2016 Kia Sedona

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.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILS TO LATCH AND LOCK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KING KIA (953 N FREDERICK AVE, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20879 (301) 948-3333) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS NOT BINDING AND THE SLIDING DOOR WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE REPAIR THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

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.
