Hi
Just wondering if anyone out there who tows with a Sedona has had any problems with the auto box.
Ours has had spells where it tows perfectlty for about 60 miles and then suddenly it will go from 5th at 2000-2250 revs to 2nd or 3rd at up to 4000revs.
The clincher is when it locks itself into safety mode in second gear.
If you go to N then back to D it will carry on perfectly.
Selecting manual does not help!
At all other times it drives perfectly and we've had no other problems.
Kia servicing have been really helpful and tell me they've other Sedonas with the same problem but only when towing.
Apparently Kia have not got a 'fix' yet.
It's a shame as we find when it's 'normal' it's a really useful tow car.
Unfortunately you can go miles towing blissfully well and then it's like a sci-fi film where the machine starts taking over.
Best regards
Tomo
