Dash Wiring Problems of Kia Motor Sedona

The contact received two recall letters; one for the dashboard lights, and the other for headlights. She contacted the dealership, and they could not diagnose the problem by phone and will not be able to inspect the vehicle until January 11, 2005. The manufacturer recommended that contact another dealership.

The contact owns a 2004 kia sadona. The dash lights have repeatedly failed in less than one year. A couple of times the dealer put fuses in the vehicle, and they claimed that something had been plugged into the cigarette lighter that did not work. The master technician put a new instrument cluster board. This would solve the problem for a week up to a month, and the problem would come back. At nights, they cannot see the speed or fuel or any lights on the dashboard. Previous owner had this vehicle in the shop three times for electrical reasons.

I have been experiencing ongoing electrical problems with the dashboard lights going out. It is very dangerous at night because you cant see the speedometer and the car is very dark on the inside. I have taken my vehicle in over 5 times for repair and it's still not working. This has been an on-going problem with the electrical system (dash board lights). Twice they said it was the fuse which they replaced both times. Within three days of repair the lights were out again on both instances. The third time they said the electrical wiring was loose. They fixed the wiring but approximately two weeks later the lights went out again. I took it back for repair and they said the wiring was loose again and they fixed it. Again, the lights went out. I took the vehicle back to the dealership where I purchased it and they stated that the ignition switch was bad so they replaced it. This time the lights stayed on about a month and now it's out again.

We purchased the 2002 kia Sedona yesterday 12-28-03. We drove the car for about 45 minutes today, stopped for dinner at a fast food restaurant and then drove again for about 10 minutes when while driving the vehicle, the battery and brake warning lights flashed on and off a few times, then stayed on. When the brake pedal was depressed, the radio shut off and would not come back on. Then the seatbelt warning light came on and the dash lights, exterior and interior lights dimmed. While car was still in motion, the sunroof would not close and the other windows were very slow at closing. The car shuddered a couple of times as if ready to stall. We made it home just in time, the car stalled and would not restart. We were able to close the sunroof, but it was very slow. We have tried to charge the battery, but it does not seem to be taking a charge. Secondly the seatbelt indicator light does not sound or indicate that seatbelts are not buckled. Thirdly there is moisture under the drivers side head light. Also, when the vehicle is in motion and the dvd player is operating, there is a whistling sound heard through the dvd headphones/sound during acceleration. We will be notifying the dealer tomorrow morning.
