In march2016 brakes replace with new pads/rotor due to screech sound. Today when brake pressed steering wheel vibrates. Abs/esc off light came on the other day. Front wheels still vibrate on the highway. Transmission sometimes jerks and stalls the car. A/c not work, but heater always working.

I have a 2005 kia Sedona ex and the brakes have always been a little weak for the vehicle but after having brake issues with the rotors glazing (becoming to hot) and having to replace pads way to often about every 6-8 thousand miles I decided to go online and look up issues and it seems that model year has had severe brake issues that kia knows about and says they are working on an upgrade that the owner can purchase but yet none have been released to date. Multiple owners complaining of exact same issues regarding the braking system being way to small for the vehicle weight and I thought this needed to be at least brought to your attention. Kia's fix is to replace rotors and pads but the vehicles have the exact same symptoms within short period of time. . This could and almost has caused me to be in an accident. Love the van hate the brake system and am currently investigating the use of aftermarket drilled and slotted brake rotors to reduce heating issues. . I am 37 yr old with a wife and 7 year old son and I don't drive my van hard but when I need it to stop I expect it to stop. . .

The contact owns a 2008 kia Sedona. While driving the vehicle at various speeds, the brakes began pulsating and there was excessive vibration in the steering wheel including a burning odor. The stated that the failure could be related to the way she drove the vehicle. A second dealer stated that brakes over heated and the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the brakes should have failed at 15,000 miles. The vehicle will be repaired; however, she stated that the brakes were defective. The failure mileage was 7000 and the current mileage was 15,300. Updated 10/26/09. The rotors overheated and were warped. The air bag light was on. The consumer was also informed tires were need on the vehicle due to cupping. Updated 10/26/09.

I got my 2005 kia Sedona in 5/2006 used. Since that time, I have had to have the brakes replaced (pads and rotors) at least 6 times, have had to have 4 sets of tires and have had to have the air conditioning replaced. The compressor in the a/c went completely out in 2009. This is all in addition replacing spark plugs, fans, etc etc. I have spent a huge amount of money on this van and it still shakes, pulls etc and the brakes are about to have to be replaced again.

Bad misfire. This misfire started at 14,000 miles. I took it into the dealer to have it look at they cold not get it to misfire. As time went on at 20,000 the misfire became worse, we left the van for pm service with the first dealer for one week,we wear on vacation. They called and said that the van was ready,that was on a Friday,I went to pick up the van from the dealer. When I started it and put it in drive it started to miss. I had the service writer come over and I had him fell the miss and you could hear it in the motor compartment,the service writer had the mec look at the van,the mec said and the service writer said the it was the no 2 coil and that kia had a problem with that motor misfiring,I left the van and pick it up on Saturday. They replaced no 2 coil and one plug,they said they did ? the next day,Sunday we went to west palm beach for a craft show,the van sat for 5hr, coming home it misfire. When it misfires at highway speeds the cruise will go off,the trans shifts hard out of over drive then back into over drive, we have come close to getting hit on 95 when this happens. The misfire became worse,we took it to a 2 dealer out in coral springs,the van now has 53,000. They had it for 8 days, reset the ecm,and put new plugs in it. Got it back, still misfiring. The front brakes wore out st 21,000. Replace the brake pads,turn rotors, they last only 27,000. Very bad on brakes. First set of tires 24,000. Replace them with goodyear 70,000. Be lucky to get 40,000. Very bad on tires. Front end to heavy,eats brakes and tires. Had right front cv axle replace do to bearing&seal defect. Right rear bearing hub replace do to defect. We don't fell safe in this van!.

This van has been in 3 times for brakes the rotors keep warping. I have taken it to the kia place twiced and to it to another dealership the third time. I have only had the van for 2 years (may 08). The other dealership says, that I will have to replace the rotors every 6 months. The rotors become warped "excessive lateral run out" per kia the front tires wear excessively, and the vehicle does not stay aligned. All that kia will do is replace the front rotors and pads until the warranty is out then the consumer pays. I have research on line the front brakes are undersized, causing the rotors to over heat and warp. The struts seem to have a wrong type of mount system and have to be replaced. Kia is doing nothing about this they state that it is driving habits. Thousands of people have complained about this, kia's final stand is that it is my driving habits. They are not taking responsibility for the safety flaw in their engineering of the front end being in adequate for the weight of the vehicle. Kia needs to stand up and fix there vans¿. I have replaced 6 tires in the last two years.

