2007 Kia Sedona Electrical Problems

Your vehicle stalled while driving at 25 mph and wouldn't restart. When you checked under the hood, there was a fire coming from the engine area. A passing driver used a fire extinguisher to help control the fire until the fire department arrived and fully extinguished it. Everyone in the vehicle inhaled smoke and went to the hospital as a precaution, though no one was permanently injured. The fire likely originated from an electrical or fuel system component under the engine that will need professional inspection to determine the root cause.

After service work in September 2020, your Sedona developed serious engine problems including a check engine light, heavy vibration and noise, and random stalling while driving. The service center has diagnosed the issue twice and is now recommending a complete engine replacement. The repair may require engine diagnostics, replacement spark plugs and ignition coils, or potentially a full engine overhaul depending on what caused the damage.

Your parked Sedona caught fire while turned off with the keys removed in a business parking lot. The fire department responded and extinguished the fire. The exact cause appears to involve the electrical system, electronic stability control, or brake system components.

Your parked car began smoking from under the hood while not running and with no key in the ignition. Your boyfriend found that the electrical stability control module's wiring had overheated and burned, with the dealership stating the car would have caught fire if the problem hadn't been caught. The repair involves replacing the damaged electrical stability control module and its wiring harness.

Your sliding doors don't work consistently, forcing you to climb through the front seat or use the back window to access your child. Your cigarette lighter and charging port also work intermittently. You're experiencing multiple electrical issues throughout the vehicle where components function unpredictably. A mechanic will need to diagnose the electrical system to identify loose connections, faulty wiring, or a failing power distribution module.

Your vehicle has been subject to a recall notice. You should contact your Kia dealer with your recall letter to schedule service for the electrical system, airbags, and electronic stability control. The dealer will diagnose and repair the affected components at no cost to you.

Your car is experiencing multiple electrical problems that happen both while driving and when parked. The brake lights flash repeatedly for about 5 seconds, and during these episodes your windows lock and unlock on their own, your wipers stop working, and your radio changes stations without you touching it. You've also had starting issues where the car wouldn't start for a day or two, then would start fine on its own. These problems have been occurring for at least 3 years. A mechanic will need to diagnose the electrical system to find the source of these glitches, likely involving the battery, alternator, or wiring harness.

You received a recall notice for your 2007 Kia Sedona involving the electrical system and service brakes, but the replacement parts weren't available from the manufacturer. You feel the manufacturer has taken too long to make these parts available for the recall repair. The dealer confirmed that the necessary parts are still not in stock.

POWER SLIDING DOORS, WON'T WORK, THEN WORK BUT WON'T CLOSE COMPLETELY. HAVING ISSUES WITH BOTH SIDES. MORE THE PASSENGER SIDE THAN THE DRIVER SIDE.

INTERMITTENT NO START CONDITION

OUR 2007 LOW MILEAGE KIA HAD BEEN PARKED FOR OVER 24 HRS. WHILE SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY NOT RUNNING, NO KEYS IN IGNITION, CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. THE FIRE TRAVELLED TO MY STORAGE BUILDING. WE LOST EVERYTHING IN OUR STORAGE AND OUR VEHICLE. KIA ASSUMES NO FAULT. ATTACHED IS FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT AND PICS OF THE DAMAGE.

WHILE MY KIA SEDONA WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. HAD BEEN PARKED ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN SMOKE SUDDENLY STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SOON, THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS ON FIRE AND LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. KIA COORPERATE SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

WHILE PARKED THE BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS STAY ON; WHILE DRIVING THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS, AND ESC LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ON. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL NHTSA #13V114000 AND THE KIA RECALL #SC098, BUT MY VIN NUMBER APPARENTLY ISN'T LISTED AS ONE THAT IS AFFECTED, WHICH IT IS! I HAVE NOTICED IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT NOW THEY ALL ARE GETTING WORSE. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A RECALL PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE KIA DEALER IN CHEYENNE, WYOMING ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V389000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 183,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES, UNLESS YOU TAP THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, THEN IT STARTS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU STALL IN TRAFFIC AND CAN'T GET THE CAR STARTED. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE REQUIRE KIA TO DO A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HIT AND KILLED. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THANK YOU.

BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING, ESC LIGHT IS ON THAT IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LOOKED UP THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON 2007 KIA SEDONA BUT WHEN ENTERING MY VIN # IT DOES NOT SHOW UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

POWER DOORS NO LONGER WORK, THEY DO NOT STAY LATCHED WHILE DRIVING. THREE TIMES THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS COME UNLATCHED AND STARTED OPENING WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE BACK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER OPEN THE DOOR ALL THE WAY THEN RE-CLOSE IT. BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. *TR

FIRST, THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR DRIVER STAYS ON, THEN CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING, NOW THE HORN QUIT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. I LOOKED UP AND SEE THAT OTHER MODELS OF KIA'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR FAULTY CLOCK SPRINGS; BUT NOT THE SEDONA. I BELIEVE THIS MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT TO HAVE A WORKING AIR BAG AND HORN. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES THAT IT WILL COST $350 TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS SO I WILL DRIVE WITH NO HORN OR AIR BAG. IF I SHOULD BE INJURED OR DIE IN A CRASH DUE TO EITHER OF THESE ITEMS NOT WORKING I HAVE INSTRUCTED MY WIFE AND CHILDREN TO SUE KIA FOR NOT RECALLING ALL THE CLOCK SPRINGS, WHEN ITS OBVIOUS THAT MORE MODELS HAVE PROBLEMS THAN WHAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING I HAVE EXPERIENCED NOW ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I TOO HAVE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE ESC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE GAS PEDAL IS VIRTUALLY DEAD, YOU PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND ALL YOU GET IS ABOUT 1500 RPM AND ABOUT 20 MPH. IF YOU PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RE-START IT, IT WILL WORK. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. *TR

THE REAR RIGHT DOOR, (POWER OPERATED) NO LONGER RESPONDS TO THE CONTROLS. I HAVE TO PULL OUT MANUALLY BEFORE THE POWER WILL ENGAGE. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS STUCK ON SOMETHING BUT THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WAY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN INTERMITTENT "NON-START" ISSUE WITH MY CAR. I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING. THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON, RADIO WOULD GO ON, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TOWARDS CRANKING AND STARTING. NO CLICKING NOISE, NOTHING. I WOULD GET OUT OF THE CAR OPEN AND CLOSE SOME DOORS AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WOULD START. ALSO, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON. WHENEVER I STOPPED IT WOULD GO OFF UNTIL I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. I HAD MY MECHANIC PLUG IT IN TO SEE IF ANY ERROR CODES SHOW, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THESE EXACT ISSUES TIED TO THE STOP LAMP SWITCH, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO KIA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY HAD FIXED THE RECALL A COUPLE YEARS EARLIER. I BOUGHT A NEW STOP LAMP SWITCH MYSELF, (GENUINE KIA PART, NOT GENERIC,) AND HAD IT REPLACED AGAIN. (CHEAP PART OF AND INSTALLATION.) I THEN WENT ON ROAD TRIP AND NOTHING WAS FIXED. ESC OFF LIGHT WAS ON NEARLY THE WHOLE TIME AND I HAD A NON-START DURING TRIP. THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER ISSUE INVOLVED HERE. I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY SO I HARDLY EVER AM DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, SO ROAD TRIPS WAS ONLY TIME I WOULD SEE ESC OFF LIGHT AND I RARELY IF EVER USE CRUISE CONTROL, SO I DON;T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE TIED TO THIS STANDARD GROUP OF ISSUES EITHER. *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED UP WHILE MY 8 MONTH OLD GRAND-DAUGHTER WAS IN THE SEAT NEXT TO THE OPENED DOOR, THANKFULLY SECURED IN HER CAR SEAT. I AM SURPRISED TO SEE THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS AFTER READING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT INCIDENT! *TR

