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.

Vehicle keeps losing all power while driving. This last time it happened when I was turning onto a busy street! the first time the mechanic replaced the alternator. That lasted 3 days. The mechanic thought it was a defective part so he replaced it. That lasted another three days until we lost all power again. This time the mechanic did some more research and replaced the instrument cluster along with a third alternator. The van ran for two days this time. As of writing this my vehicle has been in the shop for two weeks. The mechanic has told me that with the research he has done, this is a common issue with Kia and nobody seems to have a solid answer as to what to do to fix the problem. I was told that some vehicles are fine for weeks others for months and then the van dies without warning. Please help! I need a reliable vehicle. Thank you. Also, when I say the vehicle loses power I mean all power, no lights, no instrument panel, no gauges, no idiot lights, no windows, no shifting of tranny. It will go 2 or 3 mph down the road.

Parking sensor failed and my husband was in a accident, in our now 3 week old 2011 Kia Sedona, they sold us the floor model, which had to be jumpstarted we thought nothing of it, took it in bc low gas milege, and bc the door was lose, then 2 days ago my husband was backing out of a spot the alarm never sounded, he is fine so is the other driver, well we went to walmart and went to back out and the sensor was going crazy, so I got out and nothing was there but when I sttood directly behind the car the alarm never sounded, then I backed my husband out and hoped in, the alarm started to sound again. We have 3 children, we got this car bc we new it would be a safe choice but we have not had it long and are really upset by all of this.
