| In 18 months my 2008 kia sedona has has continuous electrical problems, with this complaint focusing on the fact my vehicle has blown the 200 amp main fuse 4 times in 18 months, including while driving the vehicle 2 of the 4 times, causing complete loss of power and a safety issue as both times it happen while highway driving, with the dealer not being to determine the cause of the problem each and every time. they replace the fuse, run tests, and give the car back, at which point anywhere from 10 days to 6 months the fuse blows again. note this same vehicle was in and out of the dealer repair for a check engine light they were unable to turn off for more than 48 hours at a time (computer reset) for 9 months which i sued under lemon law for. | |||

| Vehicle stallled with out warning at 60 mph, throttle position sensor failed. this is the second one in our fleet of 4 2008 kia sedona's. searching the internet, and talking to the dealer this is a huge problem. i requested kia replace this part on the other two 2008 sedona's, they said not until it throws a code. we also have 2 2010 sedona's, i do not know if they have redesigned the part. for the 2008, this is a 50% failure rate and a safety hazard stalling at any speed is a safety hazard. | |||
