| 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 | |||

| Over the past year, i have replaced struts, bushings, cv boots, & countless other items on suspension. i have had sedona looked @ by multiple mechanics. have driven around w/ me on both occasions. had three ase certified guys at one time checking everywhere for lose or broken parts. we even checked spare tire & the pressure in it. when i go over any uneven surface, something rattles or clunks under the van. not a little, a lot! everyone can actually feel it, not just hear it. cannot pin point location.it seems mostly around spare tire area, but i feel it under driver & passenger area too. middle & back can feel & hear it. you cannot make it happen over things like speed bumps. just uneven surfaces. random.. so embarrassing & making me crazy! i also have had on 5 or 6 occasions when driving, i will take foot off gas as cars slow or exiting up a hwy ramp. when i push to excel, it wont catch but the engine rpms go crazy & engine races. i have to try to let off & reapply foot to gas to get it to grab. i almost got rearended twice! it happens fast, suddenly & far in between. scares me to death. it is like the transmission is slipping, but had at dealership long ago for this & just like the other stuff, if they cannot make it happen... sorry, out of luck! i now am just under the 100k mark & still cannot get resolve. cannot sell a clunking car! *tr | |||