I OWN A 2007 KIA SEDONA LX. I HAVE HAD IT SINCE NOV IF 2009. I M REPLACING MY BATTERY EVERY SIX MONTH DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A DRAW AND HAS HAD SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT.. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BY KIA AND I HAVE TAKEN IT THERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THEY TEST MY CHARGING SYSTEM IT HAS THE NORMAL FACTORY DRAW. I TOOK IT THERE AGAIN AND WAS TOLD IT IS WORKING FINE AND NOT TO RETURN. THEY MADE ME FEEL CRAZY. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 YEARS. AND HAVE BEEN BUYING BATTERIES EVERY SIX MONTHS. NOW THAT MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, KIA HAS MAGICALLY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH IT. UPON FIXING THE PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE STILL DRAINS THE BATTERY DEAD OVER A PERIOD OF 2 DAYS! I HAVE CALLED KIA HEADQUARTERS IN IRVINE CALIFORNIA. THEY HAVEN?T BEEN HELPFUL WHATSOEVER. I HAVE STOPPED MANY PEOPLE THAT OWN MY YEAR OF VAN AND ASKED IS THEY EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. I M SURPRISED TO FIND THAT MANY OF THEM HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT REPLACING BATTERIES VERY OFTEN! SO THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE! *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS ON. THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ON CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL TO START. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,415. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL NOW WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON INSIDE. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING SO IT DOESN'T OPEN. IF YOU PULL THE HANDLE, OUTSIDE, IT SOMETIMES WILL FINISH OPENING OR CLOSING BY ITSELF. BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT THAT PULL TO GET IT PAST THE CATCHING POINT. YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL RUN AUTOMATICALLY OR IF YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL THE DOOR OPEN, ITS LIKE IT SHUTS OFF OR ON. IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT MANUALLY INSIDE , YOU REALLY HAVE TO PUSH AGAINST THE DOOR HARD TO OPEN IT UP. WHEN YOU PULL IT MANUALLY IT PULLS EASIER, OUTSIDE, THAN IF YOU HAD THE AUTO TURNED OFF. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH IT POPPING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. JUST POPS OUT OF THE LATCH SOMETIMES WHEN IT DOES AUTO CLOSE AND IT BEEPS AND LETS YOU KNOW THE DOOR ISN'T COMPLETELY CLOSED. JUST STARTED HAVING THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING TO CATCH A LITTLE BIT NOW, BUT IT DOES COMPLETELY RUN AUTOMATICALLY ONCE YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE HELP. HAVEN'T TAKEN IT IN BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS DONE AND CANT AFFORD TO PAY POSSIBLY HUNDREDS TO FIX IT. *TR

2007 KIA SEDONA. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH STARTING VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD AN INTERMITTENT NO-CRANK CONDITION. THE CONSUMER SUPPLIED A TSB REGARDING THE ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE TSB, THE CONDITION MAY BE CAUSED BY HIGHER THAN NORMAL RESISTANCE ACROSS THE BURGLAR ALARM RELAY LOCATED IN THE IN PANEL MODULE (IPM). OTHER CONCERNS SUCH AS POOR PIN CONNECTIONS AND OTHER FAULTY COMPONENTS IN THE STARTER CIRCUIT MAY ALSO CAUSE HIGHER THAN NORMAL CIRCUIT RESISTANCE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE REPLACING THE IPM. *JB

WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED,THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MALFUCTIONS. CRUISE CONTROL SOMETIMES WILL NOT DEACTIVATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2007 KIA SEDONA REGARDING 2007 KIA SEDONA RECALL, ITEM AFFECTED: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH, DATE ANNOUNCED: 4/17/2009, AFFECTING VEHICLES MADE 9-20-2006 THRU 11-20-2006, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS MADE 11-28-2006, EVERYTHING ON THE RECALLS DESCRIBES WHAT MY VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING.(THE STOP LAMP SWITCH IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY MALFUNCTION. A MALFUNCTIONING STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED OR MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. A STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTION MAY ALSO AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKE-TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK FEATURE SO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, AND IT MAY NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.) KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY STATED IT WAS FIXED WITH THE PREVIOUS MODELS AND ALL MODELS MANF. AFTER 11-20-2006. THEY ADVISED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU. *TR

