2022 KIA CARNIVAL Complaints

The power sliding door does not reverse or stop closing if something is in the way. Our child closed his arm in the door and it would not stop.

The rear turn signals are too low and small in the vehicle and people are unable to notice it. Almost ended up in crash few times.

The windshield cracked while driving. Nothing hit it, it just cracked. Was 8inches long and now covers half the windshield. Obvious defect in the windshield. It is availability to see or I can take a picture. Safety is compromised by a cracked windshield that could get worse and hurt us. It has not been inspected and no warning lights went off

The rear side passenger window busted from the bottom. Only top half of window remained while driving down the road. No warnings. I only knew this was possible with car due to Facebook group and others having this happen to them. Big bomb sound no one else on road car is 2022 bought September 2021. Handling its 3rd winter in the state we got it.

The air conditioning system is leaking water in the trunk of the car. It has caused mold to grow on the trunk cloth lining and the air filter in the rear panel was completely covered in mold. There was a visible stream of water pouring out from this filter housing when I removed the wall panel where the tire jack is. I had always noticed puddles of water under the vehicle during the summer, but the leak is coming from inside the vehicle, not off an exhaust pipe like I expected.

The right passenger sliding door failed to sense my daughter’s hand and it crushed her ring finger causing a cut, bleeding, and bruising. She is in a lot of pain from the injury and now terrified the door will malfunction again causing another injury. We don’t think this vehicle is safe to drive with our family anymore. Yes it’s available for inspection. Since it’s a holiday weekend I’ll have to wait until the nearest dealership is open to have it inspected. We were able to reproduce this failure ourselves. There was no warning.

Door took waaaaayyy too much pressure to stop it from closing The recall before literally added beeping noises but it NEEDS more sensitive sensors this is ridiculous

The contact owns a 2022 Kia Carnival. The contact stated that both the driver's side and passenger side electronic sliding door had malfunctioned and would erroneously open and close. The contact indicated that while the daughter was retrieving items from the vehicle the passenger electronic side sliding door erroneously closed on her daughter and causing minor injuries to the arms and ribs which did not require medical treatment. The vehicle was later the taken to the dealer and serviced under a manufacturer's campaign to reprogram the door sensors. The door sensors were reprogrammed but the failures continued to occur. The contact indicated that after the door sensors were reprogrammed the doors would randomly open and close while the vehicle was turned off. The cause of the failure has not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 705.
