  Not for mountain/foothill dwellers - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By sharonkay - September 7 - 10:53 pm

  I liked this van at first,but after having it for 16 months I was more than happy to trade it in and will never buy another Kia.I do alot of mountain driving and long road trips. The front brakes had to be replaced 5 times, the rotors 2, the tires 2x (H rated tires are expensive) and recently the wheel bearings on the front left went out. I had to have it wrecker towed to the dealer. Luckily,the warranty covered the bearings and first 2 sets of front brakes and rotors. Other sedona owners in my area have had brake and tire issues as well. Even the service manager admitted these cars are not suited for those who live in mountainous areas.ext. warranty helped with rental but this van is not worth it!

  I would never buy a Kia again! - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Arnold Echols - April 23 - 5:56 am

  Interior is entirely too small for a 63" man, or even average folks. I dont even fit in the drivers seat comfortably. The gas mileage stinks, not as advertised. The passenger seat is too close to dash also. Bucket seats are much too small and not at all comfortable for any length of time. It is very difficult to turn around. The headrests in the rear are in the drivers vision and you cannot see clearly around them. Hope we never have to travel very far in it, as it gets miserable to sit in the seats very long at all. But the biggest problem is the lousy gas mileage. We live in the country, and drive almost all highway miles, and cant get above 17 mph. I cant wait to get rid of it!

  Never again - 2005 Kia Sedona

  Bought brand new didnt matter the problems began at the very start with brake problems and went on from there...Problems made worst by the worst customer service Ive ever experienced. With thousands of dollars spent and car still stalling we were done. You want a reliable car get a Honda. Thats what we drive. Excellent customer service every time.

  So Sad Sedona - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By familyof7 - October 12 - 5:53 am

  We bought the Sedona with only 14 miles on it hoping it would be a vehicle to depend on should my husband ever get deployed. Lo and behold I was moving home from NC to UT and it died at highway speeds just before Albuquerque NM. Weird I thought for a van that only has 17000 miles on it. Turned off the key turned it back on drove a mile or two and again...it died. I about got hit by several semi trucks that travel the I-40 west. This is not a reliable vehicle. It was towed three times before they found the problem and that was because we sat at the dealership and told them how to fix it. They replaced four blown fuses, fixed a throttle cable recall, and ended up replacing computer.

  Never Again - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Leftyflinter - December 27 - 7:03 am

  I have owned 6 brand new vehicles and this has to be worse than the 15 year old Subaru I got rid of that had 235,000 miles on it. I can not think of any positive feedback for this vehicle. The warranty is only good if the manufacturer will fix/repair the problems.

  Worst car Ive ever owned - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By have to say - May 6 - 10:16 pm

  Im glad Kia offers a 60 thousand mile warranty, because I had to have this lemon in 8 times for warranty work. Many times the work was for the same problem over and over (cheap seat covers that tore, gear shift that locked up, locks that locked the car on it’s own, mechanical issues of all kinds). I’m over 60 thousand miles now, and the car is just slowly crumbling. There’s no way I’m ever buying a Kia again after this.
