Kia Sedona Electric door fault

The passenger side rear door on our brand new Kia Sedona fails to close on a regular basis. On one occasion opening whilst the car was in transit with our 10 month old son and 2 and 3 year old daughters in the car. Thank goodness this happened whilst the car was traveling at low speed, god knows what the outcome may have been if my wife had been on the Motorway!

well, if you have a problem and have doubt, turn the power door switch off and put it in manual mode until u get to the dealer

Same issue here. I's been in the shop 8 times in 8 months. They claim to have fixed it each time. Within one day it's back to the same issue. Now are filing for a lemon law

We have the same problem on our 2007 Kia Sedona only ours opened while driving at 40mph and would not shut. Kia replaced modules and seven months later the same thing again. This time they won't pay for it. Could you image a child falling out of the car while driving. I will not pay for the repairs and I am going to contact proper officials. This is a design failure that can have catastrophic results, this problem makes Toyota look like a good company,

You bought yourself a Kia, what did you expect? It to be well-built? Stick with japanese vehicles.

The kid is thinking"dad why are you opening and closing the door so much, are you drunk again"?

Our Lexus GS Hybrid has all 4 electric open and close doors.

stop fucking about with it and get your ass back to the garage and show them that they have sold you a dodgy car or take the fuckers to court

We have the same problem with our kia Sedona 2006. The driver sliding door doesn't work. When the car is running for 5 minutes. The door works but the auto realease for the door doesn't work!!! So we have hold the handle till the door opens.

there is problems with every vehicles. EVEN Toyota, you wouldn't expect Toyota of all people but yes even them, they dont issues recalls when needed and a guy almost died because of a defect in his Toyota.
