Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Our sedona has been unreliable from 15,000 miles on. i loose sleep over the fact that my wife and children are in this vehicle every day to get to and from school and other daily activities and errands. it is back in for service for the same re-occurring problem - a shot alternator. this is the fourth time this component has been damaged, twice before damaging the battery as well. i pride myself in keeping our vehicles serviced nearly to the recommended schedule, but this minivan is just not a quality built. i have read of other complaints, and similarly our minivan also bucks when idle at a traffic light, it bucks when traveling under 40 mph, and the air conditioning units are as load as an industrial type fan. *tr
