| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 kia sedona lx, purchased new from the dealer. Fall of 2010 we began having problems with the esc light off / check engine lights turning on. Once that happens you can't accelerate,even when you push the gas pedal down it does not work. When this happens you have to shut the car off, restart and pray it wont happen again. We took it to a kia dealer, they replaced a brake sensor light, which they said can cause the esc light to malfunction. It worked for a couple of months but now the problem is back, and worse than ever. The van loses the ability to accelerate without warning, on the highway, right after starting the car,.. Etc. We have four children and the van is just not safe. |
