2016 Kia Sedona

WHEN ACTIVATING TURN SIGNALS THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE SET AUTO. RETURNING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK BACK TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION SEEMS TO CORRECT THIS AND ALSO MOVING THE SWITCH FROM AUTO TO ON. THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, AND WHILE STATIONARY ON THE CITY STREETS OR IN PARKING LOTS. SINCE I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES THE VAN I REMIND HER ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN CASE IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO HER. MY DAUGHTER WILL BE DRIVING SOON AND A YOUNG DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO AND THEY MAY PANIC CAUSING A PROBLEM. JUST TONIGHT I FOUND THAT WHEN THE PARKING LIGHTS WERE PUT ON THE DRIVERS FRONT LIGHT FLICKERS AND THEN GOES OUT. I REPEATED THIS PROCESS FOR SEVERAL CYCLES AND IT DID IT EVERY TIME. THIS IS SOMETHING NEW THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL TONIGHT

OUR VEHICLE HAS THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY LIGHT, ABS, LIGHT ON. IT OVER HEATS IF SITTING STILL. THE COOLING FAN IS NOT WORKING REPLACED THE FUSE RELAY. FOR THE COOLING FAN, STILL NO COOLING FAN. CONSTANTLY FILLING THE COOLANT. IT SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL BUT I DECIDED TO WAIT FOR A PRO TO SEE IF IT IS RECALL RELATED. WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON WHILE THE VAN WAS IN MOTION 55 MPH, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND WENT OFF THREE TIMES FOR STAYING ON. " ABS,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THIS IS WHEN THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM STARTED WHILE IDLING.

I HAVE NEEDED TO HAVE THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR MOTORS REPLACED (ONCE IN 2018, CURRENTLY WORKING ON IT A SECOND TIME 2019) AS THE DOORS WOULD NOT FULLY LATCH. THEY WOULD CLOSE INTO POSITION IN THE FRONT LATCH BUT WOULD NOT PULL COMPLETELY SHUT IN THE BACK PART OF THE DOOR. ONCE THE DOOR IS PUSHED SHUT, IT STAYS SHUT, BUT YOU NEED TO PUSH IT TO CLOSE IT. I HAVE A VIDEO BUT I CANNOT UPLOAD IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE REAR DOORS UNLOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE RADIO SHORTED IN AND OUT. CENTURY KIA OF TAMPA (4340 W HILLSBOROUGH AVE, TAMPA, FL 33614, (844) 757-2536) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE TO RECEIVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY, AND AT NIGHT. TWO THINGS, ONE THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT ENGAGE, YOU'LL PUSH THE STALK UP/DOWN TO INDICATE A LEFT OR RIGHT-HAND TURN, AND THE EXTERNAL SIGNALS DO NOT LIGHT. EITHER TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR PUSHING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK BACK TO THE CENTER POSITION AND THEN PUSHING THE STALK BACK TO THE DESIRED LEFT/RIGHT INDICATOR. ALSO AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES. YOU USUAULLY HAVE TO RAPIDLY WORK THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON THE END OF THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, AND KIA REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

A FEW MONTHS BACK I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM. I WAS BEING TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE AND BATTERY TWICE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S THE PCM COMPUTER. THEY GOT A PCM AND REPLACED IT CHARGED AND WORKED FINE RIGHT AFTER BUT THE NEXT DAY IT CONTINUED TO HAVE CHARGING ISSUES. THERE HAVING TO RE ORDER ANOTHER NEW PCM. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. WE ARE FIXING THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE SHOWING UP AS BEING WRONG AND IT IS NOT WORKING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.. THERE'S MORE GOING ON HERE. EXATREMLY UNHAPPY BEING THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD (PROBLEM STARTED IN JANUARY)

MY MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY STOPPED PROJECTING. IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO SEE THE BACKUP CAMERA WHEN IN REVERSE. RESTARTING DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY KIA AS A FAULTY SYSTEM. WARRANTY ONLY COVERED IT UNTIL 36,000 MILES AND I'M AT 44,000. IT'S UNSAFE TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE BEHIND ME DUE TO THE LARGE STATURE OF MY VEHICLE. ALSO COULDN'T CONTROL BLUETOOTH OR PHONE CONNECTION TO ALLOW ME CONTACT TO SAFETY PERSONNEL UNLESS I WAS UNSAFE BY USING MY PHONE.

BOTH OF THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY 2016 KIA SEDONA DO NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY WHEN USED IN AUTOMATIC MODE. THEY DO NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND THE "DOOR OPEN" LIGHT AS WELL AS ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINS ON. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PUSH THE DOOR SHUT IN ORDER FOR IT TO LATCH. THE DOOR ALSO MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE. THIS OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY AND ON ANY TYPE OF GROUND (FLAT, HILL, ETC) ONE DOOR WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER BUT THE SECOND DOOR STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, UNFORTUNATELY.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT WORK. YOU MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT LIGKE YOU ARE TURNING AND IT WILL WORK. OR HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LEFT TURN SIGNAL AT NIGHT TIME AND WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL GOES OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. VERY HIGHLY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. THEY DO NOT SHINE OUT FAR ENOUGH EXSPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THEY ARE POINTING DOWN TO EARLY. TRIED ADJUSTING NO HELP. ALSO TRIED LES HEADLIGHTS HELPED A LITTLE BUT NOTHING TO REALLY SATISFY THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE TRAVELING.
