Consumer stated he experienced premature tire wear. He stated he was only getting 18,000 miles from a set of tires. He stated his first set of tires were the original ones and they wore out at about 18,000. Now he has sigma 15 rims and now they are wearing out at about the same amount of mileage.

The accelerator pedal and brake pedal were too close together and vehicle rides rough.

Our Sedona has been pulling since we first bought it. First to the left, then to the right, then nothing, no pull. Been aligned twice. Also been told I take my hands off unevenly which causes to pull, also that I don't know how to keep correct tire pressure in. The car pulls heavily. One way or the other. Scared to drive. Also brakes vibrate car badly when braking from high to low speed especially on a downhill. Have contacted the BBB auto line. I believe the car is extremely unsafe and I can not stand driving this thing. It is a two hour drive to my Kia dealer and I have been there a lot. **dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768313
