There was a 'TSB' sent out about this issue, which I believe was restricted
to the '02's and some early '03's (before they fixed the defect).
This is not a recall, and does not save you from the expense, but at least
the dealer should know just what to do.
While I fault Kia for niggling little problems like that, I will also
commend them for finding the problem (by the middle of the '03 model year)
and fixing it. There were a TON of annoyances on the '02 that were fixed
in
later models.
I think you would find that the '08 is an infinitely superior vehicle,
with
a build quality many times that of the '02. And right now, the incentives
for owners of current Sedonas to buy new ones are really good.
