NHTSA Complaint #10298919 — 2006 KIA SEDONA

2006 KIA SEDONA, SLIDING DOORS KEEP STICKING OR LOCKING SO YOU CAN NOT OPEN THEM, IN COLD WEATHER AND IN WARM WEATHER. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN DOORS, IF CAR IS DRIVE OR EVEN SETTING AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN DOORS THE DOORS WILL THEN OPEN CAUSING LIGHTS & BELLS TO COME ON. IF DRIVING YOU MAY HAVE TO STOP TO SHUT DOOR, BUT IF CAR IS TURNED OFF AND SITTING, IF THE LIGHTS & BELLS COME ON YOU DO NOT HEAR THE WARNING AND I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY GO BAD. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NOW BATTERY IS GOING DEAD OVER NIGHT. THIS AUTOMOBLIE IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2008 AND HAVE NOT HAD IT 2 YRS AND HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, PUT 4 NEW TIRES ON AS TIRES KEEP LOOSING AIR PRESSURE AND HEAD LIGHTS HAVE BLOWN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. AS FAR AS THE DOORS STICKING/LOCKING I HAVE REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT PUT SOME LUBURCATE AROUND THE DOORS, WLHICH I DO NOT THINK IS THE CAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, IT ACTS MORE LIKE LOCKING OF THE DOORS. IF I WERE TO HAVE A HEADON COLLISION WHERE BOTH FRONT DOORS WERE UNABLE TO OOPEN, AND THE CAR STARTED ON FIRE, NEITHER I NOR ANY PASSENGERSWOULD BE ALBLE TO ESCAPE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE A RELATIVE THAT BOUGHT HIS 2006 SEDONA IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON DURING THE SUMMER OF 09 AND HIS DO THE SAME THING AND THIS PERSON HAS 3 CHILDREN THAT HE HAS IN HIS CAR. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG AGO. THE DATE THAT I AM INCLUDING BELOW IS GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURED. *TR
