2016 Kia Sedona complaints

Oil sending unit failed after 100k miles. Had it not been a quick trip, I could have easily ran it dry and stalled the motor. No warning was given. There are many reports of this happening with other models and years of Kia V6's.

Our Kia Sedona van was stolen on the overnight hours of 10/18/2021 from our driveway. This has been a rampant issue in our area because, it seems, certain model year Kia vehicles have a vulnerability that makes it easy to steal in just a few minutes. Because of this theft, we were without a secondary vehicle until 11/8/2021 and we had to pay out of pocket for a rental during much of that time (once we realized we couldn't get by with just one vehicle). In order to minimize our losses, we purchased a used vehicle with similar mileage and year, but we were still out over $1500 and many hours of our time to deal with all of the issues that arose because of this. These particular vehicles NEED to be recalled and retrofitted with some sort of security, as thousands of families have had to deal with similar issues as us.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the headlights would turn off without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the headlights regained functionality however, shortly thereafter the vehicle lost headlight functionality again. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer to be inspected. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 136,758.

The airbag light would come on and go off randomly while driving. We took it to the dealer several times. I believe repairs were made twice and within days it happened again. The other times it was taken into the dealer, the problem could not be replicated as the light would randomly come on/blink. The airbag light stays on all the time now. I've been told it is dangerous to drive the vehicle while the light is on because the airbags will not deploy should the vehicle get in an accident. The passenger side seatbelt like blinks constantly now whether there is a passenger in the front seat or not. I've been told by Kia that the warranty has expired and any cost associated with the repair of the airbag and seatbelt sensor will be our responsibility. This was an ongoing problem well before the warranty expired.

The rear passenger sliding door will open and close on it's own while moving and the only way to close completely is to close from the outside while pushing it closed. When using the button in the back it will close then open right up again and make a loud noise. The button above the windshield in from will cause it to close then open back up too while making a loud noise. It has to be closed from the outside by pushing on the door. There is nothing obstructing the door either. This VIN number was not part of the recall according to the nhtsa website. This has been ongoing for years, so there is no specific dates

On September 28, 2021 we found out the hard way that our minivan's gear shift could be moved from the parked position to reverse, neutral and forward without having the car turned on and without needing to have a foot pressed on the break. While the car was parked (off) on our home's driveway, my three year old and his brother were in the car getting ready to drive to school and my wife was at the door of our house waiting for our other son to come out. In the interim our three year old son got his hands on the shifter and without much effort was able to move the shifter out if the parked position. As a result the van rolled down the driveway with two of my children in it. The vehicle ended up on the street where there was incoming traffic. If it weren't because the car hit the fence, other cars would probably not have stopped and it could have been a worse incident. I've reported incident to Kia on 9/29/21 and was referred to the corporate department. To date 10/14/21 we have yet to get a resolution from Kia and address the incident. They assigned a representative who has yet to provide any concrete guidance and support. My car is not road safe to drive and now I'm left without a family car and traumatized children from this event. I've tested moving the shift gear myself and indeed it moves without having the car on or pressing the break. There were no warning lamps in the car to alert of an issue. The car is at an autoshop pending Kia's inspection but Kia has yet to inspec

My husband took the car for an oil change and the mechanic said he heard a noise in the engine. They did the oil change and advised to have it checked out. On the way home, while driving, the car stalled, thankfully in the neighborhood and not on the highway. An issue with the battery or oil change were suspected. We had the car towed to Kia who confirmed that there was no issue with the oil change, the location used for the oil change had done everything correctly. Also, the battery was good. They said the engine seized but could not say why, that we would have to pay them $900 to take the engine apart to find the issue. After research, the very same issues are found with several other Kia and Hyundai models, for example, Kia Sorento. I would like to report this, as it is extremely dangerous to stall in traffic. Also, we still owe $8,000 on the car, we bough it used in February 2020. The car has 118k miles.

The mud flaps on both front wheels they are starting to pop out and they rub against the tire i hear it really loud when I turn.

