Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE 2003 KIA SEDONA IN JUNE OF 2012 AND BY OCTOBER OF 2013 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR TWICE IN LESS THEN A MONTH DUE TO IT LOSING POWER NOW THE CAR CONTINUES TO LOOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE IT IS STOPPED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW AND THE ALTERNATOR IS BRAND NEW BUT THE BATTERY DIES EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. ALL THE MECHANICS CAN TELL ME IS THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY BUT IT IS WORKING. IT WILL START HICCUPING WHEN YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE. *TR
