The back frame of my 2006 kia sedona is all corroded. cannot drive the car any more. i bought the car in nov-2006 and in december 2011 i had to change the front frame due to corrosion. in march 2014, i had to change the front suspension due to corrosion and now the back frame is all corroded. i would like that someone really check on kiia's materials. is incredibly that after 5 years i had to change the front frame. and up today's day. i have the same corrosion issue. i leave in new jersey and i know that in the winter, there is lots of salt on the streets but i have never seen a problem like this on any other brand. this issue goes directly to the safety of the car.
