In 2012, Kia Sedona owners could experience issues with their alternator after using electric features like lights and air conditioning. A weak alternator might lead to problems with starting the vehicle. Kia had to introduce a new alternator to address the issue of insufficient battery charging. The alternator is important for providing power to the spark plugs, which ignite the fuel in the engine. If the alternator is failing, it can result in weak spark plugs, making it difficult to start or keep the car running. The failure of the alternator is often caused by bad diodes, which are part of the rectifier assembly converting the alternator's AC output to DC.
