Description of the problem	The alternator on my 2006 kia sedona has been replaced at least 4 times but i believe 5 times (i am looking for 2 more receipts). The latest 3 replacements are: mileage 104472 date 6/2/2018; mileage 95255 date 3/23/16; mileage 70121 date 2/28/2011. Also had van at dealer and other repair shops to check alternator, electrical problems, battery, etc. Some of the dates that it was at the kia dealer or other repair for dimming lights, headlights dimming, are 2/12/2007 (15957 miles); 7/24/2008 (38853 miles); 11/24/2008 (43470 miles); 4/21/2009 (48936 miles); 3/14/2016 (94429). I have broken down twice due to alternator while out of town; one time in alabama, and last weekend in osage beach mo. Both times i had to have alternator replaced. Both caused a lot of stress because i had my kids with me and in alabama we were in the middle of no where. There is a problem with this vehicle since an alternator should not need to be replaced so many times. I have been complaining about this vehicle since almost day one about something strange with the electrical system. You can review the dealers records regarding this. Perhaps kia should consider a potential recall or different alternator.