There are two issues I believe both are connected. Number 1. Sometimes when I put on the left blinker either nothing happens at all or the wrong blinker (right side) will go on instead of the left. Number 2. Sometimes when I put on my left blinker the headlights will turn off. It can be really scary when this happens on a dark highway at night.

The problem is the multi function switch. In the AUTO mode, the head lights go off randomly. This is a super dangerous at night. Also, when the left turn signal is activated, sometimes the flasher doesn't work and you have to jiggle it or turn it off and on again and sometimes the right flasher goes on. The dealer service could not confirm the problem and did nothing. These problems happen at random times and have been ongoing for about 18 months.

Malfunctioning indicator stalk/switch. Left blinker either won't function or will cause right blinker to indicate. Dangerous because creates confusion to other drivers and is a distraction.

The passenger-side door from day one of purchasing the kia sedon LX doesn't shut properly. When using the button to close the door, the door will shut and then slightly ajar. The car dash will then tell me that not all doors are secure. I have contacted KIA several times. They have replaced the motor first and this didn't fix the issue so they replaced the latches. This also didn't fix the issue. Unless I turn off the power doors and manually shut the doors myself the problem still persists.

Frequently, the turn signal will blink on the right when the turn signal switch is set to the left. This is a safety concern for myself and other drivers as they will expect the vehicle to go to the right when it is actually going to the left. I had this repaired at a dealership. This had been an issue for about a year, when I finally had it repaired.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving at low speeds, while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the battery post shim needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Door grinds and will not shut properly. Gadgets say it’s shut but then once driving it beeps and does not turn off until you stop. So I do not know whether it is actually shut or not. Many forums say this is a known issue with Kia cars.

The contact owned a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he felt the vehicle was bumping and thought there was a flat tire. The ESP fault and low tire pressure warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over and turned off the vehicle to check the rear passenger tire. While the contact was on the phone with roadside assistance, he noticed there was smoke coming from under the hood then there were flames coming from under the hood. A police report was filed. No medical attention was received. The contact was unaware if the fire department extinguished the fire since he got transported by a bystander to her residence nearby. The vehicle was towed to a towing lot. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 mph and while making a left turn, the vehicle made slight contact with a second vehicle. While viewing the second vehicle's video dashcam it was discovered that the driver's side rear signal light did not illuminate. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that water had leaked into the rear light housing and the bulb was submerged in water causing the bulb to become inoperable. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. During the crash, no injuries were reported and a police report was taken at the scene. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 104,000.

TURN LIGHTS AND STICK SIGNALS MOST THE TIME DO NOT WORK APPROPRIATELY I TURN ON TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT SIDE COME ON SOME TIMES NOTHING HAPPENS SOME TIMES I TRY TO USE TO DE LEFT AND THE FOURTH WAY HAZARD COME ON. I REALLY SCARE TO HAVE A CRASH BECAUSE I SEND THE WRONG SIGNAL OR GET A TICKET

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. MUST PUSH ON BACK SIDE FOR IT TO CLOSE. BLINKERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY. PUT ON LEFT BLINKER AND RIGHT BLINKER TURNS ON. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL WORK CORRECTLY. I HAD THE DOOR RECALL FIXED AND THE SERVICE PERSON THOUGHT IT WOULD FIX ALL THE PROBLEMS BUT IT DID NOT. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. ONLY THE TOP BRAKE LIGHT WORKS ON THE WINDOW.

LEFT TURN SIGNAL FAILS TO ACTIVATE. LEFT TURN SIGNAL ACTIVES RIGHT TURN INDICATOR. LEFT TURN SIGNAL STARTS TO ACTIVATE THEN FAILS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO INDICATE TURNING INTENTION. VEHICLE IN MOTION, ALL SPEEDS. VEHICLE STOPPED STATIONARY. ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. ONGOING. STARTED 18 MONTHS AGO, INTERMITTENTLY. NOW PERMANENT.

