I wish i knew you before i bought this 16 Kia Sedona SXL Automatic Van, with 44000 miles Scotty,
Its loud during startup and once ive driven it to work the engine sounds are calmer.
Going up and down the Parking building i hear whirring sounds that go on and off and is more recognizable when then car dips because in pothole or turning.
The smoke coming from the exhaust is white and doesnt smell like gasoline. Also when im at the traffic light with other cars, im the only one smoking.
Listening to you im about to just trade this in and bite the bullet with 6k in deficit for a used sienna at the dealer.
The question remains is Does the coolant tank become empty as the coolant is sucked into the engine and exisiting out the tail pipe ? Hopefull it is not but just asking if you have checked the cooant tank level yourself.
I have checked the coolant reservoir, its on low at the start and fills to full when the engine is warmed up.
okay that is indeed GOOD NEWS! Just check coolant periodically to be sure. Also to be sure check the oil level as well.
Looked up to see if their are complaints about your car....not many as compared to others....check it out anyways.

But in the end..if you are unhappy it may be best to sell this vehicle as the only way to determine the faults you descibe would be to take to a garage and ask for an diagnosis of the items you have experienced.
For peace of your mind, test the head gasket leak with the kit. Check out this video:
