Driver side sliding door does not close completely. Must push on back side for it to close. Blinkers don't work properly. Put on left blinker and right blinker turns on. Occasionally it will work correctly. I had the door recall fixed and the service person thought it would fix all the problems but it did not. Then a few months later the brake lights stopped working. Only the top brake light works on the window.

While driving when I use my turn signals the headlights will either flash high beams or completely go out then back on. Also my driver's side sliding door doesn't shut completely with the power door option this just started around the 100k mile mark.

Before starting the car. The sliding drivers side door continuously will make a grinding sound when closing and then not latch. After this the only way to open the door is with the button on the ceiling. I am not able to open the door manually. It now happens everytime I close the door. I can submit a video.

The side door does not close all the way and makes a loud noise. We brought it in for this before about 3 monthis ago and it started doing the same thing again. I have read many complaints about this. The door is not over used. Now the vehicle has 43000 miles on it and it is out of warranty. We have 4 children and are afraid for their saftey with a door that does not close all the way. I feel if it was fixed right the first time there wouldn't be a reoccurring issue. Thank you.

The vehicle caught on fire while parked in the driveway and burned to the ground. We contacted kia motors regarding this. It took them weeks before they sent out a representative to inspect the vehicle. Upon inception of the vehicle they simply denied that the engine fire was caused by faulty parts and declined responsibly for the it!

The sliding door motor does not close the door properly. This is not a warranty issue only a safety issue not covered by kia. The proper closing of the side door is not their concern.

I own a 2016 kia sedona lx. Vehicle is stationary. I began having problems with the driver's side sliding door not latching when closing a few months ago. The thing is, I rarely ever use that side for loading or unloading. More times than not I use the passenger side (curb side) door. When the door is attempting to latch, it makes a very weird sound like it is groaning. It closes, but does not latch properly. According to the dashboard, the door is still open. I took it to the original dealer and they said I need to replace the motor and cable at a cost of over $700. I've also had a fuel injector go bad $580. These situations make me wonder about your "reliability" statements. I found a technical service bulletin (sa-210) relating to sedonas, 2015~2016 model years, group bod, number 116, dated november, 2015. It describes what to do to correct "a vehicle which may exhibit an inoperative power sliding door." my van, according to the VIN, falls within the dates that are mentioned in the bulletin (1/6/15 - 7/6/15). To me, this seems like the bulletin pertains to my vehicle. The psd is definitely not operating correctly. Since it is not operating correctly in total, I submit therefore, that the latch is inoperable.

Both of the sliding doors on my 2016 kia sedona do not close completely when used in automatic mode. They do not latch properly and the "door open" light as well as all interior lights remains on. I have to physically push the door shut in order for it to latch. The door also makes a loud noise when attempting to close. This occurs when stationary and on any type of ground (flat, hill, etc) one door was repaired by the dealer but the second door started having this issue after the warranty expired, unfortunately.

My 2016 kia sedona lx is having issues with the sliding doors not closing all the way. The driver side sliding door was worked on when we bought it but it has reverted to not locking once closed every time we close it. The passenger sliding door is still random. It's only when we have them opening/closing with the power option. When the power option is turned off and we manually open/shut the doors, they do latch and there is no issue.

This is an ongoing incident and issue. The motor on the sliding doors is not high quality and goes out very quickly. In my case in less than 2 years, in other cases I have read online some are in less than a year. When the motor is going out, the doors will make a loud noise upon closing and appear closed. However they are not properly latched and therefore not properly securing the passengers inside.

The van sliding doors do not close properly. When driving, the door ajar alert will light up on the dashboard. We have to stop the car and push on the doors to get them to close completely. The doors make a loud groaning sound when they are closing and do not close all the way. The doors will re-open even after you have attempted to close the door.

On iihs website it mentions that kia reprogrammed the auto lock feature so that the doors would stay closed in a crash and reduce intrusion. However if someone is dropped if the lock is disengaged while the engine is running, perhaps while dropping off a passenger, the door does not lock again when driving. This could defeat the purpose of the auto lock feature.
