2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILURE. POWER DOOR HAS BEEN SPOTTY WORKING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ON A VEHICLE WITH 25K MILES AND IS 2 YEARS OLD. WILL NOT OPEN PROPERLY, WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. *TR

POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILURE THE POWER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND SHUT AUTOMATICALLY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN MANUALLY. MY SERVICE DEALER MENTIONED THESE DOORS HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS. *TR

ISSUE: MALFUNCTIONING PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE DOOR OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT SHUT PROPERLY WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR (WHILE IN THE POWER MODE). THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO REPLACE A COMPUTER MODULE ON ONE VISIT AND THE LATCH ASSEMBLY ON ANOTHER VISIT. THE FIRST VISIT THEY INDICATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING. PLEASE HELP. IT IS OF REAL CONCERN TO MY FAMILY BECAUSE OUR 20 MONTH OLD SON RIDES IN THAT SEAT. WE SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

1. DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE PURCHASE. ALSO HAPPENS ON OCCASION WITH PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. HERCULEAN EFFORT NEEDED TO OPEN THEM. VERY RISKY IN EMERGENCY SITUATION. 2. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FAILURE. IN REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES AT 47,000 MILES (10-25-08) , THE VALVE STEMS CONTAINING THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WERE NOT REMOVABLE WITHOUT TREMENDOUS EFFORT. ONCE REINSERTED, THE VALVES PROCEEDED TO FLATTEN ONE OF OUR NEW TIRES AND SERIOUSLY REDUCE INFLATION IN ANOTHER. RESULT: NEED ANOTHER NEW TIRE AND REPLACEMENT OF VALVE STEMS. *TR

THE ENTOURAGE BEGAN RUNNING LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL, JERKING, HESITATING, ETC. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID THE OIL WAS THE ISSUE. OIL CHANGE AND FLUSH. 1 WEEK LATER BEGAN WITH ISSUES AGAIN, DEALER REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT. WENT TO OUTSIDE MECHANIC SAID MISFIRE CODE WAS BAD COIL. CHANGED, 1 WEEK LATE SYMPTOMS RECURRED. HYUNDAI DEALER STILL REFUSED TO LOOK STATING IT WAS AN OIL ISSUE. WENT BACK TO SAME MECHANIC DIAGNOSED SAME MISFIRE CODE AND THEN SAID A SECOND CAME UP AND WAS THE PMC WAS CORRUPTED. *TR

MY 2007 ENTOURAGE LIMITED HAS SEVERAL QUALITY DEFICIENCY ISSUES AND RECURRING MAINTENANCE ISSUES. THE REAR SLIDING DOORS (BOTH) HAVE BEEN WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES, YET THEY CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION, I.E COME UNDONE/RE-OPEN, NOT FULLY LATCH, AND CONSISTENTLY BEEP AS A NOTICE OF FAILURE. THIS IS WHERE MY BABIES SIT, BOTH OF THEM. THE DVD SCREEN HAS BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE IT QUIT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VAN SHIMMIES OR RATTLES AT SPEED AROUND 70 MPH. IT CAUSES THE CENTER CONSOLE TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY. THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED ON A SPECIAL WHEEL BALANCER BUT THIS ONLY REDUCED THE PROBLEM. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM HAS HAD MALFUNCTIONS MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS A WHINE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED, THE ALTERNATOR IS CREATING A WHINE OVER THE STEREO SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY(REALLY ANNOYING), THE SIDE MIRRORS HAVE BOTH HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REVERSE/ANGLE FUNCTION WHERE THE MIRRORS' MOTOR FAILS TO RETURN THE MIRROR TO ITS USER PRESET SETTING WHEN TRANSMISSION IS PLACED OUT OF REVERSE(DRIVERS SIDE) OR FAILS TO TILT THE SPECIFIED DEGREE IN REVERSE(PASSENGER SIDE). THE ROOF LEAKED WHEN THE VAN WAS COMPLETELY SHUT AND HAD TO BE RESEALED BY A SPECIALIST TO CORRECT AN EXISTING DEFICIENCY, THE SEAL AROUND THE GLASS FOR THE SUNROOF IS DEGRADING AND CRACKING. THE SLIDING REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS A CRIMPED WINDOW CHANNEL SEAL. THIS SHOP ALSO STATED THAT THEY "HAD NOT SEEN ONE OF THESE [ENTOURAGE] VANS WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS". THE DOOR HANDLES AND REAR HIGH MOUNT STOP LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE PACKING/SHIPPING POLY WRAP RUINING THE CHROME AND PLASTIC LENS. THE GASKET FOR THE HIGH MOUNT STOP LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED LATER DUE TO WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIAL QUALITY. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED/FAILED (1/2" CHUNK OF THE WINDSHIELD) WHEN MY WIFE ADJUSTED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE IDLER PULLEY HAS BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE THE BEARING FAILED. STRIPPING AROUND THE SLIDING DOORS ARE FADING ALREADY AND YELLOWING. MORE NOT ENOUGH SPACE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE IN WHICH THE SEAT BELTS CONSISTENTLY LOCK UP AND CHOKE THE PASSENGERS. THEY LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, NOT WHILE STOPPING. THE DEALER AND CORPORATE OFFICES CLAIM THIS IS NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR THE VEHICLE. THEY LOCK UP AND DO NOT RELEASE UNLESS THE SEAT BELT IS UNFASTENED WHICH IS UNSAFE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BUT NEEDS TO BE DONE OR CAUSE INJURY. *TR

AFTER 23K MILES OF USE, THESE TIRES HAVE VIRTUALLY NO TREAD LEFT. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE PURCHASE AND THE TIRES CAME STOCK AS PART OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN CONSCIENTIOUS IN ROTATING THE TIRES AND ENSURING THAT THE TIRES HAVE PROPER INFLATION. *TR

BRAND NEW 2007 KIA SEDONA EX. VARIOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WOULD FAIL TO WORK SPORADICALLY. THE ISSUE STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING BOUGHT THE CAR. AFTER NOT DRIVING CAR FOR THREE DAYS, CAR WOULD NOT START. WOULD JUMP THE CAR AND IT WOULD HOLD THE CHARGE FOR TWO DAYS, THEN DIE. THEN IT WOULD HOLD THE CHARGE FOR ONE DAY AND DIE. TOOK THE CAR INTO HYUNDAI ON 7/14 BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL IN THE ROOF HAVING A LEAK. HYUNDAI ORDERED A PART BUT IT'S BEEN OVER THREE WEEKS AND IT HASN'T ARRIVED. *TR
