2006 Kia Sedona

ON MY CRUISE CONTROL WHEN I SET TO CERTAIN SPEED, IT WILL SPEED UP, I HAD IT SET TO 65 MPH AND IT SPED UP BY ITSELF TO 85 BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO GO OFF. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAK TO GET IT TO GO OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THE CAR WILL NOT START ALL THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON, BUT CAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. CHECKED FUSES ALL GOOD, GROUND WIRE WAS TAKEN LOOSE AND PAINT GRINDER OFF AND PUT BACK ON, STILL WON'T START. IT STARTED NOT STARTING EVERY NOW AND THEN AND NOW IT WON'T START AT ALL. I READ WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL KIA SPECIFICALLY 2006 .

I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE AND HAD JUST DRIVEN A SHORT DISTANCE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ESC OFF CAME ON AS THE CAR SLOWED TO ALMOST A STOP. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND RAISED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGHLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES BUT NOTHING CHAGED; IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON. THE ESC OFF LIGHT EVENTUALLY WENT OUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON BUT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO LUBRICATED A THROTTLE CABLE AFTER CHECKING THE CODES. IT WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT BUT THE ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY AFTER THAT. I AM AFRAID OF LOSING POWER WHEN I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT AN INTERSECTION, MERGING, OR ANYWHERE I WILL BE IN DANGER IF I CANNOT MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHAKES BADLY...KIA, WHERE I PURCHASE MY 2006 TOLD ME, IT IS THE SUB FRAME WHICH CAUSES MY VAN TO SHAKE. THE SALT IN PENNSYLVANIA CAUSES THE FRAME OF THIS VAN TO RUST AWAY. I WELL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT! THERE IS NO RECALL...THIS WILL COST ME $2,000.00. I BELIEVE IF YOU LIVE... WHERE IT SNOWS. THE VEHICLES SHOULD BE MADE FOR STATES WHICH HAVE SNOW.....AND USE SALT ON THE ROADS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAID FOR THIS. THE SUB FRAME NEEDS TO BE RECALL BY KIA MANUFACTURER.THE MILEAGE ON MY VAN IS 63,553. ALSO, KIA STATED THAT IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THERE WAS A RECALL ON LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THEY FIXED THAT, BUT STILL IT SHAKES. IT'S THE SUB FRAME.GUEST WHAT! THEY INSPECTED MY VAN ON JAN 8, 2014,. KIA, PASSED MY VAN FOR GOOD CONDITION AND MY VAN WAS INSPECTED AFTER THEY CORRECTED THE CONTROL ARMS. AGAIN, IT STILL SHAKES....IT IS THE SUB FRAME. HOW DID KIA PASS THE VAN FOR INSPECTION. "THE SUB FRAME IS STILL ROTTEN". SO, ARE THEY WAITING FOR A ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN OR SOMEONE IS KILLED. KIA YOU NEED A RECALL ON SUB FRAME! *TR

DRIVING APPROX 35 MPH WHEN KIA VAN LOST POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. NO FORWARD MOVEMENT WITH GAS PEDAL PRESSED DOWN. SAT FOR 10 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN CORNER, LOST POWER AGAIN. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, SAT FOR ANOTHER 10/15 MINUTES THEN DROVE TO AUTO MECHANIC. REPLACED THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR FOR 2ND TIME. VEHICLE COMPUTER ALSO RESET. SERIOUS SAFETY RISK AS VEHICLE LOSES POWER IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING AND VERY LIMITED TIME TO MAKE DECISION WHERE TO COAST TO AS YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY DRIVING CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC, SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESTROYED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO HER HOUSE AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE CONTACT'S BEHALF. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