ABOUT 1917 THE POWER SLIDING DOORS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DOORS MAKE A LOUD SCREACHING SOUND WHEN CLOSING WHEN STOPPED. & IN MOTION. DOORS DO NOT CLOSE AND LOCK COMPLETELY AND HAVE TO BE CLOSE BY PUSHING IN THE BACK WHERE AND FRAM MEETS. GOT A RECALL ON SLIDING DOORS. WENT 3/22/21 AND ALL THAT WAS DONE WAS TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER. THIS DIDN T FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL. CALL KIA AND WAS TOLD , HAVE TO FIX ON OWN. DID CALL ABOUT ISSUE IN 2017 TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER $1000.00, COULDN'T AFFORD. ALSO ASKED ABOUT WHY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON AND THAT THE GAS DOOR BUTTON DOESN T OPEN. HAVE TO GET OUT AND HIT GAS DOOR TO OPEN. THOUGHT THAT 100000 WARRENTY WAS TO COVER ANYTHING BUMPER TO BUMPER. WHY PAY THE EXTRA FOR NOTHING.

WHEN SIGNALING LEFT SOMETIMES THE RIGHT BLINKER COMES ON IF AT ALL. TO MAKE IT SIGNAL LEFT YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE LEVER HARD DOWN TO GO LEFT. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE SIGNAL WILL GO FAST THEN NORMAL. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A TURN OR STATIONARY. IN ALL WEATHER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER 2020.

AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON THE DRIVERSIDE TAILLIGHT WILL GO OUT AND WILL CAUSE THE MIDDLE AND PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT TO STAY ON. IF I TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF THE MIDDLE AND PASSENGER TAILLIGHTS WORK ONLY WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDDLE.I HAVE REMOVED THE TAIL LIGHT AND CHECKED IT FOR BEING BURNED OUT, CORROSION OR BEING LOOSE AND IT IS FINE. I PUT THE BULB BACK IN AND THE DRIVERS SIDE TAILLIGHT WORKS FINE AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK AS NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME AND I CHECKED THE BULB. AGAIN NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I CHANGED THE BULB WITH A NEW ONE. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND NEW BULB IN THAT SOCKET. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR STANDING STILL WHILE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS ARE ON. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN DECEMBER 2020. IT IS WORRISOME AS YOU ARE DRIVING WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING IF YOU HAVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON WHEN IT RAINS DURING THE DAY OR WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL KNOW IT'S HAPPENING IS IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING.

WHEN YOU USE YOUR BLINKERS TO CHANGE LANES AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF TILL I MOVE THE BLINKER NOB BACK TO THE MIDDLE THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND IS DANGEROUS NEEDS TO RECALLED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING OCCASIONAL TIMES WHEN I WOULD TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED, I THOUGHT I MUST'VE TURNED ON THE WRONG SIGNAL AS IT HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY. NOW IT OCCURS OFTEN, WHERE ENGAGING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE, WITH IT SOMETIMES TURNING ON THE LEFT SIGNAL, SOMETIMES THE RIGHT SIGNAL, SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE SIGNALS, OR NO SIGNAL ENGAGING. WHEN ENGAGING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND COMPLETING A LEFT TURN, WHEN THE SIGNAL DISENGAGES, THE RIGHT SIGNAL WILL TURN ON AND FLASH SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT TURNING ON THE RIGHT SIGNAL. THIS MAKES FOR DANGEROUS LANE CHANGING AND TURNING AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT SIGNAL TURNS ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY WHEN AN ADULT IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AS IF THE VEHICLE THINKS A CHILD IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO KIA TO HAVE THEM FIX THIS, BUT THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS 3 YEARS OLD, AND WANTED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO EVEN LOOK AT IT, NOT INCLUDING FIXING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TURN SIGNALS IN THIS MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR, PARTICULARLY WITH THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL. HERE IS A LINK TO A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ANOTHER KIA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/IDXLNMXMHQY HERE IS A LINK TO A PAGE WHERE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PR

WHILE DRIVING WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNALS THE HEADLIGHTS WILL EITHER FLASH HIGH BEAMS OR COMPLETELY GO OUT THEN BACK ON. ALSO MY DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOESN'T SHUT COMPLETELY WITH THE POWER DOOR OPTION THIS JUST STARTED AROUND THE 100K MILE MARK.

