hello
the reason I originally joined this forum for a single reason of my sedona not working speradically (sp)..
I will try to explain.
I use it for work every day 17 miles each way and it tended to work pretty well although very bad on fuel consumption 25 mpg..
but at christmas 100 miles into our journey with a full car of people, luggage and gifts, the revs dropped from 2,500 a nice 75 mph and struggled to get back up again, if you floored it the needle would fly up and down, but the car ran perfectly up to about 1900 revs, which luckily just allows it to change gear to get a max of about 55mph. it was fine the rest of the holiday no luggage, people or gifts. and got checked at a kia garage their who said the diagnostics had shown up some errors!! but they had no spares during the holiday season. it had its 20K service on holiday too, and assuming that may have been the problem.. we embarked on our journey home and low and behold 45 miles into the journey the same problem occurred. this has been happening occasionally and maybe is due to loading or revs etc etc.. it has been adjusted checked looked at several times and today loaded with 7 adults and taken for a spin by the garage with no problems.!!!
is this an injector problem that other people have talked about on here, when it happens.. if I am on my own (eg car is lightweight) I can floor it for a minute and it sort of clears the problem temporarily.
arrrhhhhhh please help... I hate kia now and I want to start liking them... I feel that the ex demo model we were sold we were sold because it was already broken. although it was fine for 8 months apart from a few niggly problems. air bag light / broken door / ECU change / seat belt change / now rust and this mechanical problem.
many thanks
