NHTSA Complaint #10809078 — 2007 KIA SEDONA

THE SLIDING DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING. SOME OF OUR GROCERIES FLEW OUT AND JUST MISSED A MAN WAITING FOR THE BUS. THIS ALONG WITH LATCHING PROBLEMS AND AUTO DOOR OPENING ISSUIES. HAVE REPLACED MANY PARTS AND SPENT MANY DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEMS WERE BECAUSE I LIVE ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND DUST IS CAKING ON THE MOTORS. I SPENT 370 DOLLARS TODAY TO GET THE DOOR JUST TO STAY LATCHED!!! I WAS TOLD TO SPRAY WATER INTO MY DOOR ONCE A WEEK AND ONCE A MONTH TO TAKE THE DOOR APART AND SPRAY WATER AND RE GREASE. BOTH SIDES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IF MY KID WAS IN THE CAR AND FELL OUT HEADS WOULD ROLL. IF MY GROCERIES HAD HIT THE MAN WAITING FOR THE BUS I WOULD HAVE BEEN SUED. I WENT ON LINE TO SEE IF OTHER OWNERS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND THERE WAS SO MANY THAT I WAS SHOCKED. SOME DAYS WE CAN'T OPEN OUR AUTO SLIDING DOORS AND HAVE TO GO MANUAL. SOME OF THOSE TIMES IT DOES NOT LATCH SO WE USE ROPE ON THE DOOR HANDLES TO KEEP IT FROM OPENING. HOW CAN THIS BE SAFE???
