In reference to campaign id number: 05v232000. My kia Sedona has the defective wheel bearings as indicated by the report, but somehow has not been included in the original recall. My vehicle is being serviced by kiefer kia in eugene, oregon. The dealership is making, and paying for, necessary repairs. To my understanding, had we not found this issue before our warranty had expired we would have been liable for the cost of repair. I would like to see this recall extended through my VIN #, if your findings support my complaint. More-so for reason to cover any other past/future recalls found that our van may be affected by. Thank you for your time.

We took or 2004 sedonda ex. To weston pontiac for a recall on the throttle cable, my wife also showed them the letter for the recall on the alloy wheels asked for them to check rear bearings for moisture in fear of a crash. After 3 hrs she was sent home said it was good and they would order parts. Something didn't seem right so I had her take it to be checked by other tech. His findings was moisture and was corroded with rust. Later when I was talking to kia's cac they got weston pontiac on the phone the shop said they never had time to check rear bearings we were lucky that no one was injured or deaths we have gotten a run around from them lies and only fixing 1/2 the problem. Saying our parts are in and they did not even have them just that kia has called and wanted to get them off their backs. We were also told to keep checking for moisture in the bearings and just bring it when we do. Its like saying drive with your eyes closed you never know when you may crash, as the recall says I don't like that odds with my wife & grandchildren lives at hand. Kia( karrie) is who I spoke to & gave me this # k1016279 to refer to my complaint said well your van is fixed and no one got hurt I don't see what your problem is. The lie to my wife saying or van was ok when never check and was not the risk they put my loved ones in with no concern for their lives and that they never fixed it they put a bandaid on it just to get us and this recall off them. I know the recall was not on the rental but it was not safe to be out on the road the tires were bold and was out of alignment that it pulled so hard to the right. The only thing they could say was no one told us. So they put us from one danger right into another. Please something needs to be done to stop them how many others have they sent off saying their vehicle is ok and not. Thank-you for your time and concern in this mater albert smith .

I am the owner of a 2004 kia Sedona. Approximatley three months ago, we received notice of a recall on the vehicle. It was immediately taken in to have the repairs made - or so we thought. When we returned to get the vehicle we were told that it needed repair, but the manufacturer would not provide the dealer - bill jacobs - joliet, IL - with the parts necessary for the repair. As of today's date 9-7-05 the vehicle has not been repaired. I have made complaints to kia, numerous calls to the dealer and each time we are told the parts are expected on a boat the next day and amazingly they never arrive.

On 10/17/04 while driving to work I heard a noise like I had a flat, when the vehicle was checked there was no flat. I drove the vehicle to the nearest exit. When I attempted to move the vehicle the whole tire fell off the vehicle, the rear drivers side . The vehicle was towed to the dealer where new parts were ordered. In my opinion I dont feel safe driving this vehicle because it could happen again and next time I might not be luckey. I could have killed or my whole if they were with me.

Kia has informed us that our car will continue to need repairs since it was not designed to be driven on dirt roads. We live on a dirt road and drive many miles of dirt roads and now we are spending money replacing parts not protected from dirt due to faulty engineering design.
