| Description of the problem | Vehicle stallled with out warning at 60 mph, throttle position sensor failed. This is the second one in our fleet of 4 2008 kia sedona's. Searching the internet, and talking to the dealer this is a huge problem. I requested kia replace this part on the other two 2008 sedona's, they said not until it throws a code. We also have 2 2010 sedona's, i do not know if they have redesigned the part. For the 2008, this is a 50% failure rate and a safety hazard stalling at any speed is a safety hazard. |
