2007 Kia Sedona Other Problems

Your passenger door came open while driving on the highway, and your equipment spilled onto the road, causing other drivers to swerve and brake. A mechanic determined that the door latch mechanism broke. The door-ajar warning light didn't activate until after the door had already flung open. The latch assembly will need to be replaced.

Your car occasionally produces a burning plastic smell accompanied by crackling sounds from the dashboard, and then randomly fails to start even though the lights and radio work. You've replaced the battery, fuses, and relay switches without resolving the issue. A mechanic has been unable to identify the cause, making this a serious safety concern that may involve electrical wiring damage or a failing electrical component.

Your brake lights and cruise control aren't working, and your ESC warning light stays on constantly. Your driver's side mirror moves up and down when you shift into drive or reverse, your back hatch sensor falsely warns that the hatch is open even after closing it (requiring repeated closes), and your rear sliding door won't open or close automatically. These issues likely involve electrical connections, sensors, and actuators that control these various functions.

THE HOOD BECAME UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SMASHING THE WINDSHIELD. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS TO TOTAL THE CAR RATHER THAN FIXING IT. TJETE IS A RECALL ON THE HOOD LATCH. CAN I EXPECT KIA TO REPAIR MY CAR?

THE VEHICLE WILL FROM TIME TO TIME SUDDENLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. HAS OCCURRED WHILE SLOWING TO COME TO A STOP AND WHILE SPEEDING UP TO NORMAL OPERATING SPEEDS. WHEN IT HAPPENS BRAKING DOES NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION THE SPEED CONTINUES TO INCREASE.

I HAD AN ISSUE WITH A DEALERSHIP AFTER SERVICE WITH KIA I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS NOT LOCKING AND SHUTTING. AND BEFORE I ACCUSE SOMEONE OF SOMETHING THAT IS NOT CORRECT I WANTED TO RULE OUT ALL AVENUES. WHILE SPEAKING TO KIA THEY SAID TO CONTACT THE OWNER AND TAKE IT UP WITH THEM. BUT I AM WANTING TO MAKE SURE OF THIS I HAVE A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. ON 5/21/2016 IS WHEN I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM.

I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH ON ROUTE 680. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE KEPT INCREASING SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP. AS OF THIS WRITING MY KIA DEALER SAID THE ONLY PROBLEM RECORDED BY HIS EQUIPMENT WAS A BREAK SWITCH.

SUBFRAME BUSHINGS AROUND THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION HAVE GONE BAD AND MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60,000. I HAVE HAD OTHER CARS LONGER WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. I HAVE READ OTHER REVIEWS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH KIA SEDONA'S SUBFRAME AND WAS WONDERING IF THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE SERVICE STATION AND THE MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME AT NO POINT THEY WOULD HAVE NOT CHECKED THIS FOR ANY SERVICE, ONLY IF WE MADE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
