What owners say
I own a 2002 kia sedona. I purchased it in february and was fine until a month later. I was on my way to work and I got on the highway and the van stalled and just shut down. After about 5 minutes later it restarted then shut off again about 3 miles down the highway. I had the fuel pump and camshaft replaced but it still will not start. Then the battery stopped working. I replaced that and it still will not work. I called kia and because it is out of warranty they would not help. The dealership is way too expensive being that I am a single parent I cannot afford their prices. Kia customer service is very bad and will not help with anything. After searching online I have came to a conclusion that this is a very common problem and there hasn't been one fix to it. I don't have the ability to go out and purchase another vehicle and just want this one fixed. Please help!
