Ive now got my Sedona into my local dealership and the mechanic telephoned me to say he could not find anything up with my vehicle. This has made me question my driving abbility and wonder if im driving correctly, my wife assures me that i am and it is the car, but it does make you wonder how and why these mechanics are telling customers these things are thy trying to keep costs down by not fixing the fault under the manufactors G`tee. if any one has any information from kia can they email me with details please davidwilliams404btinternet.com as im fighting a loosing battle with kia and i dont want to get into the car with my children as i dont think its safe to do so. my car is a 2005 model.

The pulling of the car there is a fix for this and it stems from the above posted TSB. You of course have to make sure you are on level road to perform this test. A vehicle will pull to the left or right if the road is concaved. As far as your gear box goes I have not heard of problems with them before. Do you give the van time to go into gear? With the electronic controlled transmission it takes it a few seconds before it gets into gear. A little annoying to be honest but when I shift from lets say R to D I give the van about 2 - 3 seconds before starting off with just my foot on the brake. It seems to like this, if I hit the gas right away after the shift it is not happy. You have to give it a little time to engage. Just the nature of this beast. If this is not your problem please go into further detail.