Vehicle has multiple brake issues. . . Replaced front rotor and pads 3 times, and replaced front wheel bearings twice. Vehicle was bought with 7,226 miles and now has 20,000 miles. The belts were replaced twice and the front suspension was fixed twice so far. Vehicle was bought at zeiser motors is st. Peters mo and the service department keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with vehicle.

Front brakes and rotors on the 2005 kia Sedona. The rotors are overheating with normal driving and had to be resurfaced at 15000 miles. The brake pads had to be replaced at 23000. The rotor had to be replaced at 34000. Kia manager told me there is a problem with the 2005 kia Sedona brake system and suggested that I make a complaint to NHTSA.

At 10,616 miles I had to have my brake rotors and pads fixed due to squealing; the dealers mechanic turned the rotors and replaced the pads. Now at 20934 miles the same repair has to be done again. When I questioned the mechanics about this I was told they are having a problem with the 2005 kia Sedona due to the brakes not being sufficient for the weight of the vehicle. I was also told never to tow a trailer even though my van is rated to tow because the brakes may fail. When I contacted kia complaints they said they would not do anything to help me, and denied there was a problem with the brakes on the 2005 Sedona. After searching the internet I have found this is a huge problem for many other 2005 Sedona owners. . Read more...

Front braking system problem - pads and rotor wear out quickly. Potential safety issue as recall warranted. Internet search reveals this is problem with same make and model vehicle. Here is what I can confirm but also have email into dealer related to said vehicle. 2/27/07 - brakes grinding (15957) nothing done (dealer) 6/18/07 - brakes pulsating (21,764) (rotors turned) (dealer) 9/7/07 - brakes squeaking (25365) nothing done (dealer) 7/24/08 - mileage 38,853 - new pads and rotors (dealer) 4/21/09 - brakes checked - grinding (48,935) nothing done (dealer) 5/21/09 - brakes squeaking (50,032) - pad kit installed (dealer) 10/20/09 - mileage 56,015 - new front pads and rotors resurfaced (dealer) 17162 miles since last change 2/4/10 - mileage around 62,000 - rear pads and rotors (alignment specialist inc) 12/8/10 - mileage 68,423 - full front pads and rotors (country club tire) 12408 miles since last change 1/4/11 - mileage 69082 - replaced pad (country club tire) 10/5/13 - mileage 85401 - front pads (country club tire) 16319 miles since last change brakes on these kia Sedonas do not last (see above) - vehicle is drove mostly on highway as vacation vehicle. Driver is not a brake rider (one foot on brake at all times). This is a safety issue as well as an economic issue.

New van purchased with 3 miles on it back to dealer on 3 separate occasions to deal with brake issues, shuttering and "moaning" sound. First time rotors cut and brakes "cleaned" (approx 5500 miles). Second time could not replicate the moaning sound (11300 miles). Third time replicated moaning sound coming from rear drums, dealer resurfaced drums (approx 11600 miles). Everything so far was under warranty so no cost was incurred up to this point. Replaced rotors and front pads due to regular maintenance 5 months ago (approx 23000 miles). Everything fine until 30000 mile service where brakes are adjusted (rear) and extreme shuttering occurs from rear (perhaps masked by not having properly adjusted rear brakes). Appears to be drums that are out of round. Will pay $125 each drum and apply myself as they are clearly out of warranty, but it seems that there is some inherent problem with the brakes on this van. 3500 lbs and too small of a braking system. This is my second new kia Sedona and 3rd new kia vehicle in three years. Love the brand - wish they'd fix the brake issue. . . . This is going to get expensive now that it is out of warranty. Seems like the majority of complaints are for the brakes.

At 18000 mi. Van shook while braking. Dealer cut rotors and replaced brake pads. At 20000 mi. Van shook again brought vehicle back to dealer, dealer replaced rotors and brake pads. At 33000 mi problem started all over again.

