What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 kia sedona. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the battery, brake, and ABS warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred several months later. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.
In march2016 brakes replace with new pads/rotor due to screech sound. Today when brake pressed steering wheel vibrates. Abs/ESC off light came on the other day. Front wheels still vibrate on the highway. Transmission sometimes jerks and stalls the car. A/c not work, but heater always working.
My ESC light and ABS light came on as I was pulling out of the movie theater and my vehicle immediately turned off so I restarted it and pulled out onto the highway where it turned off again and wouldn't restart for 15-20 minutes once I got it restarted my engine started making a weird sound and I could not accelerate it kept jerking like I was running out of gas when I had a full tank luckily I made it home with my 3 kids before it shut off again. Not safe at all.
I had issues putting in park and then getting out of park. Disconnected battery cable to turn off vehicle. Battery seemed dead but had battery checked out it's fully good. Now my ABS,battery,brake,ESC lights all came on and vehicle has no power. Seems like it could be brake-tramission shift interlock problems?
The ESC and the ABS light came on and know the break lights don't work and it keeps blowing my head lights the air bag is on and they stay on. This happens when you put it in gear and they stay on the whole time the auto is on. At frist it did every once in a while but know it stays on and my brake lights doesn't work.
I have a 2006 kia sedona minivan and I have had multiple issues with the alternator and battery systems. On more than one occasion my vehicle has stalled on the freeway when the alternator stopped charging the battery and power ran out. Before this happens, I see all the light indicators on the dashboard for monitored systems go on, such as the ABS, TPMS, hand brake, ESC etc. I have had the alternator replaced once already and it has broken down a second time. I have the battery replaced atleast 3/4 times already. I am not sure if this is an electrical/wiring defect with my specific vehicle or a defect in the parts or design of the vehicle itself. Although I have luckily not had any accidents while these events occurred, I was driving on the freeway both times the alternator conked out and things could easily have ended differently.
We own a 2006 kia sedona, purchased used. The ESC and ABS indicators on the dash go on randomly on a regular basis. We have not addressed it yet with the dealer. Once the car is turned off and on again, the indicator goes away, but will eventually come back on.
