I have lurked for months now reading other reviews and asking a few questions here and there. Due to credit =/ we were very limited on choices. Saturday we came home with a '07 Kia Sedona with 53k miles the basic model (I dont know if theres others) now there were some scratches on the bumper and even a dent in the rear bumper that has a hasty paint job the dealer would have repaired it but because we didnt have money to put down and we were able to talk them down on the monthly payment by $50 with $0 down if we took the van as is. Ill live with the dent =) Its only been 2 days and I am having panic attacks! There is no trunk space grrrr... But anyhow the van drove and rode perfect on the 2 hour drive home! Yesterday on our way to church we normally go a less traveled route which has many stop signs, I noticed at each stop my brakes were being pushed all the way down so I started testing the brakes at each stop sign the speed limit is 35 on this business road we were on so there was no traffic on a sunday I took one stop sign at 40 mph and applied the brakes half way and slid most of the way after 3 stop signs I could smell the brakes CRAP! So yeah I need new brakes since I bought it as is =/ I can not drive the 2 hours plus this week to Chicago due to work and kids school. Oh AND we are driving from Indiana to Disney NEXT Weekend!! Talk me out of this panic attack. We havent had a car payment in a few years but I started fulltime 1 month ago to help with bills and I dont want to be stuck with a dud. Just get the brakes fixed (my uncle can replace them) and calm down? Sorry for the long rant I needed to get it out. Did I make the best decision we could have continued to drive my husbands old 1998 Chevy Silverado quad and rented a van for the vacation until we could get something different. OR have went with the Chevy Uplander 07, Caravan 07, or an older van with high miles.
