ON 6/23/2010 AT 3:45PM, I WAS DRIVING A 2009 KIA SEDONA VAN AND ENTERED A BANK PARKING LOT AT A VERY LOW SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND HIT THE WALL OF THE BANK. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, AND I SUFFERED INJURIES TO MY RIGHT ARM FROM THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CAR, AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO ANY OTHER PERSON. PROPERTY DAMAGE WAS ONLY INCURRED TO THE VEHICLE AND THE BANK BUILDING WALL. THERE WERE NO FI

I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST YEAR AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THIS SPRING WHEN IT HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN THE REAR GEAR, CAUSING A MINOR ACCIDENT. I WAS NOT SURE IT WAS THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION BUT THEN IT HAD TWO MORE CASES OF SUDDEN FORWARD ACCELERATION THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKEBUT CAN BE STOPPED BY SHIFTING THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL.

VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN 2013 BUT BY 2014 WAS ACTING UP AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM AS INITIAL REPAIR. A RECALL REPAIR THAT GOES BAD IN WITHIN 20,000 MILES IS NOT A GOOD REPAIR. WHEN ASKED TO REPAIR IT AGAIN KIA PUT IN THE WRONG PART I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK A 3RD TIME TO GET IT FIXED. THE TOTAL COST TO MY REPAIR WAS $679.45. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND THE ESC LIGHT WOULD GO ON,IT TOOK MULTIPLE TRIES TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT.

CONSTANT POOL OF OIL UNDER THE HOOD. (TO ME IT IS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT - I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S NEAR THE TRANSMISSION CASE AND ALSO TOLD IT'S NEAR THE INTAKE MANIFOLD).
