What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 kia sedona. While driving 75 MPH, the ESC indicator illuminated and the accelerator failed on the vehicle. The contact attempted to pull over and the vehicle decelerated. He turned off the vehicle and restarted it, but the failure recurred after driving one mile. The dealer stated that they would inspect the vehicle and reset the ESC computer under warranty. The vehicle was repaired twice, but the failure persists. The contact believes this is a big safety hazard.
On friday, april 17th, 2020, [xxx] received the safety recall interim notice for his 2006 kia sedona stating that the engine is at risk for fire when vehicle is off. The letter states to park the vehicle until repaired and says that the risk of fire is due to moisture in an electrical system of the engine that can short out even when the vehicle is shut off. We have pleaded with kia findlay and the kia consumer center to at least check for moisture in the unit of concern, but were turned away.
