I know the link will epxire in the longrun so I'll paste in the important bits :-

As Featured on STEVE WRIGHT'S Website of the Day


Discover the common faults on a Kia Sedona (1999 - 2003) with this e-book

Before you buy a Kia Sedona (1999 - 2003) there are 12 common faults or wear items that you should check for. Our research amongst the experts that work on this specific model everyday, has identified:

- 2 area(s) on the bodywork to inspect
- 7 engine check(s) to make
- 1 wear item(s) to spot on the suspension
- 1 interior item(s) that you need to ensure work
- 1 official recall(s) that should have been completed.
>

So I'll start with the obvious ones :-

1. Bodywork #1 - rusty tailgate
2. Suspension - infamous noisey struts
3. Recall - exposed wiring harness under electric seat on SE model

Ha! No one needs to waste money on that when they can just ask us. We can tell 'em what breaks and maybe even how to take care of it. All for free.
