The back frame of my 2006 kia Sedona is all corroded. Cannot drive the car any more. I bought the car in Nov-2006 and in December 2011 I had to change the front frame due to corrosion. In March 2014, I had to change the front suspension due to corrosion and now the back frame is all corroded. I would like that someone really check on kiia's materials. Is incredibly that after 5 years I had to change the front frame. And up today's day. I have the same corrosion issue. I leave in new jersey and I know that in the winter, there is lots of salt on the streets but I have never seen a problem like this on any other brand. This issue goes directly to the safety of the car.

Leaving parking garage turning one of the corners a violent vibration started with a grinding type of noise and was unable to turn the vehicle. Upon inspection the lower right controller arm showed significant signs of rust and had completely broken in two pieces. Looking at the lower left controller arm, significant signs of rust can be seen also. This vehicle has never been in a high salt environment. These are the only 2 pieces on the vehicle with such a high amount of rust.

Over the past year, I have replaced struts, bushings, cv boots, & countless other items on suspension. I have had Sedona looked @ by multiple mechanics. Have driven around w/ me on both occasions. Had three ase certified guys at one time checking everywhere for lose or broken parts. We even checked spare tire & the pressure in it. When I go over any uneven surface, something rattles or clunks under the van. Not a little, a lot! everyone can actually feel it, not just hear it. Cannot pin point location. It seems mostly around spare tire area, but I feel it under driver & passenger area too. Middle & back can feel & hear it. You cannot make it happen over things like speed bumps. Just uneven surfaces. Random. . So embarrassing & making me crazy! I also have had on 5 or 6 occasions when driving, I will take foot off gas as cars slow or exiting up a hwy ramp. When I push to excel, it wont catch but the engine rpms go crazy & engine races. I have to try to let off & reapply foot to gas to get it to grab. I almost got rearended twice! it happens fast, suddenly & far in between. Scares me to death. It is like the transmission is slipping, but had at dealership long ago for this & just like the other stuff, if they cannot make it happen. . . Sorry, out of luck! I now am just under the 100k mark & still cannot get resolve. Cannot sell a clunking car!.

Lter from constituent complaint and demand for action re her 2006 kia Sedona which without warning shut-down due to a catastrophic engine failure. The dealer stated the engine failure was due to sludge build-up. Prior to the engine failure, the consumer stated the brakes were vibrating, noisy and the vehicle was pulling to the right. It was recommended that the brakes and all of the tire be replaced. The dealer also recommended as alignment. The transmission would slip when shifting fro first to second gear. The dealer had to order an input sensor.
I purchased a 2006 kia Sedona October 21st of 2006 and ever since then I have had it in for service about 8-9 times. First few times were for the engine light going on all the time. Then it was shaking of the vehicle and they did a wheel alignment about two times. Took it in again for same shaking problem so they replaced the struts on it. Than the horn went out and the under carriage of the vehicle started shaking while trying to accelerate to 50 miles an hour. They replaced some part on the under carriage but the vehicle is still shaking and is still in the shop waiting to hear from kia in the next part to replace or fix. I have had a rental each time which is fine and dandy, they have picked up the cost but it is just getting frustrating to have a brand new vehicle with only 20 miles on it when purchased to be serviced as many times as it has in the past year. Somehow I do now know if this vehicle is even road safe anymore!!.
When hitting bumps vehicle is making a squeaking / creaking sound fire light front every 3 mon seat belts every time hard to used and now finally broke.
Bulbs constantly going out. Lots of front end issues with noises, clunking mostly. Difficulty seeing due to blind spot where front window and doors meet and where front doors and back sliding door meets.
