The paint is chipping on the entire vehicle exterior. I have searched online and this seems to be a common problem. The vehicle is a 2017, which is way too quick for the paint to be chipping off.
The driver side sliding door will not open all the way and gets stuck even when the power door is not engaged. The passenger side sliding door often gets stuck and will not release when the power door button is pushed.
I was driving my 2015 Kia Sedona and the airbags imploded out of nowhere, I was not hurt thank god. But my front of my car got damaged and so did the air bags and my steering wheel and all that got broken. I am writing to see if I can be reimbursed as I have fix these issues but I believe they hav to do with a recall Kia has. I spent a lot of money fixing it so I would like to get reimbured as I paid outa pocket for something that was a recall and a safety problem and could have been avoided. Please help me
Power Door (passenger side) closed on me when other door was opened. As I was putting a child into the passenger side middle row seat the passenger side sliding door closed on its own. (The door on the other side of van was opened at the same time the one began to close.) It did not stop when it it my body and kept closing. I tried pushing on the door to stop it from continuing to close but it didn’t stop. My husband reached to push the button to open it back up. I had bruise on my arm and cut on my thigh from the door attempting to close on me.
The left side sliding door does not completely latch when closing. I have looked for obstruction and do not see any. I and my children are very concerned that we will not completely shut the door thus causing it to open when in transit or turning resulting in an unnecessary accident, injury or fatality. Whomever is driving the car has to stand outside and push the sliding door inward as it is latching to attempt to make sur the latch is secure. Please let me know what I need to do to ensure this is addressed with the the NHTSA and/ or KIA.
The rear turn signal fill up with water and burn out the bulbs
The contact owns a 2017 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that the driver's side sliding door failed to open. There was an abnormal clicking noise detected. The left turn signal failed to work intermittently. Additionally, the left signal would turn on randomly to the right turn signal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the door motor needed to be replaced. The aftermarket hitch was causing the failure for the turn signal. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to another dealer. The failure mileage was 32,000.

THE SIZE DOOR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND WILL NOT OPEN SOMETIMES. IT DOES THE SAME WHEN I TRY TO CLOSE IT. ON AVERAGE IT IS ABOUT 50/50 AND I AM CONCERNED THAT #1 IT WILL NOT SHUT ONE DAY WHEN WE NEED TO DRIVE IT, AND #2 SINCE THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY WHAT IF IT DOES NOT STOP IF SOMEONE IS IN THE WAY OF IT? THIS OF COURSE HAPPENS WHEN THE VAN IS STATIONARY. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AND I NOTICED IT FIRST AT ABOUT 40K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
SLIDING DOORS HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND OPENING WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND MOVING THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR DOES NOT STOP IF THERE IS SOMETHING THERE. SLIDING DOORS FAILED TO CLOSE.
DURING VERY COLD WEATHER, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE
