We began to monitor closely and were adding coolant and oil frequently.  We did not see any oil leaking on the engine or driveway. We brought the car into the Cherry Hill Kia service center to get checked.  We were aware of a recall involving coolant and oil and thought this could be related. I told the mechanic we were checking the coolant and oil every week because it would run low and the check engine light would come on. We would add both oil and coolant and the check engine light would go out soon after. The Kia mechanic told us we needed new radiator hoses and an alternator.  I pressed the mechanic because I did not understand how that would affect the oil consumption. We paid for the diagnostic and oil change and took our car to another mechanic and they replaced the entire radiator and alternator.  This was in October, 24.  In January of 25 we were driving on a 45 mph road with no shoulder when the lights on the dashboard lit up and we began to lose power.  The vehicle stopped and we could not even get the hazard lights to function. My children were in the car.  The police had to be called to stop traffic so we could safely push the car off the road until it could be towed.  The vehicle is currently at Burlington Kia and we have been informed we need a  whole new engine.  We have always been diligent about maintaining our cars.  I have no doubt that this is the result of poor engineering and design and puts families like ours in danger.

We called Kia for service but nothing was available for 2 weeks; all Kia dealers were similar. No check engine light was illuminated. My husband popped the hood, saw the coolant cap was open and the coolant fluid level in the normal range (slightly above the minimum line). Closing the cap, he test drove the car. Although driving fine, he took the Sedona to a shop where the hood was again popped- the coolant level was showing now above the max fill line, no coolant had been added; as no fluid was seen by the mechanic and since no check engine light was lit, an appointment was made to bring the car back for a full diagnostic.  On 2/2/24, after driving 3 miles and making a turn, I thought I saw smoke. But, it was a rainy day so I thought it was condensation from the concrete. After 1 mile, again while slowing to turn, I thought I saw smoke again; I pulled down the window and smelled burning. At this point I was near my home and the check engine light now turned on. Since there was nowhere to safely stop, I proceeded to the front of my home and summoned my husband. He opened the hood and noticed smoke and extreme heat from the engine, but fortunately no fire. After a couple of days, we decided to tow the car to a shop for diagnostics instead of waiting 2 weeks for Kia- we were told the engine had failed. Stunned by the rapidity of these events, we contacted Kia Customer Support and towed the car to our Kia dealer. I have been told the head bolt stripped causing coolant to mix with oil and the engine to fail; the engine itself will cost $8,148 and, and, with ancillary repairs, the total repair will be over $12000.  The car has 125k miles and has been fully serviced at Kia over 9 years, lastly 4 months ago which included coolant service.

I ENDED UP REPLACING IT MYSELF AND AS I BEGAN TO REPLACE THE UNIT I NOTICED SOMETHING DISTURBING.

I ASKED THE KIA SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING HE TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE I USED THE CAR FOR UBER AND THE SYSTEM WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE RAN AS MUCH AS I DRIVE THE CAR, THE PICTURES ARE ATTACHED.  IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR AT ABOUT 201,232 MILES MY FRONT BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING  AS I WENT TO GET IT REPLACED, I NOTICED THE SAME ISSUED WITH THE CONNECTOR.  THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR BURNT OUT AND SHORTED THE BLOWER MOTOR, AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THAT WAS A COINCIDENT, I UNPLUGGED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR TO CHECK IT AND FOUND THAT CONNECTOR THERE TOO HAD BEEN MELTING AND BURNING.
