Consumer Description

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE 2002 KIA SEDONA HAS BEEN ON AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ASSESSED MANY TIMES. PER THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS NO WAY TO IDENTIFY IF THE AIRBAG WORKS OR NOT. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO THE HATCHBACK HAVE FAILED AND THE ABILITY TO OPEN THE HATCHBACK HAS CAUSED AN ISSUE WITH RELEASING THE CAGE TO DROP THE SPARE TIRE. BE PREPARED THERE IS NOT A LIGHT THAT TELLS YOU THE HATCHBACK WILL NOT OPEN WHICH COULD LEAD TO A MULTITUDE OF PROBLEMS WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A TIRE FAILURE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON A WEEKEND AND GO TO OPEN THE HATCH AND IT WILL NOT OPEN, THEREFORE THE ABILITY TO USE THE SPARE IS NOW NULL AND VOID. HOPEFULLY THE CELL PHONE YOU OWN HAS RECEPTION TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW YOUR CAR TO THE NEAREST TOWN. ONCE THERE I HOPE THE HOTEL LEFT THE LIGHT ON BECAUSE THE TIRE STORE IS NOT OPEN AT 10 PM. THE BRAKE LIGHT HARDWARE IS NOT BOLTED IN PROPERLY- WHEN I BOUGHT MY VAN SOMEONE HAD ACTUALLY USED VELCRO TO HOLD THE BRAKELIGHTS/TAILIGHT COVERS IN PLACE. WHICH ALSO CONSISTS OF A HEADLIGHT ISSUE- WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW/RAIN I MUST REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS EVERY 6 TO 8 WEEKS. *TR