OCCASIONALLY, THE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CLOSES AND THEN REOPENS ABOUT 6-12" AND HAS TO BE CLOSED BY HAND. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE SAME DOOR OPENS ALL THE WAY AND IT CAN'T BE CLOSED, EITHER BY POWER OR BY HAND. IT WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL IT GETS READY FOR YOU TO CLOSE IT. THE TIME FRAME VARIES BUT USUALLY 10-15 MINUTES. SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING WITH ALL OF THE DOORS CLOSED AND LOCKED, THE SAME SLIDING DOOR WILL OPEN A COUPLE OF INCHES AND I HAVE TO STOP AND MANUALLY CLOSE IT. THE VAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH OF THE DESCRIBED INCIDENTS STILL HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. THE REPAIR TECHNICIANS CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NO CORRECTIVE ACTION CAN BE TAKEN. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE FALLS OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS MOVING AND IS EITHER SEVERELY INJURED OF KILLED. *TR

I HAVE CONCERNS OF SAFETY CONCERNS ON SEAT BELTS AND ELECTRICAL WIRING 1.THE SEAT BELT SHOULDER STRAP AND THAT IS IT DOESN'T RETRACT BACK TO ITS RETRACTABLE POSITION. IT SEEMS TO BE SEIZING UP. IT HAS BEEN LUBRICATED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT KEEPS RETURNING. LAP BELT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS ONE IS DOING THE SAME THING. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE SHOULDER BELT DOES SEIZE THEN HOW THE FORWARD FORCES WILL ALLOW THE LOCK MECHANISM TO ENGAGE ITSELF TO STOP YOUR BODY FROM BEING EXERTED FORWARD. 2.THE WIRING I HAVE FOUND THAT ONE OF THE CIGARETTE LIGHT POWER OUTLETS HAS UNDER THE PROPER GAUGE OF WIRE FOR THE AMPERAGE THAT WILL COVER THE DEMAND. ONE OF THINGS I HAVE OBSERVED IS THAT CHECKING OUT THE OUTLET THE WIRES THAT POWER THE OUTLET IS 22 GAUGES WHICH ARE RATED FOR LESS THEN 1 AMP DRAW. THE COOLER THAT I AM USING REQUIRES AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT 3 AMPS AND NEEDS TO BE RATED FOR 15 AMPS. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS THE WIRES BEHIND THE PANELS ARE WARMING UP, THIS IS THE WIRE THE MANUFACTURER USES HEATS UP AND IT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE BEHIND THE PANEL. THE HEAD OFFICE OF THIS VEHICLE HAS NO INFORMATION TO KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABOVE CONCERNS AND FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE THERE IS A DEATH BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT PROPER ITEMS INSTALLED. *TR

THIS MORNING MY WIFE WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD IN OUR 2007 KIA: SEDONA DOING 55 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN THE SIDE ELECTRIC DOOR JUST OPENED UP ON IT'S OWN. (IT WAS LOCKED.) OUR SIX YEAR OLD GRANDSON WAS SITTING THERE WITH HIS SEAT BELT ON (THANK GOD). AS YOU CAN GUESS, IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF HIM AND MY WIFE. LAST YEAR, THIS SAME THING HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITH THE OTHER SIDE DOOR. (ONE TIME, I WAS SITTING AT THE DOOR COMING BACK FROM WEST POINT, NY.) AS OF NOW, KIA IS HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING PARTS. (IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF VOLUME OF PROBLEMS.) THEY SAY IT WILL TAKE A WEEK TO GET PARTS. (KIA DOES NOT SUPPLY A FREE RENTAL.) *TR

VAN CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. *TR
