NHTSA Complaint #10107689 — 2002 KIA SEDONA

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY KIA SEDONA. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP THE HEAD GASKET BLEW AND IT WAS TOWED IN AND REPLACED. THEN THE WINDSHIELD BROKE DURING THE NIGHT IN THE GARAGE WITH NO WEATHER EXTREMES. I REPLACED THAT. IN 2 YEARS I'VE HAD 2 BLOWOUTS TO THE FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE. THE ONLY 2 IN MY WHOLE 30+ YEARS OF DRIVING.DEALER SAYS ITS NOT THE CAR. THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED. IN DEC 2004 THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, THE LUMBAR SUPPORT WAS BROKEN AND FIXED, THE DRIVER'S DOORHANDLE BROKE AND WAS FIXED BY KIA. JAN18 IT WAS BACK IN BECAUSE THE HOOD RELEASE WAS NOT WORKING. IT WAS FIXED AND WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE 1/19. ON 1/21 THE GAS PEDAL STUCK, I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY FIXED IT IMMEDIATELY. " THE COVER HAD FALLEN DOWN AND THEY TIED IT BACK UP." OBVIOUSLY NOT A GOOD JOB BECAUSE IT STUCK AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME AT 65MPH. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED BACK IN. I THINK IT IS A DEATH TRAP!
