I drove 25 minutes from a to b and parked my car. turned the engine off sat there with the radio on for 1 minute exactly and i hear a. pshhhhh and smoke rising quickly, then a flame from the fuse box by my left foot. i got out opened the door looked for the smoke and flame that were reflecting and waving. i opened the fuse box slider cover with a knife and started to squirt water out from my bottled water quickly. thank goodness i had water. flame went out and i saw the inside of the fuse cover burnt, and a fuse looked like it caught on fire because the fuse looked completely melted.i have a video of the aftermath right after the fire went out. tomorrow ill be calling insurance, kia, and whoever else that can help me understand what is going on and what i can do to ensure my safety. please help or approve a recall. thank goodness i didnt exit my car so quick or alot of the car would have been on fire.
i took the van to the mechanic about a month ago. they told me it needed a steering coupler and a flange. the steering wheel was very loose when driving and would make a creaking sound. *tr
2002 kia sedona had steering problems very tough to steer making it feel real dangerous, i took to dealer to ck out said i need intermediate steering shaft/ujoint at the price of $544.16... what a ripoff i can get the part for $100 and feel that kia should cover these costs too many people are having this problem. *tr
There was no events leading up to the failure, i was pull on to the road and lost complete control of my steering, my steering wheel just kept going around and around, complete steering failure. i have not done anything yet to fix... *tr
One more time kia sedona 2002 failed to brake car lost control front passenger seat belt snapped out, looks like power steering failed and brakes also, not the first time brakes failed in kia sedona. prior to this accident the consumer complained to the dealer about vibrations while braking. car accelerate by itself (throttle stuck). *bf
2002 kia sedona at 19,604 miles took it to the dealership for the floorboard buckles on the driver side when the steering wheel is turned to a full rotation, no problem found at that time , they said they could feel nothing. at 25,000 miles returned to the dealership with the same problem, test drove they could feel the floorboard buckle and was told it is normal. now at 41,000 miles i have the same problem but the insides of the front tires wore down to the cords and i had to have the tires replaced. *la
Power steering belt had to be replaced due to pulley breaking while consumer was driving. contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.*ak
