2006 Kia Sedona

MY VEHICLE SHAKES BADLY...KIA, WHERE I PURCHASE MY 2006 TOLD ME, IT IS THE SUB FRAME WHICH CAUSES MY VAN TO SHAKE. THE SALT IN PENNSYLVANIA CAUSES THE FRAME OF THIS VAN TO RUST AWAY. I WELL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT! THERE IS NO RECALL...THIS WILL COST ME $2,000.00. I BELIEVE IF YOU LIVE... WHERE IT SNOWS. THE VEHICLES SHOULD BE MADE FOR STATES WHICH HAVE SNOW.....AND USE SALT ON THE ROADS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAID FOR THIS. THE SUB FRAME NEEDS TO BE RECALL BY KIA MANUFACTURER.THE MILEAGE ON MY VAN IS 63,553. ALSO, KIA STATED THAT IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THERE WAS A RECALL ON LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THEY FIXED THAT, BUT STILL IT SHAKES. IT'S THE SUB FRAME.GUEST WHAT! THEY INSPECTED MY VAN ON JAN 8, 2014,. KIA, PASSED MY VAN FOR GOOD CONDITION AND MY VAN WAS INSPECTED AFTER THEY CORRECTED THE CONTROL ARMS. AGAIN, IT STILL SHAKES....IT IS THE SUB FRAME. HOW DID KIA PASS THE VAN FOR INSPECTION. "THE SUB FRAME IS STILL ROTTEN". SO, ARE THEY WAITING FOR A ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN OR SOMEONE IS KILLED. KIA YOU NEED A RECALL ON SUB FRAME! *TR

MY FAMILY HAS A 2006 KIA SEDONA EX, WE GOT IT BRAND NEW. NO MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE CAR JUST SOME MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES (MOST EXCEPT FOR THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN RECALLED). THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. DRIVERS SIDE HAS BEEN THE WORST. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS FAIRLY NEW. IT STARTED AS THE POWER DOOR WOULD OCCASIONALLY PULL ITSELF IN THE WRONG DIRECTION WHEN OPENED OR CLOSED RESULTING IN THE MOTOR MAKING NOISES THEN IT WOULD BEEP. LATER IT STARTED OPENING BUT NOT MAKING IT TO ITS LATCHED POSITION. TOOK IT IN HAD THE MOTOR REPLACED. THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATER IT DIED. JUST DIED.. NO POWER WHAT SO EVER. TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR AGAIN AND THE LATCH RELEASE. 2 YEARS WENT BY JUST FINE THEN WE LOST THE LATCH RELEASE. SO THE DOOR WOULD OPEN OR CLOSE BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE OR ELSE IT WOULD GET CAUGHT. TOOK IT IN A 3RD TIME AND THEY REPLACED LATCH RELEASE ON BOTH SIDES. NO MORE ISSUES. UNTIL NOW. ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO THE AUTO LATCH RELEASE DIED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. YESTERDAY I WENT TO GO GET SOMETHING FROM THE STORE AND AS I WAS WAITING IN THE PARKING LOT I TRIED TO TEST HE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. PRESSED THE BUTTON THE AUTO RELEASE OPENED. BUT THE MOTOR SOUNDED REALLY SLOW. THEN I PRESS THE BUTTON TO CLOSE IT. AND THEN AUTO RELEASE DIED ON THAT SIDE TOO. NO SOUND JUST STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME WE ARE TAKING IT IN FOR THE POWER DOOR TO BE FIXED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER 06 SEDONA DRIVERS HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES. WE HAVE GOTTEN RECALLS FOR IT IN THE PAST BUT NONE INVOLVE THE POWER SLIDING DOOR. CAR IS AT 90K AND THE 100K WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO GO UP. WITH THE NUMBER OF TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT IN I HOPE THAT A PERMANENT FIX WILL BE MADE OR THE MOTORS WILL BE RECALLED BECAUSE AS SOON AS IT PASSES 100K WE ARE ON OUR OWN. AND FIXING SOMETHING THAT SHOULDNT BREAK FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR IS NOT OKAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPENED HE NOTICED THAT THE WIRES WERE PROTRUDING OUT OF THE PLASTIC WIRING COVER. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE OWNER AND HE NOTICED THAT THE CLAMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT HOLDS THE WIRES IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. RK

ON MAY 5, 2011, I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 KIA SEDONA. MY 2 CHILDREN (AGE 2 AND 7) AND MY MOTHER WERE IN THE CAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE LEFT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED ON IT'S OWN ACCORD. I WAS FRAZZLED ON HOW THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED AS THE CAR HAS GREAT SAFETY RATINGS WHICH IS WHY I PURCHASED IT AUG. 2006. I WAS SO UPSET AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO GET ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED MAJOR SERVICE IN LIC, NY AND THEY SET UP AN APPT FOR MON. 5/9/11. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR FOR SERVICE, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VOLUNTARY RECALL. I DO NOT DEFINE THIS AS A VOLUNTARY RECALL ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR CHILDREN PRESENT IN THE CAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED BECAUSE IT IS ON BACK ORDER. SUCH A RECALL SHOULD FIRST NOT BE VOLUNTARY AND SECOND SHOULD NOT BE ON BACK ORDER. IT IS NOW 2 WEEKS LATER AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PART. I CALLED KIA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER AND EXPEDITE THE ORDER. MEANWHILE, I NEED TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL AND DAUGHTER TO THE BABYSITTER, SO I TIED A ROPE TO THE DOOR TO AVOID THE DOOR FROM FULLY OPENING WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO HAVE TO HEAR THE ANNOYING BEEP NOTIFYING ME THAT THE A DOOR IS OPEN. I AM PUTTING MY CHILDREN AT RISK FOR KIA'S NEGLIGENCE. NEED THIS CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2006 KIA SEDONA MINI VAN. IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD BANG, POP NOISE WHEN THE WEIGHT WOULD SHIFT RIGHT TO LEFT ON THE FRONT END. ALSO WHEN TAKING A LEFT HAND CORNER. IT WAS IN TO KIA OF NASHA MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS NOISE. THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WE DECIDED TO LIVE WITH IT FOR A WHILE. THE NOISE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE UNTIL WE DECIDED WE HAD ENOUGH AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP WE TRUST. THEY REPORT THAT OUR SUB FRAME BUSHINGS AND SUB FRAME ARE COMPLETELY SHOT, ROTTED OUT. HE SAID WE WERE LUCKY WE BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS NOT HELD IN ON ONE SIDE AT ALL. IT WAS COMPLETELY GONE. THIS IS ONLY A 5 YEAR OLD SEDONA WITH 80K MILES ON IT! THE ENGINE COULD HAVE DROPPED OUT OR BOTTOMED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A CRASH. *TR
