Ahh! everything is good. Cost $131 each including tax and everything. " I hope my vibration is gone for good.
#90 of 92 Still a problem on the 2008 Sedona LX! by carguymn Mar 24, 2009 (10:19 am)
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? Replies to this message: lavrishevo (Mar 24, 2009 2:46 pm)

Replying to: carguymn (Mar 24, 2009 10:19 am) Sounds like you may have one or more a rims out of round. I have an 06 and do not have any vibration problems at an speed. Otherwise, I can not think of anything else.
#92 of 92 Vibration... by stiller12 Mar 27, 2009 (6:25 am)
Replying to: lemonade3 (Mar 18, 2008 5:57 am) I was told that the dealer could "sand" the rotors and that is where the vibration was coming from. We didnt want to spend 200.00 on a vehicle that has been in the shop for squeaks and squeals at least 7 times. Kia as a company and their service is indeed a crock. I wish everyone on here luck in their exploits.   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!
