Kia's are ok, but there is a reason they give you that 100,000 mile warranty, because they know their cars are going to have problems. I am an ASE master technian and see alot of kia's including my mother's 2002 sedona that has 36,000 miles on it and has already had both head gaskets replaced because of coolant leakage, valve cover gaskets replaced because extreme oil leakage, upper radiator hose leaking, radio replaced three times, alternator twice, power steering pump because of whinning. Luckly she's got that warranty but that does not componsate for her inconvience of not have her vehicle. I will admit some owner's may not have as many problems as her with their kia's but i infasize the word YET! The part's and quality control on the kias are very poor. I'll stick with my toyota's and honda's over any kia any day. Good luck and get your problems fixed before that warranty is up and you have to spend some big bucks.
