Tl* the contact owns a 2008 kia sedona. The contact stated several months ago, smoke was seen coming from the front of the vehicle while stopped at a stop sign. The contact stated that recently she parked, the vehicle and it failed to reverse, she checked the oil level however, there was no oil in the engine. The contact stated that the failure recurred as while she was driving smoke was seen in the vehicle and the brake pedal failed to engage while depressed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated.
We had to replace some sensors around 40,000 miles and now again at 60,000 miles the same problem,...the ESC light comes on stays on and the engine loses power..... The next time you start it up it may be fine for that whole trip...the next day the problem is back....
