Passenger side rr control arm rusted through which caused it to bend and caused rr tire to fold inward. Had to replace rr control arm, rr coil spring and shocks on both sides which was affected by rusted control arm. I brought it in to repair shop when I noticed a loud thump when going over a bump. This should be a recall.

What owners say
This car has had problem after problem with the suspension since it was 4 years old. It does not feel safe to drive at all. The dealerships repeatedly told me there's nothing wrong with it, but every time someone gets into it, they ask whats wrong with it. It has felt like the wheels are going to fly off at any moment. Here's a list of time's I've taken the car in to be checked out; or had service done. 05/20/2010 sway bar links replaced steering/suspension checked 03/15/2011 steering/suspension checked 04/12/2012 safety inspection completed 09/11/2013 steering/suspension checked 10/28/2013 maintenance inspection completed 11/01/2013 vehicle serviced 03/24/2014 safety inspection completed 11/12/2014 steering/suspension checked 03/11/2015 steering/suspension checked shock absorber(s) replaced strut(s) replaced lower ball joint(s) replaced rear wheel bearing(s)/hub(s) replaced sway bar link(s)/bushing(s) replaced april 2015 both coil springs replaced april 2015 entire rear nuckle replaced

The contact was made aware of the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v55000 (suspension), but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 116,576. Updated 7/1/15*cn the consumer stated two days after making this complaint the right rear spring broke. Both were replaced by a local mechanic at the owners' expense. Updated 9/15/2015
I took my kia into the dealer for a recall check on my control arms. The dealer found out my front left coil spring was in pieces along with the bearing. There was a recall on this but I never received one. I read where the van had to be made between dec.20, 2005 and march 20, 2006. If my van was made later then that then they still did not fix the corrosion problem. I had to pay for all repairs. I can't be the only one that this has happened to on a later made van.
The left front coil spring broke after I had parked the van at work. Later when I went out to go somewhere, I found a piece of metal about 8" long lying on the ground behind the left front tire. I thought that I sure hoped it had not come off of my car! When I got in and put the car in reverse, it would not move. I shifted to drive and it went forward, so I shifted back into reverse and tried to back up. There was a loud bang and the front end on the car dropped hard to the left. When I got out of the car, the tire was completely flat and I could actually see a flap sticking up from the inside wall of the tire. I later discovered that the coil spring had broken - that was the piece of metal I had found on the ground - and had stabbed the tire. It was corroded. After checking online I learned that there had been an issue with the front coil springs on 2006 kia sedonas, that the finish would get corroded by road salt and water and the springs would break. A recall had been issued in 21 states, including michigan. When I contacted the dealer, I was told that the recall covered vehicles made from december 2005 to march 20, 2012. My van was made on april 18, 2012, and therefore was not covered by the recall because the 'issue had been resolved.' why then did the spring break?
