What owners say
The doors will not latch and randomly open while driving! This is a severe safety hazard as my kids are passengers in the van.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 kia sedona. The contact stated that the rear passenger door handle fractured when a child attempted to open the door. Also, the power door locks did not operate in hot weather and the driver's side door opened automatically when the window was rolled down. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to grieco kia of delray beach (2255 s federal hwy, delray beach, fl 33483, 866‑858‑7513) and the door handle was replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and offered to repair one door. The doors were not all repaired. The failure mileage was 81,500.
