Hyundai Entourage problems
The Kia Carnival (Korean: 기아 카니발) is a minivan manufactured by Kia since 1998. It was marketed globally under various nameplates, prominently as the Kia Sedona.
The first generation Carnival was introduced in January 1998, and was marketed in a single, short wheelbase version. Second generation models were marketed (2006–2014) in short and long wheelbase variants. A rebadged variant of the second generation was offered in North America as the Hyundai Entourage (2007–2009). Beginning in 2010, the second generation model received updated equipment, including Kia's corporate Tiger Nose grille, as introduced by its then new design chief, Peter Schreyer. Kia introduced its third generation minivan in 2014, solely in a long wheelbase format. The fourth generation was introduced in 2020, when Kia also began using the Carnival nameplate worldwide.
First generation (KV-II; 1998)
The first generation model was manufactured and marketed differently for specific regions, including under a joint venture in the Chinese market with Dongfeng Yueda Kia, as well as the Naza Ria in Malaysia.
In Indonesia and the Philippines, both Carnival/Sedona names were used. Initially introduced as the Carnival in 2001, from 2003 onwards, it was renamed as the Sedona.

Vehicle year: 2008
I've had my van for 5 years and I still love it like it was the first day I got it. Even though I didn't really want a van, the family needed one and I'm so glad we got it. It's so spacious that 7 people can fit comfortably and it drives so smoothly. It doesn't feel like I'm stuck driving a van. The kids love the DVD and I love the sliding doors!

As a parent of three young children, I understand the struggle of finding the perfect family car. After test driving multiple vans, I can confidently say that the Entourage is the best value and safest option out there. Not only is it solidly built, but its unique and stylish design still catches my eye. Inside, it's easy to move around and incredibly comfortable for both passengers and drivers. Even after driving 10K miles in 3 months of Vermont weather, we have no complaints. As a Hyundai Santa Fe owner, I'm excited to see how the Entourage compares in the snow. While the Kia Sedona is a close competitor, the Entourage's interior and exterior design make it the clear winner in my book.

Excellent vehicle! This vehicle has the feel, ride and quality of a luxury vehicle. I am extremely impressed with the handling and the driveability of the Entourage. Much more advertising needs to be done on this car! American made cars need to take a lesson in quality from Hyundai.

We purchased our 2008 Entourage a few weeks ago and we absolutely love it! The ride is so smooth and the space inside is incredibly roomy. Although the fuel mileage could be better, we are still very happy with our purchase and would definitely recommend it over the 34k Honda Odyssey!

Just wanted to give a quick update on my experience with the Entourage SE after 6 months of ownership. Unfortunately, we have been experiencing periodic check engine light issues, but we have found a simple solution in checking the tightness of the gas cap as suggested in the owner's manual. Despite this minor inconvenience, the van has been absolutely fantastic overall. The kids are thrilled with the DVD player and the power windows on the sliding doors, while my wife and I are enjoying the heated seats as winter approaches. Personally, I am impressed with the horsepower and smooth ride, as well as the helpful backup warning sensor. Thank you for such a great product!
Are you having problems with your Hyundai Entourage?

We have been enjoying our Entourage for over a year now and are very pleased with its spaciousness and comfort, especially as a family with 5 children. The deep well in the rear is a great feature for grocery shopping day and the two side auto doors are incredibly helpful. While we have noticed that the gas mileage is not ideal at 17 mpg on the highway, we still find the van to be a great fit for our needs. One minor issue we have encountered is that gas sometimes spills out when the tank is full, but we have learned to be careful. Overall, we are happy with our purchase!

We have a 2007 Entourage and unfortunately, we have been experiencing some issues with the A/C. It tends to make a clunking noise when the engine is first started, which is not something you would expect from a new van that costs $28,000. After having the A/C replaced twice, Hyundai informed us that this is a normal occurrence in all Entourages. While we were disappointed with this response, we understand that sometimes these things happen. On the other hand, we also own a 2006 KIA Sorento (Hyundai's sister company) which has 17,000 more miles on it than the Entourage, and we have to say that the KIA rides, drives and sounds better than the Hyundai. It's unfortunate that the Entourage has this issue, but we still appreciate the overall quality of Hyundai's products. By the way, did I mention that it sounds like a tank when it's cold?

On June 6th, I purchased a car which unfortunately had some issues. Despite my initial disappointment, I took it back to the dealer the same day to have it fixed. However, the steering wheel continued to vibrate even after the tires were balanced and replaced. The dealer tried several solutions over the next two months, as directed by Hyundai, but the issue persisted. After some investigation, the dealer's mechanic found excessive play in the hub and installed a new hub assembly on the passenger side. Although the shaking stopped for a brief period, it eventually returned. The dealer then tried tightening the bolt on the hub and polishing the rotor, but these attempts were unsuccessful. Currently, they are in the process of replacing the driver's side hub. Despite these setbacks, I have taken action by filing a LEMON LAW Claim against Hyundai. The dealer has had my vehicle for 45 days, but I remain confident that the issue will be resolved soon.

I purchased this van in December 2006 with only 11,000 miles on it. It was previously used as a Factory Reps vehicle. I chose Hyundai due to my positive experiences with the Elantra and Sonata. While this van competes well with Toyota and Honda in terms of design and function, it falls short in terms of owner satisfaction. In my opinion, the biggest issue with this van is the dealership's service. Unfortunately, Hyundai dealerships remind me of the domestic dealerships from the past, where they focus more on selling than on service. It's frustrating to continuously bring a vehicle in for the same issue and be told that they don't know what's wrong with it. However, I must say that they have fixed everything except for the whine in the right rear speaker.

We have a 2007 Entourage and unfortunately, we have been experiencing some issues with the A/C. It tends to make a clunking noise when the engine is first started, which is not something you would expect from a new van that costs $28,000. After having the A/C replaced twice, Hyundai informed us that this is a normal occurrence in all Entourages. While we were disappointed with this response, we understand that sometimes these things happen. On the other hand, we also own a 2006 KIA Sorento (Hyundai's sister company) which has 17,000 more miles on it than the Entourage, and we have found that it rides, drives and sounds better than the Hyundai. It's worth noting that the Entourage can sound a bit like a tank when it's cold, but overall we are still satisfied with our purchase.
