2007 kia Sedona. At about 62,000 miles suspension was making noise. Dealer diagnosed the front sub cross member bushings as needing replacement-to the tune of $2200. 00! this was done and it fixed the problem. At 67,000 miles a new front end noise has developed over bumps. I'm now told the control arm bushings need to be replaced and sway bar link bushings will be next. Car is maintained and used for local short trips around town. I would expect a recall for using substandard bushings.

Haven't had any accident. But have had problems with headlights keep burning out. I have spent so much money buying bulbs. Problems with one of seat belts keeps locking up, and have a scruching noise for years now the dealership say might be suspension.
Loose front suspension. Failure has not happened, yet. Worried that the noises coming from the front of my vehicle will cause a failure on the road. Kia is aware of the problem but is reluctant to repair it. They know that all Sedonas have this problem but as yet to come to grips with it.

Unsuccessful repeatedly despite knowledge that state troopers looking for speeders on new year's eve.

Felt uniform temperatures on all tires and wheels. Conduct my business in hartford, CT. Drove home to bronx county, NY with passenger.

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.
2003 kia Sedona, trouble with front end suspension making clunking noise. The dealer identified problem but can not fix it. They contacted kia direct in 2004 but issue still exist. Due to problem front tire ware out. Concern issue may cause accident.
