Consumer Description

OUR KIA SEDONA'S ENGINE HAS BEEN DYING WHEN COMING TO A STOP FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. KIA TRIED ON 8-5-04 TO FIX AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS. REPLACED THE PLUGS. THREE WEEKS LATER ON 9-11-04 VAN ENGINE DYED AGAIN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. KEEPED A LOG OF THIS. ON 9-25-04 WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE AGAIN DYED WHILE IN THE PASSING LANE. FINALLY GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. HAD TO WAIT THREE DAYS TO GET VAN INTO KIA, LIGHT WENT OUT BY THEN. KIA DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAS A TRANSMISSION ERROR CODE BUT CAN'T PINPOINT THE DEFECT TO FIX. KIA KEPT THE VAN A WEEK TRYING TO GET ENGINE LIGHT TO REAPPEAR IN VAIN. SO I NOW HAVE A VAN THAT COULD STOPPED RUNNING AT ANYTIME AND PLACE. NOT VERY REASSURING OR SAFE. WE ARE VERY UPSET AND KIA CORP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. *NM
