2008 Kia Sedona consumer reviews

Very Comfortable Seating As I Live In The Car, Smooth Ride On Well Maintained Highways & Byways,Exceptional Dependability As Well,Excellent Deal On My New Kia.

Had this car for 11 years, very reliable, just minor things repaired. Would buy a Kia Again. Plenty of space, used in our estate sale business to load things after we took out the seats.

Have had this vehicle for maybe 10 years. KIA sends a notice that there is a recall on ABS. Says don't drive it and park it away from the house and other vehicles. Might catch fire with no one near it. That was 2 months ago. There it sits. I am paying to insure it and can't drive it because KIA never followed up. I'd prefer it did not blow up. Does KIA intend to do anything about it?

Trying to see this car I loved it like a baby but it’s time I think to move on.. she’s been a good little girl and I think she will make some family very happy.

bought thus van to replace my beloved Toyota of 22 years, it is still running well but needs a repair that would cost too much in labour for a cooling | heat system if they could even find the parts. After a lot of researching I found this kia sedona at a price I could manage and am really delighted with it. Has a few things to fix but most are common for any vehicle and the rest are covered by a recall. I was surprised to see they honored this recall since I am not the first owner. it is comfortable to ride and I was concerned that on a bit of ice it slowed down on its own, I thought something was wrong with the car... i came to realize it was the cars intuitive design reacting to the road conditions....I was most grateful for that. So far enjoying it as much as my dear old toyota, with many more bells and whistles that I am still learning. feels good and solid and has lots of room for people and the dogs. I love the zone heating too!

I bought this van 4 years ago with 130000 miles and it has had NO issues with the engine or drive train. only oil changes and brakes/tires. it now has 183000 miles and still drives like a champion. The only issues are with the power doors sometimes they don't wanna close/open in freezing temperatures.

I bought the Kia Sedona 2008 new and have been the main driver. Currently have 166K miles on it. At 30K, the Throttle Position Sensor failed which left me with zero power in the middle of the road. I restarted it, limped it home and Kia did come to tow it to the dealership and replace the faulty part as it was under warranty. the service manager was condescending to me when I suggested there should be a safety recall. I explained that this is a safety issue becuase if I had been on the highway when this happened, as I usually am with my children in the car, I would have been rear-ended. Ever since the TPS was replaced, the performance is terrible and it hesitates when I hit the gas, and then lurches. The transmission now clunks, and for the past 100K miles, there is a problem with the suspension we have not been able to get fixed. The cruise control has never held a steady speed. I travel for work often and have driven a multitude of vehicles. None have been as unsatisfactory as this van. We don't take this vehicle on long trips because the seats are very uncomfortable. Interior is still aesthetically in very good shape, electronics are still working with no issues, so is very disappointing that the performance and handling are so poor. After my experience with this vehicle and with the Service manager I will never buy another Kia.

The Kia Sedona has plenty of legroom and is great for a big family or, in our case families who love to travel. 3 Rows of seating, temperature control for driver and passenger, and comfortable seats. Sleek design and great gas mileage with a 5 star safety rating.

The van itself is very comfortable. The only real complaint I have of the overall vehicle is that in the winter time the automatic side doors freeze and won't open. My complaint with KIA is we paid $250 for them to put our van on the machine to find the problems. They couldn't figure it out and started telling me things we knew it wasn't because we already looked into it and replaced those things, which we told the not so bright mechanics. Then we researched it and emailed people online who had worked with this exact van. They told me of a defective part and exactly what to get. We did. Bought the part and the seal from KIA in Toledo. My husband was working a lot of overtime so we paid the KIA in Findlay to put the part on. We left the van there and came back to pick it up. On our way home we we're having the same issues, we got home my husband looked and said they didn't put the seal on. I don't know how to make it any easier for your mechanics...we researched it, went and picked up the parts and they still screwed it up. My husband ended up still fixing it himself after we paid way too much to have their "certified mechanics" to do it. NEVER WILL THEY SEE US BUYING ANITHER KIA!!! After fixing it, no issues with this van. So far.

I love the Sedona line. They are wider than most of the minivans available on the market and handle extremely well. The only down side I would say is that parts can be pricey due to less aftermarket parts available. With 3 catalytic converters, it can be very expensive if you need a complete exhaust system replaced.
