2015 Kia Sedona

The contact owns a 2015 Kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was bouncing. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the shocks were defective. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

We bought our 2015 Kia Sedona earlier this year (2021) and are having issues with the left blinker, the sliding doors and the backup camera. With the blinker, it doesn't always activate when you plus the lever down. sometimes you have to push it real hard. Other times you push the lever down to turn left but the right blinker comes on instead. With the doors, the rear left door doesn't always click shut all the way. It makes a grinding sound and then the back of the door unhinges. Sometimes it closes all the way only to unhinge while I am driving, sometimes 55+mph in the middle of a highway. The rear right door will not always respond to any of the automatic button commands. Once in a while it will close or open with the buttons. Other times it will partially close before reopening again. And even other times it just beeps and will not move. We have checked numerous times to make sure there are no obstructions and there aren't. With the backup camera, it is just very blurry and you cannot really tell what you are looking at other than shadows. We have wiped it down and it has done nothing to fix the issue. KIA! PLEASE HELP WITH THESE ISSUES!!!!!

When pushing the turn signal down while the vehicle is in motion to go left, it either doesn’t blink or switches to the right blinker. This nearly caused an accident the other day when a car nearly hit the back of my van with my 6 kids in it, because the left blinker wouldn’t come on and then switched to blinking right. There are numerous other reports on here of similar incidents and unfortunately it looks like nothing will be done until it causes a fatality. My car is at the dealership now and I will forward the invoice if they fix it. You can go to the Kia Forum and find 34 different posts on the same issue.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ALL MY AUTOMATED POWER DOORS TO MY 2015 KIA SEDONA SXL. BOTH SLIDING DOORS HAVE BEEN STAYING UNLATCHED AND OPEN ON THEIR OWN WHILE IN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND KIA EXTENDED MY WARRANTY TO FIX IT BUT MY PROBLEM IS THAT AT THE SAME TIME THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING MY TAILGATE DOOR LATCH ALSO WENT BAD AND IT STAYS OPEN AND OPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AS WELL. I'VE TRIED TO GET ANSWERS AND ALSO TRIED TO HAVE KIA HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT'S WAY TO BIG OF A COINCIDENCE THAT MY TAILGATE MALFUNCTIONED AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AS THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOORS. IT'S BEEN ONGOING SINCE FEBRUARY 2021. I HAVE READ IN THE KIA FORUMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY KIA SEDONA OWNER THAT IS HAVING THE EXACT ISSUES. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

THE SLIDING DOORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE APPEAR FAULTY. THEY ROUTINELY DO NOT FUNCTION WITH THE BUTTON AND I AM REQUIRED TO MANUALLY CLOSE THEM. THEY ALSO DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY STOP AND HAVE NEARLY CLOSED ON MY ARM BEFORE. THEY ARE VERY GLITCHY. THE DRIVERS SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT PROPERLY CLOSE ALL OF THE WAY APPROXIMATELY 10-15% OF THE TIME.
