The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[benchph1]

I cant think of anything else that will make the van vibrate when braking while going downhill. engine supports?

Palpak din Delta Motors sa Marikina. Stay away from this dealership.

my sedona will be having its 40t km checkup, i inquired at Wheels New Manila and they said it will cost around P12,000...they will replace the fuel and air filters and its a major checkup...my questions are:
1. Is it really this expensive?
2. I was suppose to have it serviced at Signet Edsa but read somwhere that their service and mechanics are not that good..is it true? is Wheels New Manila better?
3. Do you have other suggestions where i can have my Sedona serviced?

Hope to here from you guys...your inputs and reactions will be much appreciated...thanks in advance

bisoy, me ABS ka ba? baka lang nag slide gulong mo going downhill at that speed. tires worned out? vibration also happened to me when stepping brakes on gravel.

not sure boss. my unit is a first gen local carnival LS model. alam ko may airbag. not sure about the abs. meron nga ba? ganito ba ang effect ng abs?

[ten45]

if you have airbag, you might have ABS. it releases and depresses the brakes multiple times when the tires are slipping. you can try (ON A VERY SAFE and CLEAR road) to "feel" your ABS. find a slippery but empty road and press hard on the brake. if you are able to duplicate the vibration, then it must be it. be very careful please.

I believe the gen1 also has ABS, like the gen2. Several times have felt the ABS kick in when I brake hard. Its a weird feeling, as it makes you think there is something wrong with the brake system. ABS at work feels like braking on a gravel road, or that your pads are worn out, but without the squealing sound, or it feels like your brakes are pulsating very hard. The initial reaction would be to lessen stepping on the brakes when in reality, you must continue to apply pressure on the brakes to allow the ABS to work.

Yes, it may feel like your whole car vibrating, though I don't think it is as "emphasized" the way you explain it pareng bisoy.

thanks for the explanation. i do know how ABS works pero hanggang theory lang kasi ako. i have never driven one with ABS until this van kaya hindi ko ma compare. i will try to do what you suggested. thanks

Lately, many forumers have been dissatisfied with the service at Wheels E. Rodriguez (New Manila). My sguggestion would be to ask for an itemized breakdown of the parts and labor charges that Wheels plans to include in the PMS, and then compare same with the quotation from another casa.

Since I live in the province, I cannot personally endorse any Metro Manila service centers, but if you search the thread, you'll find several comments on Wheels, Delta Motors and other outlets.

Try Kia Pasay. Or call other dealer that is near to you and ask what is included.

got my new sliding glass door from goodgear. good
mikey177, can't really tell how it got broken. got lazy and left the car outside. alarm beeped, i looked out the window seeing nothing but my dog who probably bumped the car. later i was shocked to see the broken glass. no big rock or stray bullet anywhere. unless windows breaks on hot weather(is it possible??), i'm guessing some kids throwed a small rock at my dog and hit the car. but again i didn't see any kids that time.

just can't help commenting on this.

windows breaking under hot weather is less likely. one clue that you can look at is where the peices of the broken glass were located. pieces inside the car means the force came from the outside, it could have been done with stone or other hard objects. if this is the case, my guess is it was hit with a hand-held object like pipe or baseball bat that is why you were not able to find anything other than thebroken glass. kung ito nga ang nangyari, ingat ka na lang sa pagpa-park at malmang napagtripan yung sasakyan mo.

but if the broken glass are outside the car then atleast you are sure na hindi gawa ng tao pero it will also raise another concern like quality ng glass na ginagamit ng kia.

pasensya na kung late, but i am also looking at carnival as possible car for the family.
