Replying to: kistep (Jul 13, 2007 6:51 am) Just got a used '07 Kia on Saturday. Noticed the same thing. Thought it might be the stability control feature on these vans. Turned it off but still does the same thing you're talking about. Guess its just the way they're made. Thought I'd let you know, you're not the only one who noticed this.   Jeremy

Replying to: kiagirl29 (Jul 08, 2007 3:25 am) I have a 2002 kia sedona with 59,250 miles and have had the van since Jan 2006. I had to have the alternator replaced about 6 weeks ago and today found out that I have a valve that is bad and needs to be repaired. I noticed the valve issue a couple of days ago due to the smell coming thru the vents and today had issues with the engine pinging and being sluggish during exceleration. Was told that I should not drive the van because the issue could cause the whole engine to seize which will require a new engine then. I also have an issue with the AC not putting out cold air. I love the roominess but hate the issues. By the way, do a google search of 2002 kia sedona recalls. There are 3 recalls. Replies to this message: browning4 (Jun 03, 2008 10:16 am)
#14 of 23 Many issues by ch8265 Sep 28, 2007 (5:04 pm)
I have a 2002 kia sedona with 59,250 miles and have had the van since Jan 2006. I had to have the alternator replaced about 6 weeks ago (which cost me roughly $325) and after it was replaced, the air bag indicator light remained on. The auto repair shop could not correct this. It has to be reset by the dealership at a cost of approx $49.00. Today I found out that I have a valve that is bad and needs to be repaired. I noticed the valve issue a couple of days ago due to the smell coming thru the vents and today had issues with the engine pinging and being sluggish during exceleration. Was told that I should not drive the van because the issue could cause the whole engine to seize which will require a new engine then. I also have an issue with the AC not putting out cold air. Heaven only knows what this issue is. I will worry about that next spring. I love the roominess but hate the issues. By the way, do a google search of 2002 kia sedona recalls. There are 3 recalls. I also am in need of new brakes. Gotta commend the employees at Autozone who have taken the time to troubleshoot the problems for me so that when I take the van to the repair shop, I'm educated and knowledgeable.
#15 of 23 hi rpm. by hercchief Jan 17, 2008 (8:24 am)
Hello all,    I am new to this forum and thanks for any input. My wife has an 02 kia sedona w/ 95K. When it is driven for a while and she stops, the engine will rev to 3k for no reason. This happen during the summer and i changed out the throttle position sensor, had the fuel injectors cleaned, serviced the transmission and the problem went away, yesterday it was doing it again. The van is placed in park and the rpm is about 3500. Turn off the ignition and restarted with no problems. I was wondering whether anybody has had this issue before and if yes, is there some sort of TSB from Kia since my powertrain warranty is fast approaching. Thanks

Replying to: kistep (Jul 13, 2007 6:51 am) This is not normal. Mine will coast forever/endlessly.

Replying to: bowtiefan1 (Jul 14, 2007 7:43 pm) That salesman would probably tell you that if you tied double knots in your shoe laces that it would run better. It is not normal. My 2007 will coast forever. I use the manual mode to slow it down it coasts so easily and fast.

Replying to: ch8265 (Sep 28, 2007 4:52 pm) Dont let KIA BS you. Mine will coast forever fast as hell. I have to use manual to slow it down to stay off the breaks. There is no coast resistance whatsoever.

Replying to: smulvey (Apr 30, 2007 6:35 pm) Mine klunks, more like slams/jerks in first gear but does not get stuck. The shop will be looking at it tomorrow. Whatever it is it was loud, very disturbing and makes me regret buying a KIA
#20 of 23 Shift Lock Override by cricket830 Nov 22, 2008 (6:31 am)
I am having trouble with my 2002 KIA Sedona locking in park. I have to use the override to release it. Is there an assembly you can purchase for this problem. And what will it damage if I have to keep using the override? Can you disconnect the system from the vehicle?
