| Description of the problem | Kia sedona 2004-vehicle will not shut off even when the keys are removed from the ignition. The car will drive however no functions on the dashboard will work, lights, wipers, radio, headlights etc. This happened for about 1 week in june 2009 and here and there throughout the summer. I did have it towed back to the dealership but at the time they were unable to identify the problem as it had corrected itself. It happened again the week of october 21st. The battery had to be disconnected to turn the vehicle off. They are still unsure of what is causing the car to remain on without the key in the ignition. |
