We have had nothing but trouble with this van and are currently trying to have the dealer take it back and give us a new one. First off it had mice in it before we bought it (bought it brand new); its stinks all the time (cleaned it out twice)..then on vacation on our way home it broke down chugging up hills and then just died..luckily we found a Kia dealer nearby and they found it was a bad fuel pump and replaced it..we were 8 hours away from home on vacation with 4 little kids. The TPMS light (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) comes on all the time when going over 60mph - the mechanic said this is not just monitoring tire pressure, it can indicate a problem with abs system; braking; or more.
THEN the big Kicker is we took it in to our local shop where its sitting now as it still didn't feel quite right, they found..........drum roll.........it needs a new TRANSMISSION!!!!
It is a brand new 2012 vehicle we are trying to prove its a lemon and get rid of it!!!! (by the way we had a 2006 kia sedona that we also purchased new - never had any issues with that one- we traded the 06 in for this lemon of a 2012