THE DAYTIME AND HEADLIGHTS LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF RANDOMLY. (STARTED AROUND THE 100K MILEAGE). WHEN STATIONARY, THE SLIDING DOORS DO NOT SHUT CORRECTLY. 1ST THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGINS RATTLING LIKE CHANGE IS INSIDE THE DOOR. 2ND THEN THE DOOR BEGINS TAKING 2 TURNS TO CLOSE, AND THEN IT IS HIT OR MISS WHEN CLOSING. THE DOOR CLOSURE BUTTON WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT WORK, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS OFF AND PARKED. (STARTED AROUND THE 45000 MILEAGE). THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT CONNECTOR OCCASIONALLY INDICATES A FAULT ERROR. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT INDICATOR WILL TURN ON WHEN 5 POUNDS OR LESS IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. (STARTED AROUND THE 100K MILEAGE). MY BIGGEST CONCERN: SINCE I BELIEVE THE SIDE DOORS ARE FATAL ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN, I HAVE MY KIDS SIT IN THE 3RD ROW. ONLY ADULTS ARE ALLOWED TO SIT IN MY PASSENGER CAPTAIN CHAIRS. THE BLIND SPOT WARNING DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITH AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. RIVERCHASE KIA (2200 US-31, PELHAM, AL 35124, (205)987-6518) WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, INDICATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL SOME TIMES IT DOESN'T TURN ON AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE STALK DOWN AGAIN TO TURN IT ON. OR SOMETIMES IT FLASHES FAST THAN TURNS BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS AT COMING TO INTERSECTION MOVING OR STANDING STILL. ALSO NOTICED WATER IS ENTERING BOTH HOUSING FOR REAR LIGHTS. BUT THAT SHOULDN'T INTERFERE WITH ACTIVATING THE BLINKERS. MAYBE JUST THE REAR NOT THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN UNLIT ROAD BY HAROLD PARKER STATE FOREST, IN MASSACHUSETTS. MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT ( STOPPED WORKING ) AND NEVER CAME BACK ON. I USED MY HIGH BEAMS TO MAKE MY WAY HOME, MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE THINK THAT THE BULBS BURNT OUT, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I TESTED THE FUSE AND RELAY AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FIND, SO NOW I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL KIA DEALER TO INVESTIGATE. MY WIFE INFORMED ME THAT IS HAD HAPPENED TO HER EARLIER THE SAME WEEK, BUT SHE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HER EYES. THIS WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM GIVEN THE TIME OF NIGHT, THE INABILITY TO SEE WITHOUT BLINDING ON COMING TRAFFIC. I DID SOME LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER AND FOUND A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR WORSE, KILLED.

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDER DOOR HAS OPENED WHILE DRIVING, ENOUGH TO TURN ON INTERIOR LIGHTS AND CAN HEAR WIND NOISE TOWARD BACK OF DOOR. DASH INDICATION ALSO SHOWS OPEN.

BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. THE SLIDING DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTINUOUSLY WILL MAKE A GRINDING SOUND WHEN CLOSING AND THEN NOT LATCH. AFTER THIS THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR IS WITH THE BUTTON ON THE CEILING. I AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY. IT NOW HAPPENS EVERYTIME I CLOSE THE DOOR. I CAN SUBMIT A VIDEO.

THE POWER SLIDING DOORS WON'T LATCH AND ITS MOSTLY THE DRIVER SIDE. IT HAPPENS WHETHER WE ARE DRIVING OR PARKED.

THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR RANDOMLY FAILS TO ACTIVE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL. WHEN SIGNALING RIGHT IT ALWAYS WORKS, WHEN SIGNALING LEFT IT IS HIT OR MISS. IT HAS BECOME MORE OFTEN OVER THE LAST YEAR. THIS CREATES PROBLEM WHEN I SIGNAL LEFT AND START TO MOVE THEN REALIZE THE LEFT SIGNAL DID NOT COME ON I HAVE HAD TO JERK BACK INTO LANE TO AVOID ACCIDENT.

