The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

<p>The Kia Sedona was introduced in the 2002 model year. Kia says it changed the frontal airbag system for 2002-05 models built after March 2002 (see details below). A redesigned Sedona was introduced as a 2006 model.</p>
Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. There was too much upward steering wheel movement. During rebound, the dummy's head moved partway out the open side window and hit the B-pillar. Also, in a separate 5 mph frontal impact without dummies in the car, both frontal airbags deployed. Such deployments not only are unnecessary in low-speed crashes but also may cause injuries to front-seat occupants positioned too close to the airbags. Note: Kia says it changed the airbag system for 2002 and later models built after March 2002 so that the airbags will no longer deploy in such a low-speed impact. Therefore, the restraints/dummy kinematics rating improves to MARGINAL for the later models.
Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injury to these body regions. However, a high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the B-pillar, indicating the possibility of head injury.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL

Description:
|
On certain vehicles, during assembly, the throttle cable would twist itself out of position. This can permit the cable to be hung up, which could result in a crash. Dealers will replace the throttle cable. Vehicles produced from March 20, 2001 through November 7, 2001 will have a guide clip installed on the throttle body assembly in order to ensure that the tension force cable does not move out of position. Vehicles manufactured beginning on November 8, 2001, already have the extended guide, which accomplishes the same objective. The recall is expected to begin at the end of February 2005. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542.

Description:
|
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with power seats, the wiring under the front seats could be misrouted, allowing contact with metal seat components. This contact could eventually result in a short circuit condition that may result in a fire in the junction box area of the vehicle. Dealers will inspect and re-route the wires under the power seats, if necessary, as well as install protective seaming welts around those wires to better insulate them. The recall began on November 28, 2005. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542.

Summary:
|
A great value among minivans.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com
Kia is getting more mighty every day, gaining the acceptance of American consumers. The company now sells more vehicles in the U.S. than Jaguar, Saab, or Land Rover do. The Sedona is Kia's first minivan, and the company says minivan buyers are far more demanding than compact-car buyers.The new Sedona offers an outstanding value when compared with other minivans. Quality? Only time will tell. In the meantime, the Kia Sedona offers much lower monthly payments, a responsive V6, an impressive list of features, and one of the best warranties in the business. |
|
Overview:
|
Kia's all-new Sedona offers an exceptionally good value for a big family who doesn't want to break the budget on a minivan. The 2002 Kia Sedona is bigger than a Dodge Caravan and comes loaded with popular features, but costs thousands less than popular minivans.
