| 2003 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | I HAVE A KIA SEDONA VAN WITH APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS HEADLIGHTS BULBS THAT HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THIS, THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN REPLACED THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT. THE LAST TIME A BULB BURNED OUT THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED BOTH BULBS EVEN THOUGH ONLY ONE BULB BURNED OUT. THE RATIONAL FOR REPLACING BOTH BULBS WAS THAT ALL OF THE CURRENT WAS DIVERTED TO THE HEADLIGHT THAT WASN'T BURNED OUT, HENCE IT SHORTENED THE LIFE OF THE BULB THAT WAS WORKING. HOWEVER, SIX WEEKS LATER A NEW BULB WAS ALREADY BURNED OUT. AS I UNDERSTAND FROM TALKING WITH REPRESENTATIVES AT MY DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THE KIA VAN. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TWICE WHEN TRAVELLING OUT OF STATE -- ONCE WHEN IT WAS FOGGY AND BOTH TIMES AT NIGHT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A CAR LOSE A HEADLIGHT OUT-OF-THE BLUE AT NIGHT WHEN TRAVELING ON UNFAMILIAR ROADS. PLUS, THIS IS BECOMING EXPENSIVE! *TR |
| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | OIL SLUDGE IS BUILDING UP IN THE ENGINE. THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED AS REQUIRED AND THE ENGINE FLUSHED TO NO AVAIL. ANTWERPEN KIA DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO HONOR THE VEHICLE WARRANTY AND REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ENGINE. *JB |
