Consumer Description

REAR DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS CLOSE COMPLETELY AND SOMETIMES OPENS WHILE DRIVING. MY THREE YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER SITS IN THAT SEAT AND I'M WORRIED THAT THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY GOING TO COME OPEN WHILE WE'RE DRIVING THE CAR. I'VE READ OF PREVIOUS YEARS FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I'VE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ONCE, BUT I FEEL THAT KIA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE. ALSO, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. IT SOMETIMES MAKES A GRINDING SOUND WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN - NOT NECESSARILY WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. SOMETIMES IT'S DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.
