Kia Forum - View Single Post - 2006 Sedona Issues!! Days out of Service?

Time out of service:

Recall adjustments - 1 day,
Check on brake squeal - 1/2 day during regular service
Brakes and minor oil leak fixed - 1 day

Timing chain tensioners (at my discretion) 3 days as mechanic out with flu on one of the days .... we had a Ford Windstar loaner, were very glad to get the Sedona back as it is a lot nicer vehicle.

Figure the time out of service is mainly owing to having bought an early run vehicle ... Have not been stranded or had need of repair that was urgent. My '82 VW leaked oil for 150K - until I rebuilt the engine myself, VW would not fix it. Had to go in several times to get VW to attempt to fix my noisy brakes ... then fix them myself.

KIA on the other hand has fixed everything without fuss. Great service, good work, quality parts and attention to detail. If every dealer was as good as mine has been so far (knock on faux wood dash) you would see more KIAs on the road.

George in Wisconsin, 2 Spectras, Sedona, VW Camper bought new in '82.
