As I was approaching an intersection and I started to apply the brakes, the van suddenly accelerated, when I pressed hard on the brake still it wouldn't stop. . . Call kia Sedona authorized dealer, they said there's no recall. As I researched the internet, I notice that car gurus(which is a car forum) over 33 people had complaint with the same problem. There were an accident with fatalities even. I'm very concern as I drive with all my kids specially my grandson often, and it scares the crap out of me to think that I would get involved in an accident with the little one on board. A lot of people did the diagnostics that the dealer suggested, after paying over $110 plus taxes, the car is still showing the same problem. I really need somebody to tell me what am I supposed to do? I'm still paying for the vehicle, I'm scared to drive it anywhere specially the highway. . . Help please. . .
2nd of 2 incidents in 2 days! next day while turning sharply to park in a parking spot (approx. 120-140 degree angle) the car suddenly accelerated as driver straightened out wheel to continue forward into parking spot. Strong and quick slamming on of brakes stopped vehicle just before hitting car in space in front of the one where car was being parked. Kia dealer was called, referred to roadside assistance and car towed to dealer to inspect for problem. Driver refused to drive the vehicle.
My 2008 kia Sedona accelerate unexpectedly. It has done this several times starting in oct 2009. I can be driving along and it will suddenly accelerate on its own. If you apply the brake it takes a great deal of force to get the vehicle stopped, if you're lucky. This has happened several times.
