This car has had problem after problem with the suspension since it was 4 years old. It does not feel safe to drive at all. The dealerships repeatedly told me there's nothing wrong with it, but every time someone gets into it, they ask whats wrong with it. It has felt like the wheels are going to fly off at any moment. Here's a list of time's I've taken the car in to be checked out; or had service done. 05/20/2010 sway bar links replaced steering/suspension checked 03/15/2011 steering/suspension checked 04/12/2012 safety inspection completed 09/11/2013 steering/suspension checked 10/28/2013 maintenance inspection completed 11/01/2013 vehicle serviced 03/24/2014 safety inspection completed 11/12/2014 steering/suspension checked 03/11/2015 steering/suspension checked shock absorber(s) replaced strut(s) replaced lower ball joint(s) replaced rear wheel bearing(s)/hub(s) replaced sway bar link(s)/bushing(s) replaced April 2015 both coil springs replaced April 2015 entire rear nuckle replaced.

Front end suspension was tight when new. Now the front end makes sounds as if something is loose and about to fall off or break. Dealer said it was normal! other 2002 kia Sedona's don't have that feeling in the suspension. I have read that other's have had their suspensions fixed by changing components such as struts, bushing, seals, etc. Kia knows something is wrong with the 2002's because test drives show the 2003's don't have that sound of shacking front end.

We have a 2002 kia Sedona; we bought in Dec of 2001. Within the first 6 months, the alternator,battery,ignition switch, had to be replaced, along with sliding doors falling off the hinge. I complained of a wind noise for the first year no one knew what it was. It went unfixed. Within a year the shocks, the struts and sliding doors had to be replaced. My air-condition went out completely guess what no more wind noise. And no longer under warranty. My rear wiper control went out. Recently, while on thanksgiving vacation to ohio we had to have roadside pick up our van as the transmission totally went out without warning. While in the shop we were advised our brakes were not safe to drive. We had never had a problem with the brakes. And the motor mounts were also in need of replacement. Was in the shop 14 days, we had to drive back to ohio to when ready. The brakes went to the floor had never ever done that before. When we were on our way out of town, the transmission was acting up. We made it home on Dec 7th and no one at kia could take the vehicle in until the service manager returned my call he was off for doctor visit. On Dec 13, I took my van in to be repaired, they called me and told me it would need a new transmission, and guess what they are also repairing the sliding doors 5th time I think. They have to also fix the dent in the hood that was not there, before the ohio kia took it in to be fixed. Today it has been 15 days. I still do not have my van. I would not recommend kia to my worst enemy. Please allow others to know that kia is a lemon if ever there were one.