THE FEMALE PLUG ON THE AC PIGTAIL SWITCH THAT WORKS THE FRONT A/C FAN WAS DEFECTIVE. I REPLACED THE PLUG AND THE PIGTAIL. I THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE FEMALE PLUG WAS SHORTED OUT AND BURNED. IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 07072020. THE UNSAFE CONDITION WAS THE BURNED FEMALE PLUG WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DASH FIRE.

THE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR MOTOR SEEMS TO BE FAILING AND WILL NOT LATCH COMPLETELY WHICH CAUSES THE DOOR NOT TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY.

THE SIDE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE. WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR THIS BEFORE ABOUT 3 MONTHIS AGO AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE DOOR IS NOT OVER USED. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 43000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND ARE AFRAID FOR THEIR SAFTEY WITH A DOOR THAT DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. I FEEL IF IT WAS FIXED RIGHT THE FIRST TIME THERE WOULDN'T BE A REOCCURRING ISSUE. THANK YOU.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, HAD PLUGS REPLACED AND INJECTOR 6 REPLACED THE CODES READ P0278 AND P0306. P0278 STILL COMES ON. THE SLIDING DOORS DO NOT LATCH, HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE VAN AND CLOSE THEM. IT ONLY HAS 83,500 MILES, ALSO LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. FLICKR AND ONE WILL GO OUT AND SOMETIMES THE OTHER WILL GO OUT AND HAVE GONE OUT TOGETHER WHILE DRIVING WITH OUT ANY WARNING. AFTER LOOKING THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2016 KIA SEDONA'S HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE ALONG WITH OTHER KIA MAKE AND MODELSAFTER LOOKING THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2016 KIA SEDONA'S HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE ALONG WITH OTHER KIA MAKE AND MODEL. I WOULD HAVE ALSO COVERED THIS STORY YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL KIA DEALER THEY HAVE ALSO HAD CUSTOMERS DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL KIA DEALER THEY HAVE ALSO HAD CUSTOMERS DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE AND I CONTACTED KIA MANUFACTURED YESTERDAY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY HAVE NO RECALL AT THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT THE ONES THAT INITIATES RECALLED THAT GOES THROUGH NHTSA SO HERE I AM. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND THERE STILL IS NO RECALL.I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND THERE STILL IS NO RECALL. HERE IS LINKS TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING WASN'T GETTING MUCH POWER THEN CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET I HAD THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY AND KIA SAID IT WAS MY FAULT AND I DIDN'T PUT OIL WOULD NOT REPAIR SO I FIXED MYSELF NOW THE SAME EXACT THING IS HAPPENING. *TR

THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. WE CONTACTED KIA MOTORS REGARDING THIS. IT TOOK THEM WEEKS BEFORE THEY SENT OUT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. UPON INCEPTION OF THE VEHICLE THEY SIMPLY DENIED THAT THE ENGINE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY FAULTY PARTS AND DECLINED RESPONSIBLY FOR THE IT!

THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, IT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, TURNS ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THEN SWITCHES TO THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, OR DOES NOT TURN ON ANY TURN SIGNAL. ALSO, WHEN SOMEONE WEIGHING AROUND 175 OR LESS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON, AS IF THE PERSON IS A CHILD AND THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS WILL OFTEN FLICKER OFF FOR ONE TO THREE SECONDS WHEN I'M EITHER ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL (EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT) OR ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS. I ALWAYS DRIVE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS IN "AUTO", SO I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER SETTING.

HAVE GOTTEN TIRE ROTATIONS REGULARLY. DEALER TOLD ME AFTER THIS ROTATION, THAT THERE WAS CUPPING ON THESE TIRES. THEY ONLY HAVE 23487 MILES ON THEM. MAINTAINANCE WAS DONE AND INFLATION KEPT AT BOOK LEVEL. DEALER SAYS TIRE MANUFACTURER IS LIABLE FOR WARRANTY. TIRE MANUFACTURER SYS DEALER NEEDS TO FILE CLAIM AND THAT THE CUPPING IS NOT SAFETY ISSUE AND WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES FROM WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. MANUFATURER IS HANKOOK. TIRE IS DYNAPRO HP2 RA33 BW. SKU1011758 PART# UHK18 23560BW. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO HAVE THIS HAPPENING AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE.IT WAS NOT OWNER NEGLECT!

