From the first day I drove my 2005 kia sedona off the lot it has vibrated when the brakes are used. Even after having them replaced it continues to vibrate so I did not realize it was a big big problem until I started to read the reports on it now I cannot wait till I have it paid for so I can buy something else...the brakes also make a moaning noise and/or squealing noise...this is not all the time but it is aggravating ...will no buy kia product again...the only reason I got this one was there was not much choice after katrina hit and now I am stuck with it for a few more years...why won't they find a fix for it before some one is really hurt.

Brakes squealed at slower speeds. Brakes replaced using kia parts twice in 2 years. Eventually, braking at high speeds (over 35mph & on hwy) caused van to shake excessively, and steering wheel to vibrate, along with return of squealing noise at lower speeds. Kia parts used again to replace brake discs, rotors 01/09. Within one month the squealing and then shaking problems returned. Goodyear found other reports of this same problem and replaced the kia parts with an upgraded aftermarket brand of parts. No problems since! We have also had to replace tires 3 times before this latest fix.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 kia sedona. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the brakes made a loud squealing noise without the brake pedal being depressed. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the brakes would not slow the vehicle down properly. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the mechanic stated that the front brakes were past the safety standards and needed to be replaced. The brakes were replaced, but lasted only 14,000 miles. The brakes were supposed to last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. The contact researched information that stated the brake shoes appeared to be too light for the weight of the vehicle. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 14,730 and current mileage was 14,777.

The 2005 kia sedona I own has been plagued by numerous problems. The first of which is a brake malfunction. It was thumping when braking at high speeds then grinding when braking at low speeds. The pads have been replaced, rotors machined, then they were replaced. Also, there is a joint or strut problem b/c . When you go over a bump in a residential neighborhood it sounds creaky and as if it might snap. Also, power door locks have been serviced twice. In addition the steering wheel is very shaky. The dealer blamed that on alignment. Also, the tires need to be replaced at less than 25k and probably have needed to be replaced since 15k. This is due to the brake problem I am certain. All attempts to have these issues resolved have been blown off by the dealer -- until 11/07 when I demanded that there was indeed something wrong.

Bought new jan-2006, early morning start up car would make loud gurgle and hissing sound,then when put into gear the brakes would grab and make a grinding feeling through the brake pedal and pull to the right as it started to roll. Kia says nothing wrong with it. Finally it was determend that ABS module was bad, and replaced.now sept 2007 im having the same trouble again.but worse. Car will not stop all the way even when brake pedal is applied at full force. The car just does not want to stop. Causing the car to continue rolling thru an intersection.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 kia sedona. While driving between 55-65 MPH, the brakes pulse whenever the contact is driving downhill. She has taken the vehicle to the shop for the failure. The mechanic repeatedly states that the squeaking is normal and a part of normal wear and tear. The contact believes that the failure is a manufacturer defect because the vehicle only has 17,000 miles. The current mileage is 17,000 and failure mileage was 3,000.
