WHILE DRIVING TRIED TO STOP FOR A LIGHT AND BRAKES FAILED, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ABS DID NOT ENGAGE AND FINALLY SLOWED. THIS IS SECOND MASTER CYLINDER ON THE VEHICLE. MY MECHANIC WHO DID THE REPLACEMENT SEVERAL YEARS AGO TRIED TWO MORE NEW MASTER CYLINDERS TODAY AND THEY ALSO FAILED TO HOLD PRESSURE. DEALER WAS NO HELP WITH POSSIBLE SOLUTION. I NEED TO TAP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WE CAN FIND NO RECALLS ON THE MASTER CYLINDER

The contact owns a 2008 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated. The message "ESC OFF" was displayed. The contact stated that the headlights were inoperable. Additionally, the engine had overheated, causing an electrical short and battery failure. The battery was replaced several times; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, the vehicle shut off unexpectedly. The contact was able to pull into a parking lot. The vehicle was restarted and driven at 25 MPH; however, the failure recurred. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and remained on the side of the road. The contact stated that several mechanics had previously diagnosed the vehicle with electrical failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

ON 05-10-16 MY 2008 KIA SEDONA WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY. IT WAS NOT ON. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS.THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. WE WERE REMOVING ONE OF THE BACK PASSENGER SEATS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE SIDE DOOR HAD REMAINED OPEN. IN THE PAST WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR, IT WOULDN'T OPEN OR WOULDN'T CLOSE. WHILE REMOVING THE SEAT THE OPEN DOOR INDICATOR (BUZZING) CAME ON. DID NOT KNOW WHY IT CAME ON, THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND WAS OFF. A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER THE SMELL OF SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE CAR. DID NOT SEE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM AT FIRST AND THEN SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE AREA. THE HOOD WAS OPENED AND THERE WERE FLAMES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FIRE DEPT. WAS CALLED BUT WE WERE ABLE TO PUT THE FLAMES OUT BEFORE IT BECAME DANGEROUS AND CANCELLED THE CALL. THE BATTERY HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED TO AVOID HAVING THE FLAMES START UP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A KIA DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF WAITING THE DEALER CONCLUDED THE ABS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FIRE. THE FIRE HAD BURNED THE WIRING HARNESS AND FIRE WALL. THE CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CONFIRM THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF THE FIRE. TO DATE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE FIRE BUT WE HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. I WANT TO POINT OUT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR SYSTEM BE ALERT. IF YOUR CAR IS IN PARK WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND YOU HAVE WARNING BUZZARDS GO OFF CHECK THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLE RELAY OVER LOAD TO DOOR CONNECTION. NOT CONFIRMED, BUT WAS THE ONLY POWER OPERATING PART TO THE VEHICLE THAT WAS IN USE WHEN THE FIRE STARTED.

HAVE TO PUT BRAKES AND ROTATERS ON EVERY 6 MONTHS AND DON'T KNOW WHY

SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SWITCH ON MY 2008 KIA SEDONA, WHY IS THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ONLY FOR THE 2007 SEDONA? *TR

MY 2008 KIA SEDONA ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES STARTING IN OCT 2009. I CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKE IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED, IF YOU'RE LUCKY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

LET ME START BY SAYING WE LOVED THE VAN UP UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY FAMILY IN OUR 2008 KIA SEDONA. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 75 MPH, I WENT TO PASS SOMEONE AND WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS THE CAR. I TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PRESSING THE BRAKE AS WELL AS DOING IT MANUALLY BY PRESSING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON. I COULD NOT GET THE VAN TO SLOW DOWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. AT ONE POINT I WAS DOING BETWEEN 90 AND 100 MPH. I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE VAN STOPPED AND MY BRAKES WERE SMOKING EXTREMELY BAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BRAKE SWITCH. THE DEALER ACTED LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. I EXPLAINED THAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR

ON A 2008 KIA SEDONA MY FRONT BRAKE DISC HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS DUE TO WARPING OF THE DISC. MY KIA NOW HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT WHICH IS ABOUT AVERAGE FOR MY DRIVING AS I AM RETIRED. IN ADDITION THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. IT WILL NOT PREVENT THE MINIVAN FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR
