Tha backup camera, windshield wipers stopped working. The car would no t go in reverse or drive forward without resistance. Oil began leaking from the engine.

Unknown. I've replaced the alternator and battery. The alternator many times and still having lights come on. Mostly the "brake and battery " lights. It's sitting till further notice. Not drive able.

I have replaced my oil pressure sensor two times due to oil leaks since I have owned the vehicle at my own expense. I say a recall for the exact problem (19v101) for 2011-2012 kia Sedona. My engine is leaking again so I call kia about this and thy said that even though I have a 2012 Sedona that my VIN is not covered. Since I have already replaced this two times I find it hard to believe that my van is not having the same issues as the vehicles covered in the recall. If that is the case. That would mean that there are other 2012 Sedona's out there that may have the same problem but never get notified about the recall.

Large plumes of white smoke from excessive engine sludge buildup in motor, towed it to the dealership they claim improper maintenance is the issue. Talked to kia corporate and despite other known sludge issues on other vehicles the say this vehicle does not have the issue. They've now had my van for 6 months while fighting to get them to cover under warranty. Bought it with 29k miles it now only has 56k miles on the engine, I've owned it for a little more than a year and a half. I'm still making payments on a vehicle that's worthless and unsafe to drive right now. Had regular oil changes done and bought the extended warranty because we planned on having it for a long time. I was told it needs a new engine replacement costing $8200 for a vehicle I paid $13000 for. This s not executable and don't believe their story. I would have bought a new vehicle if I had known I'd be on the hook for another 8 grand in a little over a year of ownership. So angry!!!.
