Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving on the freeway for about 15 minutes when my 04 kia sedona lx started smoking. at first i thought there was a fire in the local area. after a few minutes it occurred to me that it could be my van and pulled over and popped the hood. flames jumped up in the engine and burned until they were extinguished with a fire extinguisher. the kia service manager said that he believed it was a total loss. my insurance company is now verifying that. *nm