With normal traffic braking front brake start to shutter and brake pedal with pulse making it difficult to stop the vehicle even during a normal stopping action we have had several times where the vehicle has been hard to stop during emergency situation which required excess pressure on the brake pedal to stop. Changed rotors and brake pads between the year 2066- and most recently 2014 4 times which still has not corrected the condition. The vehicle has 48900 mile on the vehicle. This vehicle need to be evaluated for safety defects that could cause a serious injury or death.

The contact owns a 2005 kia Sedona. Whenever the contact attempts to stop the vehicle, the brakes begin to make a moaning sound. The contact only noticed the sound while braking at low speeds. He did not notice any differences beforehand and the vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealer several different times. The rotors and brake pads were replaced. The VIN was unknown. The current mileage was 25,000 and failure mileage was 100. Updated 09/17/08. Updated 09/24/08.

The 2005 kia Sedona I own has been plagued by numerous problems. The first of which is a brake malfunction. It was thumping when braking at high speeds then grinding when braking at low speeds. The pads have been replaced, rotors machined, then they were replaced. Also, there is a joint or strut problem b/c . When you go over a bump in a residential neighborhood it sounds creaky and as if it might snap. Also, power door locks have been serviced twice. In addition the steering wheel is very shaky. The dealer blamed that on alignment. Also, the tires need to be replaced at less than 25k and probably have needed to be replaced since 15k. This is due to the brake problem I am certain. All attempts to have these issues resolved have been blown off by the dealer -- until 11/07 when I demanded that there was indeed something wrong.

1) vehicle shutters and makes roaring noise when braking down hill. Brakes overheat and slide and do not stop well. Vehicle shutters when braking under normal conditions but more so going down hill. 2) tires need balance and rotating every 2000 miles and rotors and brake pads need replacing every 2000-4000 miles. The back shoes are glazed over 3) first time rotors and pads were replaced and back shoes unglazed. Second time rotors turned and the brake pads were not removed and back shoes unglazed. Third time rotors and pads are going to be removed and back shoes unglazed. This vehicle has 7000 miles on it and the district manager of the dealership agrees this is excessive and he did not make me feel confident that it can be fixed. They are claiming this year and model had brake issues. On the fourth time I will sue for lemon law. This is unacceptable. I am in the process of writing a letter to the manufacturer. I have contacted the corporate office.

Brake rotors warping. Been in the shop 4 times and doing it again. First time was at 1,982 miles then again at 3,895 miles again at 8,190 mile again at 14,285 miles and now again at 18,000 miles. They have resurfaced(x2) replaced the rotors (x1) the rotors and replaced the pads all 4 times.

The contact owns a 2005 kia Sedona. While driving 50 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the front end of the vehicle shook violently. The dealer stated that the cause of failure was unknown, however, they replaced the rotors. The failure continued and the drums and pads were replaced. This did not correct the failure and the vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was 42,000 and failure mileage was 4,000. Updated 12/12/2007 the consumer stated kia does not have a fix for this and denies there is a problem. Updated 12/12/07.

: the contact stated the rotors were warped because the rear brakes were not adjusted correctly causing the rotors and brake pads to be defective. The vehicle has been looked at five different times and the dealer was unable to resolve the issue. The vehicle has not been in an accident. The contact expressed the brakes were manufactured incorrectly.

The contact stated when brake were applied the vehicle shook in front. Replaced the pads and rotors twice within a week. The rotors were warped, and need to be replaced again. Dealer said they were going to call a representative to handle the case. Manufacturer said this is not a manufacturer's defect.

Have a 2005 kia Sedona and the van has 22,000 and has been in the repair shop for brake problems over 6 times. Since 8/05 has been back in for service for oil leaks, remote problems, tire problems. The rotors have been changed, the pads, everything has been done but after a little time passes the noise and the pulsating comes back. The van starts to pull when you go to put on the breaks and it makes noises. Keep bring it back to the dealership and they fix it with new brakes, rotors, pads but the problem keeps coming back and back. Should not have had to replace the brakes and pads, and rotors so many times with very little mileage on it. Updated 12/12/07.

We purchased a 2004 kia Sedona in July of that year, and when we had 33,000 miles on it , it was on its third set of front brake pads and second set of rotors, the dealer never once told us there was a problem with the kia brake system, and I called kia and they told me they were not aware of any big problem with them, at that point I told the kia representative that I will never purchase another kia, and I went and traded my 2004 Sedona for a Chevrolet,and never will own a kia again.

