2016 Kia Sedona Lights Problems

The taillights leak, fill with water, and the bulbs short out. When this happens, the rear lights (taillights, brake lights reverse lights, turn signals) stop functioning. This occurs on a taillight for a vehicle that has never had an accident.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed at night going downhill, the headlights to the vehicle shut off inadvertently and the contact to almost struck a pedestrian. The contact stated that the vehicle struck a curb, and he became disoriented.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 MPH and while making a left turn, the vehicle made slight contact with a second vehicle. While viewing the second vehicle's video dashcam it was discovered that the driver's side rear signal light did not illuminate.

About 2 years ago, I began experiencing occasional times when I would turn on the left turn signal and the right turn signal would come on. The first few times it happened, I thought I must've turned on the wrong signal as it happened infrequently.

Rain water continually collects in both brakelight/taillight assemblies at the rear of the van. This causes the bulbs for the turn signal and brake light to burn out. This has been an issue since we purchased the vehicle in 2016.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the turn signal was not operating as designed. The contact stated that the turn signal was activating on the opposite side of the turn signal desired.

The rear brake / turn signal light housing tends to fill with water. When this occurs the turn signal lights short out. This presents a risk when making turns or switching lanes if the driver is unaware the rear signal is out.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that while a State Inspection was being performed on the vehicle, it was discovered that water and condensation were present inside the driver's and passenger’s side rear brake light housing. The contact stated that the vehicle failed the safety inspection due to the failure.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front driver’s side low-beam headlight failed to operate. The contact stated that the front driver's side low-beam headlight intermittently illuminated and then failed to operate as designed.

The tail lights continue to stay on even when the car is parked and no one is pressing the brakes. The driver needs to press multiple times the brake pedal to turn them off. I constantly have to buy light bulbs for the rear-end brake lights because of this issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the headlights would turn off without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the headlights regained functionality however, shortly thereafter the vehicle lost headlight functionality again.

There are two issues I believe both are connected. Sometimes when I put on the left blinker either nothing happens at all or the wrong blinker (right side) will go on instead of the left. Sometimes when I put on my left blinker the headlights will turn off.

The problem is the multi function switch. In the AUTO mode, the head lights go off randomly. This is a super dangerous at night.

Driver side sliding door does not close completely. Must push on back side for it to close. Blinkers don't work properly.

When signaling left sometimes the right blinker comes on if at all. To make it signal left you have to push the lever hard down to go left. There are times when the signal will go fast then normal.

When using turn signal some times it doesn't turn on and you have to push the stalk down again to turn it on. Or sometimes it flashes fast than turns back to normal. This happens at coming to intersection moving or standing still.

Flickering headlights at night. Sometimes they go out and then come back on

I have a 2016 kia sedona and sometimes while driving at night either on the freeway or city street my headlights flicker off and on, sometimes they won't turn back on until I turn the lights switch. It started 2 years ago but now it has been happening more frequently. Also, while my van is parked and the engine is off the headlights are turning on by themselves.

Was driving on an interstate highway at night when suddenly the dashboard lights went out. After a few seconds, the headlights went out as well. This was definitely a life-threatening situation!

The low beam headlights are manufactured to a specification that gives very limited length of visibility making fast highway driving at night very dangerous. Dealership said it was normal, manufacturer is looking into it.

Headlight don't turn on even with new bulbs. Break light fill with water and stop working.

The taillight housings accumulate standing water due to cracking of the plastic on the back of the tail light housing. This water leads to corrosion of the brake light bulb socket, which then leads to an inoperative brake light.

Headlights will randomly turn off and flicker on and off. Has happened multiple times and on dark roads

we received notice for safety recall that the tail lights and turn signal lights could fail and they needed to change something to do with computer.we took it in and left with lights working and 3days later they stopped working again.Kia is refusing to fix it on the recall but it is the same issue.

Malfunctioning indicator stalk/switch. Left blinker either won't function or will cause right blinker to indicate. Dangerous because creates confusion to other drivers and is a distraction.

At times when driving with headlights on the driverside taillight will go out and will cause the middle and passenger brake light to stay on. If I turn the headlights off the middle and passenger taillights work only when pressing the brake peddle.I have removed the tail light and checked it for being burned out, corrosion or being loose and it is fine.

Rear directionals fill with rain water and stop functioning.