2016 SEDONA DRIVER SIDE PUSH BUTTON SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY ON ITS OWN. IT MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE AND THE BACK OF THE DOOR DOESN'T LATCH; WHICH CAUSES THE DOOR TO NOT LOCK ALSO. THIS POSES A VARIETY OF SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE DOOR SENSORS RESET/PROGRAMMED FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS FOR THE DOOR NOT RETURNING IF OBSTRUCTED; HOWEVER I HAVE PERSONALLY GOTTEN CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AND IT'S STILL NOT RETRACTING AS IT SHOULD IN MY OPINION. IF A CHILD WAS IN FACT THE ONE WITH THEIR HANDS, LEGS, FEET ECT IN THE PATH OF THE DOOR THE DOOR IS NOT GOING TO STOP AND RETRACT LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. THE DOOR HAS ACTED THIS WAY FOR A LONG TIME. SINCE ABOUT 40,000 MILES.

WHEN ACTIVATING TURN SIGNALS THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE SET AUTO. RETURNING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK BACK TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION SEEMS TO CORRECT THIS AND ALSO MOVING THE SWITCH FROM AUTO TO ON. THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, AND WHILE STATIONARY ON THE CITY STREETS OR IN PARKING LOTS. SINCE I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES THE VAN I REMIND HER ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN CASE IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO HER. MY DAUGHTER WILL BE DRIVING SOON AND A YOUNG DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO AND THEY MAY PANIC CAUSING A PROBLEM. JUST TONIGHT I FOUND THAT WHEN THE PARKING LIGHTS WERE PUT ON THE DRIVERS FRONT LIGHT FLICKERS AND THEN GOES OUT. I REPEATED THIS PROCESS FOR SEVERAL CYCLES AND IT DID IT EVERY TIME. THIS IS SOMETHING NEW THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL TONIGHT

THE SLIDING DOOR MOTOR DOES NOT CLOSE THE DOOR PROPERLY. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE NOT COVERED BY KIA. THE PROPER CLOSING OF THE SIDE DOOR IS NOT THEIR CONCERN.

I OWN A 2016 KIA SEDONA LX. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR NOT LATCHING WHEN CLOSING A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE THING IS, I RARELY EVER USE THAT SIDE FOR LOADING OR UNLOADING. MORE TIMES THAN NOT I USE THE PASSENGER SIDE (CURB SIDE) DOOR. WHEN THE DOOR IS ATTEMPTING TO LATCH, IT MAKES A VERY WEIRD SOUND LIKE IT IS GROANING. IT CLOSES, BUT DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. ACCORDING TO THE DASHBOARD, THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. I TOOK IT TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND CABLE AT A COST OF OVER $700. I'VE ALSO HAD A FUEL INJECTOR GO BAD $580. THESE SITUATIONS MAKE ME WONDER ABOUT YOUR "RELIABILITY" STATEMENTS. I FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (SA-210) RELATING TO SEDONAS, 2015~2016 MODEL YEARS, GROUP BOD, NUMBER 116, DATED NOVEMBER, 2015. IT DESCRIBES WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT "A VEHICLE WHICH MAY EXHIBIT AN INOPERATIVE POWER SLIDING DOOR." MY VAN, ACCORDING TO THE VIN, FALLS WITHIN THE DATES THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THE BULLETIN (1/6/15 - 7/6/15). TO ME, THIS SEEMS LIKE THE BULLETIN PERTAINS TO MY VEHICLE. THE PSD IS DEFINITELY NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. SINCE IT IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY IN TOTAL, I SUBMIT THEREFORE, THAT THE LATCH IS INOPERABLE.

FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. SOMETIMES THEY GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON
