2007 Kia Sedona Door Problem

UPDATE: After a couple attempts made by the dealership to identify the problem, they contacted KIA central division and were directed to readjust all the doors.

Since then, we have not had this problem.


We just bought this brand new 2007 Kia Sedona EX from Hagerstown Kia.

We have had it for a little over a month and since day one the passenger side door has had this problem.

Scenario: * Using any of the three methods to open the passenger side-door (key fob, ceiling button, door handle) * Door opens normally * Upon closing the door (using any method), the door closes, pauses and reopens about 6-12 inches * This scenario only occurs about 4% of the time and is hard to reproduce

We have the exact same problem with our brand new Sedona, with ours the door even opened of it's own accord whilst the car was moving!

My dealership contacted the main KIA repair division, and they suggested adjusting the doors (it appears that they were adjusted outwards by 1/4 inch or so).

We have not had the same problem since.

Ask your dealership to contact Hagerstown Kia Repair Division for information on the problem (tell them to ask for J.R.).

Roll your windows up, then try it. It's a safety feature.

The windows are rolled up. The safety feature is only when the sliding door windows are down.

We have had this same problem with our 2007 Kia Sedona. It has been in and out of the Kia shop on 4 separate occasions since November 2010, ever since the door came open while I was driving on the highway with 2 young children in the back. Now about to bring it back to the shop because the door cannot be opened from the outside. Frustrating.

I had the same problem with 05 Caravan SXT and problem was im black wiring bundle (on lower part of the van, right under the door, it bends every time door opens/closes). Once we replaced that problem was GONE!

There's a TSB on this, they replace both power door modules with an updated part. Mention this o your dealer or find a new dealer.

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

i don't know odyssey have power doors?!?!?!?

[nathanpitman]

Could you tell me more about your filing? What it involves, what you are asking for etc? We have a Kia Sedona with this same door problem and have had it in and out of the garage numerous times over the past 12 months and still it doesn't work.

i work at a kia dealership, and we just fixed one. we had to order new latches for both doors and a door module. then you have to call Kia Techline and have them walk the techs through an adjustment that they do 1 mm at a time (time consuming). then they'll recalibrate and relearn the door module. tech line will tell the techs how to do it. no promise this works for every van but this one is all better
