I purchased the vehicle used. It drove just fine for the first several months, but eventually it would start sputtering like it was out of gas when it actually had gas in the vehicle. Eventually, it came to a point when it would run when it wanted to and stall when it wanted to. I took it to a service station to get it fixed and they could not recreate the problem to fix it. They gave me a couple of options what it could be, but told me that they were only 75% sure and it was going to cost nearly $1000 to fix. Well, I didn't have $1000 to fix some parts that they are only 75% sure about. I continued to drive it in town and it continued to stall and drive as it pleased. At this point, it acts like it wants to turnover, but won't start. I have researched and found that I am not the only person with this vehicle problem. Can't something be done?.

Bought 2006 kia Sedona new in 2007. No issues until early 2008 with less than 15k miles. Engine light on and sometimes blinking. Vehicle stalls when in gear and at a stop. Vehicle hesitates when driving, often jerking violently. Have had in for warranty service at least four times. Many sensors replaced. Service provider states kia advised vehicle is drivable even when engine light in blinking. No way for me as a consumer to tell if I am doing damage to engine or other component. Stalling and jerking is safety issue. Since I did not purchase at my nearest dealer, liberty auto plaza (libertyville, IL), they have stated they have done what the can and I should "take it up with kia". Internet research shows this is common unresolved issue and liberty management was aware of issue. Manager plainly stated he did not have issue continuing to sell, yet had no responsibility to inform consumers. At this point, I would like kia to provide mechanically sound car under warranty agreement, replace or refund. Can not continue to jeopardize family safety or time.