Kia Sedona rear outer bearings and/or hub assembly needing replaced. When the consumer arrived at the dealership, she informed the representative the left rear seat would not come out and the air bag light was on. When the consumer went to pick up the van and after going over the paperwork, she noticed only the air bag light was fixed and everything else the parts were on order. After getting another appointment, the consumer then told the dealer she was experiencing a pulsation when in the brakes. The dealer told the consumer the brakes were not a part of the warranty, however they would take the responsibility for the rotors, but the consumer would have to pay for the brake pads. The consumer stated the pulsation problem had never been fixed. The consumer was told now the rear brakes were pulsating.

The contact states shas been having problems with brakes since April or may 2005. The brakes were squeaking and the rotors were warped. The dealership told the contact that the rotors were warped from the boat where the car had been shipped. They replaced the rotors. Also, they replaced the brakes and the pads. In addition, filed some kind of clips and dusted the pads. She has had the brakes worked on or repaired a total of five-six times since April. Right now the brakes were jerking badly when she stopped. The rubber piece that goes around the window to seal the window was bad. The piece would roll up either on the outside or the inside of the window. . They ordered a different piece three times and still have not had it fixed.

The vehicle was bought in July of 2004 since then I been having several problems with the brakes. Nov 26, 2006 brake pads were worn out, there was no specific reason fron the mechanic since the vehicle was less than 3000 miles. April 2, 2006 the vehicle went back to warranty for the same reason noisy brakes and vibration. July 23, 2005 back to repairs for same reason. September 9, 2005 the vehicle went back to repairs for same reason, brakes, vibration and noise. Nov 10, 2005 the whole car went black no lights, vibration and noise. Dec 9, 2005 the vehicle was down due to brake problems. Dic 21, 2005 the car dos not want to start. May 31, 2006 problem with front and rear brakes. August 2, 2006 vibration when brake, noise in front suspension and noisy engine. Dic, 15, 2006 vehicle went down due to brake problem. As you can read there have been a pattern problem with the brakes in this vehicle there have been a lot of services for the same reason and warranty does not want to cover it because have been worn out pads. The vehicle have less than 28,000 miles and I had prior vehicles of same weight, size (Mazda mpv) and same use. Never had problems with prior vehicles. Actually I am filling a complain for lemon law and the vehicle has been park in my house since December.

Had engine and trans problems at 1200 mi. Found metal in engine and could not explain why. Have had recurring problems with brakes/rotors in which have had rotors replaced and new pads as well. Has had vibration in engine on other occasions in which found crack in spark plug. Interior lights would not work. My van would not start one day and had to have it towed to kia in lex and they had it for several days and was never given a reasonable answer to what it was that caused it to not start. The dealership has been friendly and helpful, however to many occurrences for any new vehicle so plan to start litigation to declare it a lemon!.

The contact owns a 2004 kia Sedona Mini van. The contact stated their recall 03v158000 concerning abs brakes was issued in 2003 for the 2003 kia Sedona. This vehicle was having the same problem as stated in the recall. However the manufacturer will not include 2004 in the recall. Front ends shimmied while braking. She was concerned because the recall stated that this could cause extended stopping distances and result in a crash. Kia has turned the rotors and pads four times. While making a hard stop when coming off of a freeway the front end, steering wheel, and the entire vehicle shook and shimmied. The contact had this problem since the purchase of the vehicle on March 14, 2004. The dealership and manufacturer were not willing to repair the vehicle right now under the recall. She was in touch with arbitration, and with consumer affairs to possibly apply the lemon law for this vehicle. She has a letter that was written from kia general sales manager, where she takes vehicle in for service. The letter stated: that 2003 recall came from Kia Motor corporation not from dealership. Therefore, she might qualify for the lemon law. Also, told her to pursue the problem that way. The contact has copies of the letters available from the agencies that she corresponded with. The consumer also heard a ticking noise coming from the engine.

When applying brakes and coming to a red light, pedal went to the floor and vehicle did not stop. There was a thumping present, and abs kicked in, allowing driver to stop vehicle. Dealer changed brake pads and rotors.
