2007 KIA SEDONA Structurebody Problems

The sliding doors do not work all of the time I’ve had to climb through the front to the back seat to get my child or pull my child out through the back window. The cigarette lighter/charger port works and then it doesn’t, there are many electrical issues with things functioning properly

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE HOOD POPPED OPEN AND BENT THE HOOD AND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD. I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL ON THE HOOD LATCH REPAIRED IN 2017 AT A KIA DEALER. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY THEY CANT HELP ME AND SAID TO REPORT IT TO KIA CORPORATE. THE HOOD NOW WONT CLOSE DUE TO DAMAGE. THE IMPACT ALSO BROKE THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR AND INSIDE LIGHT CONSOLE. IT SEEMS THAT HOOD LATCH PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH KIA AND A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE PROVIDER.

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES FAILED TO PROPERLY OPEN, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE DOORS NEEDED TO BE LUBRICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 20 MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOORS OPENED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, AS THE FAILURE RECURRED A YEAR LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE UNLATCH MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE JUST REPLACED BOTH THE REAR AND FRONT SUB BUSHINGS. OUR MECHANIC SAID THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED ON A VEHICLE THIS YOUNG. WE ONLY HAVE ONE SLIDING DOOR THAT FUNCTIONS RIGHT NOW. THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT WORK UNLESS YOU PHYSICALLY PULL IT OPEN AND SHUT. I HAVE BEEN READING THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL 2007 KIA OWNERS. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED? *TR

FOR 4 YEARS NOW, THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY FAMILY VAN (2007 KIA SEDONA) HAVE BEEN POPPING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN I SIMPLY PRESS THE GAS, HIT A VERY MINOR BUMP, OR SOMETIMES DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE A CAUSE. THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ALL COME ON, THE DOOR OPEN CHIME BEGINS TO DING. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO KIA ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES TO NO RESOLVE. AND NOW, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND THOUGH IT'S BEEN RECURRING FOR 4 YEARS NOW, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR OUT OF WARRANTY SERVICE. *TR

2007 KIA SEDONA - DUAL POWER DOORS. DOORS DO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE PROPERLY BY HANDLE OR REMOTE BUTTON ON POWER CONSOLE. THIS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REFERENCED IN TSB-048 AND TSB-040. THE DOORS CAN BE OPENED AND CLOSED MANUALLY WITH A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR EXHIBITED PROBLEMS FIRST, AND COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING APPROX. 3-4 WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL ISSUE. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR NOW EXHIBITING SIMILAR ISSUES OPENING AND CLOSING PROPERLY BY HANDLE, REMOTE, OR CONSOLE BUTTON. *TR
