Right passenger slide door on minivan opened while my son was in the car and would not close. There is a recall on this and extended 15 year warranty but Kia wouldn-??t honor the electronic controller that burnt out but warranted the motor. Passenger can fall out or something can hurt them. Kia dealer confirmed this and I had to pay a large repair bill for there recall defect. I am afraid to take the car anywhere except local. I feel there recall repair caused this problem. First I took it in for the recall. Next time I used that door it got stuck open. Vehicle is garaged with approximately 30,000 miles on it.

All 4 doors on my Kia Sedona are now not opening from the outside. They stick really bad and it feels as if I pull any harder that that he handles will break off. I have 101K miles on the car so it is outside of its warranty. After looking online, this seems to be a huge issue with Kia's made around this same time. This is a huge safety concern because it is prohibiting me from entering or exiting the car and posses serious issues with safety of a child in the car
