| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have an ongoing issue with our kia sedona. i've lost count how many times this has happened. i have had the van into two different kia dealerships and neither one can seem to find what the problem is. we purchased the van 12-2003 and starting having problems 09-2004. we will be driving the van and it will start a bucking action as if the transmission is confused about what it should be doing. if we are lucky, we can let off the gas and the bucking action will cease. there are other times when we let off the gas and it continues to buck. i've had a time when the bucking action started and it was so severe that our seat belts locked. it's bad when your son is in the back asking you what's wrong with our van. i also have problems with my van dying. i can be sitting at a light, stop sign or even driving down the road and it just quits. we have a serious issue here and are not getting any resolutions. i know it's not just a "female car issue" because it's happened to my husband and father while driving. i just want to get something resolved. i have a four year old son and nineteen month old son and safety is an issue for our family! i've tried just going through the dealerships and kia motors america, inc. but still have a van that doesn't run properly. even today as i was driving home with both the boys with me the van just died while driving down the road. thank the lord above nobody was behind me. i fear for our family's safety, those around us or even somebody else who owns a kia sedona with the same issue. something has to be done before somebody is seriously injured. i hope you will seriously consider looking into this issue before somebody is hurt. thank you for your time and attention to this matter. *jb |
