2016 Kia Sedona

THE DAYTIME AND HEADLIGHTS LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF RANDOMLY. (STARTED AROUND THE 100K MILEAGE). WHEN STATIONARY, THE SLIDING DOORS DO NOT SHUT CORRECTLY. 1ST THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGINS RATTLING LIKE CHANGE IS INSIDE THE DOOR. 2ND THEN THE DOOR BEGINS TAKING 2 TURNS TO CLOSE, AND THEN IT IS HIT OR MISS WHEN CLOSING. THE DOOR CLOSURE BUTTON WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT WORK, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS OFF AND PARKED. (STARTED AROUND THE 45000 MILEAGE). THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT CONNECTOR OCCASIONALLY INDICATES A FAULT ERROR. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT INDICATOR WILL TURN ON WHEN 5 POUNDS OR LESS IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. (STARTED AROUND THE 100K MILEAGE). MY BIGGEST CONCERN: SINCE I BELIEVE THE SIDE DOORS ARE FATAL ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN, I HAVE MY KIDS SIT IN THE 3RD ROW. ONLY ADULTS ARE ALLOWED TO SIT IN MY PASSENGER CAPTAIN CHAIRS. THE BLIND SPOT WARNING DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN UNLIT ROAD BY HAROLD PARKER STATE FOREST, IN MASSACHUSETTS. MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT ( STOPPED WORKING ) AND NEVER CAME BACK ON. I USED MY HIGH BEAMS TO MAKE MY WAY HOME, MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE THINK THAT THE BULBS BURNT OUT, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I TESTED THE FUSE AND RELAY AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FIND, SO NOW I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL KIA DEALER TO INVESTIGATE. MY WIFE INFORMED ME THAT IS HAD HAPPENED TO HER EARLIER THE SAME WEEK, BUT SHE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HER EYES. THIS WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM GIVEN THE TIME OF NIGHT, THE INABILITY TO SEE WITHOUT BLINDING ON COMING TRAFFIC. I DID SOME LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER AND FOUND A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR WORSE, KILLED.

THE FEMALE PLUG ON THE AC PIGTAIL SWITCH THAT WORKS THE FRONT A/C FAN WAS DEFECTIVE. I REPLACED THE PLUG AND THE PIGTAIL. I THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE FEMALE PLUG WAS SHORTED OUT AND BURNED. IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 07072020. THE UNSAFE CONDITION WAS THE BURNED FEMALE PLUG WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DASH FIRE.

THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR RANDOMLY FAILS TO ACTIVE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL. WHEN SIGNALING RIGHT IT ALWAYS WORKS, WHEN SIGNALING LEFT IT IS HIT OR MISS. IT HAS BECOME MORE OFTEN OVER THE LAST YEAR. THIS CREATES PROBLEM WHEN I SIGNAL LEFT AND START TO MOVE THEN REALIZE THE LEFT SIGNAL DID NOT COME ON I HAVE HAD TO JERK BACK INTO LANE TO AVOID ACCIDENT.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. FLICKR AND ONE WILL GO OUT AND SOMETIMES THE OTHER WILL GO OUT AND HAVE GONE OUT TOGETHER WHILE DRIVING WITH OUT ANY WARNING. AFTER LOOKING THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2016 KIA SEDONA'S HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE ALONG WITH OTHER KIA MAKE AND MODELSAFTER LOOKING THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2016 KIA SEDONA'S HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE ALONG WITH OTHER KIA MAKE AND MODEL. I WOULD HAVE ALSO COVERED THIS STORY YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL KIA DEALER THEY HAVE ALSO HAD CUSTOMERS DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL KIA DEALER THEY HAVE ALSO HAD CUSTOMERS DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE AND I CONTACTED KIA MANUFACTURED YESTERDAY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY HAVE NO RECALL AT THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT THE ONES THAT INITIATES RECALLED THAT GOES THROUGH NHTSA SO HERE I AM. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND THERE STILL IS NO RECALL.I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND THERE STILL IS NO RECALL.

THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, IT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, TURNS ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THEN SWITCHES TO THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, OR DOES NOT TURN ON ANY TURN SIGNAL. ALSO, WHEN SOMEONE WEIGHING AROUND 175 OR LESS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON, AS IF THE PERSON IS A CHILD AND THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

2016 SEDONA DRIVER SIDE PUSH BUTTON SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY ON ITS OWN. IT MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE AND THE BACK OF THE DOOR DOESN'T LATCH; WHICH CAUSES THE DOOR TO NOT LOCK ALSO. THIS POSES A VARIETY OF SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE DOOR SENSORS RESET/PROGRAMMED FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS FOR THE DOOR NOT RETURNING IF OBSTRUCTED; HOWEVER I HAVE PERSONALLY GOTTEN CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AND IT'S STILL NOT RETRACTING AS IT SHOULD IN MY OPINION. IF A CHILD WAS IN FACT THE ONE WITH THEIR HANDS, LEGS, FEET ECT IN THE PATH OF THE DOOR THE DOOR IS NOT GOING TO STOP AND RETRACT LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. THE DOOR HAS ACTED THIS WAY FOR A LONG TIME. SINCE ABOUT 40,000 MILES.
