2016 KIA SEDONA Complaints

OUR VEHICLE HAS THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY LIGHT, ABS, LIGHT ON. IT OVER HEATS IF SITTING STILL. THE COOLING FAN IS NOT WORKING REPLACED THE FUSE RELAY. FOR THE COOLING FAN, STILL NO COOLING FAN. CONSTANTLY FILLING THE COOLANT. IT SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL BUT I DECIDED TO WAIT FOR A PRO TO SEE IF IT IS RECALL RELATED. WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON WHILE THE VAN WAS IN MOTION 55 MPH, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND WENT OFF THREE TIMES FOR STAYING ON. " ABS,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THIS IS WHEN THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM STARTED WHILE IDLING.

I HAVE NEEDED TO HAVE THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR MOTORS REPLACED (ONCE IN 2018, CURRENTLY WORKING ON IT A SECOND TIME 2019) AS THE DOORS WOULD NOT FULLY LATCH. THEY WOULD CLOSE INTO POSITION IN THE FRONT LATCH BUT WOULD NOT PULL COMPLETELY SHUT IN THE BACK PART OF THE DOOR. ONCE THE DOOR IS PUSHED SHUT, IT STAYS SHUT, BUT YOU NEED TO PUSH IT TO CLOSE IT. I HAVE A VIDEO BUT I CANNOT UPLOAD IT.

THE PASSENGER MOTORIZED SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT ALWAY LATCH CLOSED. THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY TO REPAIR BUT NO RECALL. VEHICLE FAILING TO LATCH COULD CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE IN MOTION.

SIGNAL LIGHTS DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK WHEN THEY TURNED ON. IN SOME INSTANCES IF I TURN SIGNAL ON TO GO RIGHT, LEFT SIGNAL LIGHT COMES ON. HEADLIGHTS CAN ALSO TURN OFF UPON TURNING ON SIGNAL LIGHTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE REAR DOORS UNLOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE RADIO SHORTED IN AND OUT. CENTURY KIA OF TAMPA (4340 W HILLSBOROUGH AVE, TAMPA, FL 33614, (844) 757-2536) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE TO RECEIVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS USING MY BLUETOOTH AND MY RADIO AND BLUE TOOTH STOPPED WORKING. IT SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. WHEN I TRIED TALKING THE PEOPLE ON THE PHONE COULD NOT HEAR ME AND I COULD NOT HEAR THEM. WHEN I SHUT OFF THE BLUETOOTH THE PERSON COULD HEAR ME AND I COULD HEAR THEM. IF I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT STARTED WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY, AND AT NIGHT. TWO THINGS, ONE THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT ENGAGE, YOU'LL PUSH THE STALK UP/DOWN TO INDICATE A LEFT OR RIGHT-HAND TURN, AND THE EXTERNAL SIGNALS DO NOT LIGHT. EITHER TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR PUSHING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK BACK TO THE CENTER POSITION AND THEN PUSHING THE STALK BACK TO THE DESIRED LEFT/RIGHT INDICATOR. ALSO AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES. YOU USUAULLY HAVE TO RAPIDLY WORK THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON THE END OF THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, AND KIA REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION FROM UNDER THE HOOD ACCOMPANIED BY A GUSH OF OIL FROM UNDER THE CAR. THE CAR DID NOT CATCH FIRE BUT THERE WERE SPARKS. THE OIL THAT SPILLED FROM UNDER THE CAR CAUSED THE CAR TO SLIP OUT OF CONTROL.

A FEW MONTHS BACK I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM. I WAS BEING TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE AND BATTERY TWICE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S THE PCM COMPUTER. THEY GOT A PCM AND REPLACED IT CHARGED AND WORKED FINE RIGHT AFTER BUT THE NEXT DAY IT CONTINUED TO HAVE CHARGING ISSUES. THERE HAVING TO RE ORDER ANOTHER NEW PCM. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. WE ARE FIXING THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE SHOWING UP AS BEING WRONG AND IT IS NOT WORKING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.. THERE'S MORE GOING ON HERE. EXATREMLY UNHAPPY BEING THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD (PROBLEM STARTED IN JANUARY)

MY MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY STOPPED PROJECTING. IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO SEE THE BACKUP CAMERA WHEN IN REVERSE. RESTARTING DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY KIA AS A FAULTY SYSTEM. WARRANTY ONLY COVERED IT UNTIL 36,000 MILES AND I'M AT 44,000. IT'S UNSAFE TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE BEHIND ME DUE TO THE LARGE STATURE OF MY VEHICLE. ALSO COULDN'T CONTROL BLUETOOTH OR PHONE CONNECTION TO ALLOW ME CONTACT TO SAFETY PERSONNEL UNLESS I WAS UNSAFE BY USING MY PHONE.
