I own a 2004 kia Sedona 3. 5l that I purchased on 08-31-2010 with 53638 miles on it. On 01-25-2011 as I was driving I heard a rattling from the engine compartment. I stopped to open the hood and confirm that it was coming from the engine, it was. I drove to the nearest auto mechanic and had it diagnosed to be told that I had a blown engine and it would have to be replaced. I had it towed to he local kia dealership to be looked at further. The engine was opened up to be inspected. I was told that the #6 cylinder was coming apart and that I would have to replace the engine. The van currently ha only 59430 miles on it. It is under the 60000 mile warranty mark but over the 5 year portion. I have been made aware that there was a kia service bulletin that mentioned that the 2004 kia Sedona 3. 5l engine had scoring on the #6 cylinder from the manufacturing process which also resulted in a gasket defect or malfunction. This clearly should be covered under warranty service. This is not the only case of this specific problem with the #6 cylinder.

The van will lunge or cut-off while being driven. The dealership has repeated this problem with several employees. No one knows what is causing this or how to repair. So they keep giving it back to us un-repaired.

None.

When driving the vehicle started to shake and then shut down. The dealer changed the engine and the defect occurred again, the vehicle was placed on the computer and no defects have been found.
