| 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. | |

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

| 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? | |
| I have a 2001 Kia Sedona and now when the revs get to about 2 1/2 3000 revs it starts to lurch and kangaroo hop i'm guessing its a turbo fault could anyone confirm this if its not the turbo what is it please please help | |

I own a 2002 KIA Sedona. 170,000 miles. From a cold start sometimes the forward gears will not engage. It seems as if the linkage from the shifter lever is locked out from the transmission. When is dose engage everything runs fine and the transmission shifts as normal. I never know when it is going to happen. One day it will connect and run fine, the next it will not. No bangs, clangs or slippage just no connection. Reverse always works. I am scared to death of taking it to a transmishion shop when it could be a simple fix. HELP !
