Hello! Welcome to JustAnswer. Thank you for contacting us for assistance with your Sedona. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'll be helping you today. I'm so sorry you are having this issue with your Sedona, I know it can be frustrating.
If the battery keeps dying most likely the alternator needs to be replaced because it isn't charging the battery. If you know the code number like P0--- I can be more accurate with my responses as far as what may be wrong, but I will say that the Sedona has an issue with the air intake boot ripping and causing problems, as well as the throttle position sensor going bad.

Ok, I would recommend replacing the throttle body.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
