What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 kia sedona. The contact stated that while his wife was driving the vehicle, the vehicle's ABS warning light suddenly began to illuminate and the warning sounder began to chime. As his wife began to pull into their garage, the contact noticed smoke coming from the under the hood of the vehicle. His wife turned off the vehicle and the contact began to put out the fire.
Headlamps blowing out we have had to replace the headlamps about every 4-6 weeks and have taken it to the dealer 4 times on the head light problem and they say there is nothing wrong. So why do they keep blowing out. We have had both low beams blow out at the same time and have had to drive with the high beams which is unsafe to on coming traffic let along unsafe for us not to have any low beams. The second problem is a steering wheel vibration that we have has been a problem since we purchased the van.
