I have owned my 2006 kia Sedona since Jan 2008 and have had a persistent problem of oil leaking from the valve covers and the oil pan gasket. This oil leak issue has been ¿fixed� 5 times till now, on warranty coverage at the following kia dealerships (in descending order of dates)¿ - 1) fullerton kia on 10/29/2010 2) fullerton kia on 08/21/2010 3) glendale kia on 06/08/2009 4) glendale kia on 12/24/2008 5) fullerton kia on 01/30/2008 due to the design and placement of the engine parts on the 2006 Sedona, oil leaking from the valve cover on the top, falls directly on the alternator located just below it. With time, the oil leak residue clogs up the alternator itself, thereby leading to failure of the battery charging system (which has been replaced three times already on warranty coverage) and also the alternator breaking down itself. There have been 2 occasions where my vehicle has gone completely dead and stalled in the middle of the highway when I was driving, leading to a dangerous safety issue for my family. On both occasions the vehicle had to be towed in to a dealership and the alternator was replaced on warranty coverage. Following are the dealerships and dates when the battery/alternator was replaced (in descending order of dates) - 1) fullerton kia on 05/10/2011 (alternator) 2) fullerton kia on 10/29/2010 (battery) 3) glendale kia on 08/22/2009 (alternator) 4) glendale kia on 08/22/2009 (battery) 5) glendale kia on 06/08/2009 (battery) I now have the same oil leak problem once again and the oil has already started seeping from the valve covers into the alternator. I am dreading the day in the near future when the alternator will stop working and cause my vehicle to stall again on the road when my family and kids are driving in it. There appears to be a huge quality/safety issue related to the kia spare parts used to fix the oil leak problem.

Going uphill toward traffic light, accelerating to maintain speed for crossing intersection, check engine light on, esc light on, engine suddenly idling causing total loss of power near the intersection. Had enough momentum to pull on the grass shoulder. Diagnostic from garage: throttle sensor stuck. Extremely dangerous situation.

In 18 months my 2008 kia Sedona has continuous electrical problems, with this complaint focusing on the fact my vehicle has blown the 200 amp main fuse 4 times in 18 months, including while driving the vehicle 2 of the 4 times, causing complete loss of power and a safety issue as both times it happen while highway driving, with the dealer not being to determine the cause of the problem each and every time. They replace the fuse, run tests, and give the car back, at which point anywhere from 10 days to 6 months the fuse blows again. Note this same vehicle was in and out of the dealer repair for a check engine light they were unable to turn off for more than 48 hours at a time (computer reset) for 9 months which I sued under lemon law for.

Vehicle would lose power to a crawl, then if you let it sit for 10 minutes it would regain some power by flooring it to a max speed of 35-40 mph.

I purchased a 2006 kia Sedona in August, 2006. On 08-14-2006 it was returned for malfunction of the airbag system, repairs were made. I also stated to them that it was pulling to the left, which to this day they have not corrected. On 11-13-2006 at approx. 3,300 miles the engine light came on, the van began to sputter and cut out. It was towed to the dealer( misfire in cyclinder)and repairs were made. The van was returned to the dealer again on 01-03-2007(scanned system, could not find code),01-18-2007(multiple misfires),02-08-2007(random misfires. Also repaired shorted out hot wire to driver's side parking light),04-09-2007(they stated that the gas cap was loose, even though the van is skipping),04-12-2007 (random misfires). After sending a final repair attempt letter to kia they picked my vehicle up on 04-23-2007 and brought techs in from California to assess the problem. I was going to pick my van up on Thursday 04-26-2007 but kia called and stated that after they test drove it the engine light once again came on. They stated that they hope to have it resolved on 04-27-2007. On 04-27-2007 they hope to have it resolved on 04-30-2007. On 04-30-2007 they hope to have it resolved on 05-01-2007. On 05-01-2007 they stated that they would be pulling out the drive train to ship to California and in turn kia/California would be shipping a new one. Now they hope to have it resolved on Friday, may 4, 2007. I have major safety concerns/issues regarding this vehicle. There is obviously severe electrical/mechanical problems and this vehicle is not stable/safe enough to be roadworthy. The people at the dealership are wonderful and understanding to my concerns, however Kia Motors of America does not seem to address the safety issues as a concern. I am still pursuing this issues between myself and kia, but this is way too much hassle to go through to try to keep myself, my family and other motorist safe against this vehicle being on the road.

The smell causes him to become physically ill. Kia was aware of the failure and unsuccessfully attempted to correct the issue. They stated that nothing could be done. When kia had a technician inspect the vehicle, he stated that the vehicle performed in this manner and provided case number t1472689. Kia consumer affairs also provided case number k1473088.

Excessive fuel consumption. 10. 8 mpg. Kia performed a test with a scan tool and said the readings were within specifications. That was back in March. Since then my fuel efficiency increased to 11. 7 mpg. I'll be taking it back soon for another test. I've encountered several people on the road with the same complaint, but apparently they have not filed a complaint yet. Can anyone investigate this issue and call me back. It appears that the money I saved by purchasing this vehicle, in comparison to other minivans with similar features, I'll be throwing away in gas. Thank you sincerely.

An enormous amount of gas leaks from the bottom of the van.
