1 Speed Sensor problem of the 2006 Kia Motor Sedona

Failure Date: 10/20/2006

On more than four occasions I have been driving this van and when pressing the gas pedal to accelerate the engine revved , but the van did not move. Two of these incidents have been while merging onto interstate 95, once on us route 1 and another merging on to route 234. On at least one occasion my one year old daughter was in the vehicle. It was an extreme safety hazard to merge on to interstate 95 in the middle of rush hour while traffic was moving at 65 mph plus and not be able to accelerate. In one instance there was a tractor trailer coming up behind me, and I had to cut off another vehicle trying to merge in order to get back off on to the ramp that I just merged off. The first time we took it to the dealer and they said is was a speed control sensor, the second time they said it was low on transmission fluid. The third time they had the vehicle for a couple of days and stated that they were unable to reproduce the issue. We have a case number with Kia Motors, and have requested a buy back under the virginia lemon laws. We picked up the vehicle from the dealer today and still have not heard back from our case worker with kia despite a call asking if we should pick up the vehicle or not.
