| My vehicle suddenly stopped to react to the gas pedal, motor rpm fell down to ~1000 rpm - usually its idle value. the problem happened as i was trying to speed up while entering the traffic on a highway, and it created a dangerous situation. it looks like a common problem with kia sedona vehicles, i was able to find quite a few references on the internet, for example see this: http://www.kia-forums.com/kia-carnival-sedona-2006/61112-sudden-loss-accelerator-response.html | |||

| The lights have to be shut off manually every time we use the lights and if we forget, the lights come back on a few hours later by themselves and someone will call to inform us the lights are on. we went on a wet gravel road and gravel stuck in the brake drum and making a grinding noise. i backed up fast, hit the brakes hard a couiple of times to clear the gravel from the brake drums. another problejm is the key will not turn and the steering wheel is locked and have to play with the steering wheel and try to wiggle it until the key can be turned to start the van. | |||
