2016 KIA SEDONA Complaints

BOTH OF THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY 2016 KIA SEDONA DO NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY WHEN USED IN AUTOMATIC MODE. THEY DO NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND THE "DOOR OPEN" LIGHT AS WELL AS ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINS ON. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PUSH THE DOOR SHUT IN ORDER FOR IT TO LATCH. THE DOOR ALSO MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE. THIS OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY AND ON ANY TYPE OF GROUND (FLAT, HILL, ETC) ONE DOOR WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER BUT THE SECOND DOOR STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, UNFORTUNATELY.

WE PURCHASED BRAND NEW A 2016 KIA SEDONA FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WITHIN THE 2 YEARS WE OWNED IT WE HAD TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON, OR WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ONE AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEY FOUND IT TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THEY REPAIRED IT THE FIRST THREE TIMES AND THE LIGHT WOULD STAY OFF FOR A WHILE. THE FOURTH TIME WE TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE WHOLE SEAT TO SEE IF THAT HELPED. WE DECIDED THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO RISK IT HAPPENING AGAIN AS THE VAN WAS LESS THAN 2,000 MILES FROM BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. SO, WE TRADED IT IN FOR A 2018 KIA SEDONA WHICH NOW, AT 1400 MILES, HAS THE SAME ISSUE! WE HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT IN TWICE TO THE HAVE ISSUE REPAIRED. WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE?

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT WORK. YOU MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT LIGKE YOU ARE TURNING AND IT WILL WORK. OR HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LEFT TURN SIGNAL AT NIGHT TIME AND WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL GOES OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. VERY HIGHLY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. THEY DO NOT SHINE OUT FAR ENOUGH EXSPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THEY ARE POINTING DOWN TO EARLY. TRIED ADJUSTING NO HELP. ALSO TRIED LES HEADLIGHTS HELPED A LITTLE BUT NOTHING TO REALLY SATISFY THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE TRAVELING.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS ALL GO OUT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN THEY COME BACK ON. THIS COULD HAPPEN 1-3 TIMES OF DRIVING.

MY 2016 KIA SEDONA LX IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SLIDING DOORS NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS WORKED ON WHEN WE BOUGHT IT BUT IT HAS REVERTED TO NOT LOCKING ONCE CLOSED EVERY TIME WE CLOSE IT. THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS STILL RANDOM. IT'S ONLY WHEN WE HAVE THEM OPENING/CLOSING WITH THE POWER OPTION. WHEN THE POWER OPTION IS TURNED OFF AND WE MANUALLY OPEN/SHUT THE DOORS, THEY DO LATCH AND THERE IS NO ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING GOING WESTBOUND ON HIGHWAY 84 IN PENNSYLVANIA AND HIT A DEER GOING 65MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WALKED OUT TO THE MILE MARKER AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND MY CAR WAS ON FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. EVENTUALLY MY CAR BLEW UP AND I LOST EVERYTHING.

CENTER SEAT BELT IN THE MIDDLE BACK ROW WHICH PULLS DOWN FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE FAILED WHEN MAKING A QUICK STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ANOTHER CAR IMPROPERLY CHANGING LANES INTO OUR LANE. SPEED OF TRAVEL WAS 45MPH ON THE STRAIGHT AWAY ON A CITY STREET. THE PASSENGER'S HEAD WAS AIMING FOR THE CENTER CONSOLE AND WAS BUFFERED BY THE PASSENGER EXTENDING HIS HANDS TO NOT HIT THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE SEAT BELT APPEARS TO BE WORKING NOW, BUT WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY OR IF THE OTHERS MAY ALSO WORK INTERMITTENTLY IN THE FUTURE.
