| Description of the problem | 2007 kia sedona. At about 62,000 miles suspension was making noise. Dealer diagnosed the front sub cross member bushings as needing replacement-to the tune of $2200. 00! This was done and it fixed the problem. At 67,000 miles a new front end noise has developed over bumps. I'm now told the control arm bushings need to be replaced and sway bar link bushings will be next. Car is maintained and used for local short trips around town. I would expect a recall for using substandard bushings. |
