2017 Kia SEDONA problems and owner complaints

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY WARNINGS/INFORMATION ABOUT THE EDIBLE WIRING IN THE AUTO EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I COULD FIND NOTHING IN THE PROVIDED LITERATURE. I AM A 73 YEAR OLD WIDOW AND I HAD RESEARCHED THIS CAR. IT RATED HIGH FOR SAFETY. I HAD TO HAVE A SAFE CAR. IN FEBRUARY,2018 WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD WARNING LIGHTS ABOUT ABS APPEARED AND THE REAR WASHER DID NOT WORK. DIAGNOSED AS CHEWED WIRING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID NOT THEIR PROBLEM!

SINCE JANUARY 2020 I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MALFUNCTIONING ELECTRICAL ISSUES BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND STANDING STILL. WITHOUT ME NEEDING THE USE OF MY WIPERS THEY WILL TURN ON ALL BY THEMSELVES WHILE IN THE OFF POSITION. THIS WOULD BE BOTH FRONT AND REAR WIPERS. AS I TRY TO TURN THEM OFF BY MOVING THE WIPER ARM UP AND DOWN AT TIMES THE SPEED WON'T CHANGE AT ALL OR FOR EXAMPLE THE HIGHEST SPEED LEVEL WOULD WORK AT THE LOWEST SPEED LEVEL. AS WELL THE HIGH BEAM WOULD ACTIVATE THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THESE OCCURRENCES. I ALSO EXP…

THE VAN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN UPON SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I STOP, BUT HAS HAPPEN A TOTAL OF 8-10 TIMES IN THE 9 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VAN. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THAT I PURCHASED THE VAN THE VAN STALLED TWICE. WHEN THE VAN STALLS THERE IS A COMPLETE LOST OF POWER. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VAN I NEED TO RETURN THE KEY TO THE START POSITION IN THE IGNITION AND TURN THE KEY OVER AGAIN TO START THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VAN ON THREE OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE VE…

Engine turned off unexpectedly while driving. It has happened twice since owning the car (bought September 2021). Both instances occurred while I was slowing down into a turn. The first, I was slowing into a turn lane at a stop sign. The second, I was slowing into a turn through a green light. I was able, in both instances, to shift to neutral and restart while still moving. When the engine shuts off, the red engine light turns on, power steering is gone, but electrical stays on

Engine with around 107K miles has had regular maintenance done to it. Went out one morning to start my van and there was a knocking noise coming from under the hood. We then had it towed to an engine/transmission repair shop to have it looked at and was told that we needed a new/used engine and the price was thru the roof. this is a very trusted shop so took there advice. To have the engine replaced is going to cost more than what the vehicle is worth. This is a known issue with some kia engines as they with no signs of failure prior to th…
