NHTSA Complaint #10123844 — 2004 KIA SEDONA

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 KIA SADONA. THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE REPEATEDLY FAILED IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. A COUPLE OF TIMES THE DEALER PUT FUSES IN THE VEHICLE, AND THEY CLAIMED THAT SOMETHING HAD BEEN PLUGGED INTO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER THAT DID NOT WORK. THE MASTER TECHNICIAN PUT A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BOARD. THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A WEEK UP TO A MONTH, AND THE PROBLEM WOULD COME BACK. AT NIGHTS, THEY CANNOT SEE THE SPEED OR FUEL OR ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES FOR ELECTRICAL REASONS. *AK
