Known issues on the 1994 Sephia. One recall is on federal record for this model year, filed under the power train: the electronic speedometer sensor can seize, causing the speedometer and cruise control (if the car is equipped with cruise control) to stop functioning, and the loss of cruise control will cause a temporary loss of control of vehicle speed. Owners have filed 25 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 4 technical service bulletins.
From tracing a dead speedometer or a dropped cruise control back to a seizing sensor to keeping the 1.6L on Kia's own service intervals, the work stays on the procedures and specifications Kia wrote for the 1994 Sephia.
THE ELECTRONIC SPEEDOMETER SENSOR CAN SEIZE, CAUSING THE SPEEDOMETER AND CRUISE CONTROL (IF THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH CRUISE CONTROL) TO STOP FUNCTIONING.
Consequence
THE LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL WILL CAUSE TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE SPEED. LOSS OF THE SPEEDOMETER WILL RESULT IN THE OPERATOR NOT KNOWING THE ACTUAL SPEED OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW SPEEDOMETER DRIVE GEAR, ELECTRONIC SENSOR, AND FLEXIBLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
