2008 Kia Sedona Seats Problems

Your driver's seat broke at the slide frame and now falls backward, making it unsafe to drive. Additionally, your sliding door on the driver's side is stuck and won't open at all. The seat frame may need to be replaced or repaired, and the sliding door latch mechanism will likely need inspection and repair.

AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE DRIVERS SEAT BACK STARTED MOVING TO THE RECLINE POSITION WITH NOT INPUT ON SEAT ADJUSTMENT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION AS IF YOU ARE LEANING INTO THE SEAT BACK YOU START MOVING TO THE RECLINED POSITION. TRYING TO STOP THE RECLINE USING THE CONTROL WOULD STOP THE MOVEMENT UNTIL YOU LET UP ON THE SEAT BACK CONTROL. WE FOUND IF YOU MOVE THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT FOR FORWARD AND BACK (BOTTOM OF SEAT) THE RECLINE STOPPED. I AM PLANNING ON TAKING CAR TO DEALER BUT THIS IS NOT OCCUR VERY OFTEN. *TR
