2006 Kia Sedona

ON MY CRUISE CONTROL WHEN I SET TO CERTAIN SPEED, IT WILL SPEED UP, I HAD IT SET TO 65 MPH AND IT SPED UP BY ITSELF TO 85 BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO GO OFF. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAK TO GET IT TO GO OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THE CAR WILL NOT START ALL THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON, BUT CAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. CHECKED FUSES ALL GOOD, GROUND WIRE WAS TAKEN LOOSE AND PAINT GRINDER OFF AND PUT BACK ON, STILL WON'T START. IT STARTED NOT STARTING EVERY NOW AND THEN AND NOW IT WON'T START AT ALL. I READ WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL KIA SPECIFICALLY 2006 .

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN FRONT CONTROL ARM MOUNT AT SUBFRAME BROKE, CAUSING STEERING AND SUSPENSION TO MALFUNCTION ALMOST CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS IN THE ONCOMING LANE, OR I WOULD HAVE HIT HEAD ON WITH ANOTHER CAR AND AUTO BECAME HARD TO STEER/CONTROL UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE DOWN TO LOWER SPEED. KIA HAS KNOWN RECALL FOR LOWER CONTROL ARMS RUSTING, BUT NOTHING PER DEALER FOR SUBFRAME RUSTING/BREAKING. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

THE BACK FRAME OF MY 2006 KIA SEDONA IS ALL CORRODED. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR ANY MORE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOV-2006 AND IN DECEMBER 2011 I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT FRAME DUE TO CORROSION. IN MARCH 2014, I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT SUSPENSION DUE TO CORROSION AND NOW THE BACK FRAME IS ALL CORRODED. I WOULD LIKE THAT SOMEONE REALLY CHECK ON KIIA'S MATERIALS. IS INCREDIBLY THAT AFTER 5 YEARS I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT FRAME. AND UP TODAY'S DAY. I HAVE THE SAME CORROSION ISSUE. I LEAVE IN NEW JERSEY AND I KNOW THAT IN THE WINTER, THERE IS LOTS OF SALT ON THE STREETS BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ON ANY OTHER BRAND. THIS ISSUE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE SAFETY OF THE CAR.

FUSES KEEP BURNING OUT. AND CAUSE CAR TO STOP OR TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I WENT TO TEST MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AND BOTH WERE GOOD. I WAS DRIVING ON 29 NORTH HEADED TOWARD LYNCHBURG. VA AND DRIVING 70MPH AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND I QUICKLY PULLED OVER. TURNED OFF THE VAN, WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. AFTER WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK (ALMOST 2 HOURS) WE GOT HOMETESTED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. AUTO ADVANCE TOLD ME BOTH WERE GOOD. EVERY FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX WAS BURNED OUT. A WIRE UNDER THE ALTERNATOR WAS BURNED OUT.

AFTER RUNNING MY VAN FOR A BIT I SHUT IT OFF AND WHEN I COME BACK OUT TO START IT IT WON'T START SO I LOOKED IT UP BEFORE AND I WAS TOLD TO REMOVE MY MEMORY FUSE AND RETURN IT BACK SO I DID THAT FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW I HAVE TO RELEASE THE ALTERNATOR FUSE FOR A BIT AND WAIT LIKE 5 MINS AND THEN PUSH IT BACK IN AND THEN VAN WILL START. BUT LATELY IT'S GETTING WHERE IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL REMOVEING ANY OF THE FUSES . IF I LET THE VAN SET A FEW DAYS THEN TRY TO START IT THEN IT WILL START BUT IT WILL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN AND LEAVES ME SITTING WHERE EVER IM AT WITH IT WITH NO WAY OF GETTING IT STARTED .. I'VE HAD GARAGES TELL ME IT IN MY FUSE PANEL OR WIRES IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER DASH BUT CANT GET NOONE TO TOUCH IT . IT'S A REALLY NICE VAN BESIDE THIS ISSUE I WOULD REALLY LIKE IT FIXED WITHOUT COSTING ME AN ARM OR LEG IN LABOR AND COST . I'VE HAD SOME TELL ME ITS A FACTORY ISSUE CAUSE I'VE TALK TO PPL THAT HAVE THE SAME VAN AND THEY HAVE ISSUE ALSO . PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR IF IT'S A RECALL THEN TELL ME SO I CAN GET MINE FIXED PLEASE .. THANKS

AFTER I EXPERIENCED THE LATCH PROBLEM THAT FRONT HOOD FLIPPED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE E LOCKED UP. BROUGHT IT TO INSURANCE MECHANIC, FIXED HOOD AND ENGINE. DROVE OUT FROM THEIR IN 5 MINUTES, THE ENGINE STALLED ON HIGHWAY AGAIN. NEVER BEEN ABLE TO START UP. MECHANIC WANTED TO TAKE IT AS A NEW CASE, NOT AS AN EXISTING CLAIM. SO WE JUST TOWED THE CAR BACK HOME.
