Fuel Pump Problems of Kia Motor Sedona

2007 kia Sedona. Attorney writes on behalf of consumers regarding several problems with the vehicle the consumer was driving, when suddenly the vehicle lost all power and dangerously dropped down from the posted speed of 60 mph to 10 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. Eleven days later, the dealer stated the problem was fixed. The repair consisted of replacing the oxygen sensor, although the technician couldn't explain why it needed to be replaced. As the consumer was returning home, the loss of power occurred again and the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer then stated the problem was with the fuel pump, so that was replaced. On July 31, 2009 the consumer retrieved the vehicle from the dealer and three hours later, the problem happened again. The dealer kept the vehicle for ten days. The vehicle was driven for a week with no problems. However, when the consumer attempted to pass a truck, the loss of power returned. The vehicle immediately slowed down from 60 mph to 20 mph. The consumer took the vehicle back to the dealer and on September 1, 2009 the dealer stated the vehicle had bad gasoline and therefore replaced the fuel pump and filter. The consumer kept the old fuel pump and filter and had it tested, which was later determined there was no sign of bad gasoline. Instead, the laboratory indicated the filter was clogged with an unknown clay substance. Nearly a year had passed with no incident. Then, once again while driving on August 20,2010, the vehicle began experiencing the same problem of suddenly losing all power. The vehicle was taken to a different dealer. They replaced the throttle sensors and upgraded the computer. However, an hour after picking up the vehicle, the problem occurred again. The vehicle was taken back to the old dealer and when they removed the fuel filter, they discovered it was clogged with a foreign colored material that looked the same as before. The consumer had to pay for another fuel filter and the dealer could not explain why it continued to happen.

My kia Sedona is in the zieser service center again. I had to take it in for the horn and other concerns. The horn does not always work and this is a safety issue. The dealer said they can not duplicate, but when my husband and I drive the vehicle it does not work on a consistent basis. They have had to replace parts on this horn already on several occasions. And I have had to bring it back on several occasions since they can not duplicate at first. On my last visit the service dept turned the rotors for the brakes. I told them that it is now squealing since they did this and I wanted to know why. When they called to tell me my car was ready, they said I owed $25 to look at the brakes. I ask why and dave in service said that their tech took over 2 hours to look for problems and no one was going to pay them (meaning kia), so I needed to pay. I told them I wanted to know why I did not have a squeak before and then after they did some warranty work on the van I did have a squeak. I also stated that I have a safety concern about the car feeling like it is being pushed when you are slowing down and you get to 30-35 mph. He said this is normal. Lastly, the cruise control does not decelerate when going down hills (even a slight grade). It does not do this on a consistent basis. They told me this is normal, but when I drive it accelerates and if I have it set at say 40 mph I have to apply to brakes because I have had it accelerate past 60 mph. Again, I am very concerned about my vehicle and the fact that there are safety issues that I feel need to be corrected. Even though they state that the horn is working correctly, when I was driving this weekend, I was cut off by a car and when I went to honk the horn it did not work. And when I tested on several occasions, it did not work. My husband also was cut off (there is in intersection that is notorious for this by our home) and he could not get it to work.

My kia sodona van at 63,000 miles began to stall after initial start. Engine has to be revved repeatedly to get it to go. Took it in and was told the alternator needed replacing, 400+ dollars and a whole day of waiting it is still not running right, in fact it is worse than before. Was told to bring it back in, may have a fuel problem. Was the alternator even bad?!! other things continue to break or fall apart on the van. Head supports are broken on two seats, will not stay up. If in a crash would not have the support these are supposed to give! one of the side doors will not close properly. Was told it would be around 100 dollars to change out a ball bearing in the door! these are not covered under the wonderful bogus 100,000 mile warranty.
