Unknown. . . So whenever it gets hot in the summertime lately. My car has an issue starting sometimes it doesn't start and I've taken it in have the mechanic look at it. They can't figure out what's going on with that. They say that it's known issue that they've had and they told me to bang on the relay inside my vehicle. And sometimes that starts up right away and other times it takes a little bit for my car to start. They could not figure out what was causing it and sometimes all of my lights on my dashboard light up my air bag, abs, check engine. Those will light up and I think it's something to do with the electrical or the fuel system. I don't know, I've replaced parts on it and I'm still having the issue. I don't know what is going on. I've replaced some fuses and they've blown so that's why I'm thinking it's something to do with the electrical. My mechanic couldn't figure out what it was and he says he has had many kias have the same issue.

The car gets this random smell of burning plastic. When this happens theres s crackling sound that comes from the dash board. Also the car randomly doesnt start. The lights and radio will work but the car does nothing when you turn the key this seems to happen mostly after the burning smell. I have replaced the battery, fuses and relay switches and nothing works. I've had it at the mechanic and they haven't been able to find the cause. It's very scary smelling burning plastic and hearing crackling while driving down the road. I'm stuck paying for a car I'm to scared to drive.
Power sliding doors, won't work, then work but won't close completely. Having issues with both sides. More the passenger side than the driver side.
Intermittent no start condition.
While my kia Sedona was parked in the driveway. Had been parked about an hour when smoke suddenly started coming from under the hood. Soon, the entire front end was on fire and local fire department came and put the fire out. Vehicle was a total loss. Kia coorperate says it's not their problem.
While parked the brake tail lights stay on; while driving the cruise control malfunctions, and esc light indicator illuminates and stays on. It is the same problems as the recall NHTSA #13v114000 and the kia recall #sc098, but my VIN number apparently isn't listed as one that is affected, which it is! I have noticed it a couple of months ago, but now they all are getting worse. I did not know it was a recall problem.
Car won't start sometimes, unless you tap the fuze box under the steering column, then it starts. There seems to be an intermittent electrical connection somewhere. This is a safety hazard if you stall in traffic and can't get the car started. The problem is also reported by other owners on the internet. Please require kia to do a safety recall to fix this problem before someone gets hit and killed. This problem has happened many times. Thank you. Dean stamp, deanstamp@hotmail. Com.

Our 2007 low mileage kia had been parked for over 24 hrs. While sitting in our driveway not running, no keys in ignition, caught fire and burned to the ground. The fire travelled to my storage building. We lost everything in our storage and our vehicle. Kia assumes no fault. Attached is fire department report and pics of the damage.
Some electoral problems are happening. When driving or parked the brake lights appear in flashing manner and during that 5 second time it will lock and unlock my windows and if I am using my suppers they stop working sometimes. Also sometime the windows dont work and thebradio also messes up and changes station with out me touching it. Thisbhas been an ongoing thing for ag least 3 years. Also it use to not startvat forb2 days and then itbwoukdbstart with no help. I woukd come throuhh the pasengers side and startbit fine. Lots if electric issues.

Power doors no longer work, they do not stay latched while driving. Three times the rear passenger door has come unlatched and started opening while I was driving with my kids in the back. I was able to pull over open the door all the way then re-close it. But the problem has persisted.
While driving down the freeway at 65 mph, the driver's side sliding door opened up while my 8 month old grand-daughter was in the seat next to the opened door, thankfully secured in her car seat. I am surprised to see that no recall has been issued for this after reading so many other complaints of this exact incident!.
I have read several complaints about this same thing I have experienced now on three separate occasions. I too have suddenly lost power and the esc light and check engine light comes on. The gas pedal is virtually dead, you push the pedal to the floor and all you get is about 1500 rpm and about 20 mph. If you pull over and turn the car off and re-start it, it will work. Very dangerous to be going down the road and suddenly lose power.
I have been having an intermittent "non-start" issue with my car. I would turn the key and nothing. The lights would go on, radio would go on, but the car wouldn't do anything towards cranking and starting. No clicking noise, nothing. I would get out of the car open and close some doors and most of the time it would start. Also, I was driving on the highway when the esc off light came on. Whenever I stopped it would go off until I got back on the highway again. I had my mechanic plug it in to see if any error codes show, but there was nothing. I checked online and found a recall for these exact issues tied to the stop lamp switch, but when I took the car to kia dealership they said they had fixed the recall a couple years earlier. I bought a new stop lamp switch myself, (genuine kia part, not generic,) and had it replaced again. (cheap part of and installation. ) I then went on road trip and nothing was fixed. Esc off light was on nearly the whole time and I had a non-start during trip. There has to be another issue involved here. I live in new york city so I hardly ever am driving on highways, so road trips was only time I would see esc off light and I rarely if ever use cruise control, so I don;t know if I would have the cruise control issue tied to this standard group of issues either.
The brake lights remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released and the electronic stability control (esc) malfunction light is on. The brake lights remaining on caused the battery to drain.

When brake pedal is depressed,the brake lights stay on. Electronic stability control malfuctions. Cruise control sometimes will not deactivate when brake pedal is depressed.
There was a recall for 2007 kia Sedona regarding 2007 kia Sedona recall, item affected: exterior lighting:brake lights:switch, date announced: 4/17/2009, affecting vehicles made 9-20-2006 thru 11-20-2006, however my vehicle was made 11-28-2006, everything on the recalls describes what my vehicle was experiencing. (the stop lamp switch in the affected vehicles may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause the brake lights to remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released. A stop lamp switch malfunction may also affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock feature so the transmission shifter would not be able to be shifted out of the park position. It may also cause the electronic stability control (esc) malfunction light to illuminate, and it may not deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is depressed. ) kia customer service said they would not cover my problem because they stated it was fixed with the previous models and all models manf. After 11-20-2006. They advised me to file a complaint with you.
The rear right door, (power operated) no longer responds to the controls. I have to pull out manually before the power will engage. It feels like it is stuck on something but there is nothing in the way.
Occasionally, the power sliding door on the drivers side closes and then reopens about 6-12" and has to be closed by hand. There have been several times when the same door opens all the way and it can't be closed, either by power or by hand. It will remain open until it gets ready for you to close it. The time frame varies but usually 10-15 minutes. Several times, while driving with all of the doors closed and locked, the same sliding door will open a couple of inches and I have to stop and manually close it. The van has been in the shop several times and each of the described incidents still happen from time to time. The repair technicians cannot duplicate the problem so no corrective action can be taken. It's just a matter of time before someone falls out of the vehicle while it is moving and is either severely injured of killed.
The drivers side automatic door doesnt open at all now when you push the button inside. It acts like it is catching on something so it doesnt open. If you pull the handle, outside, it sometimes will finish opening or closing by itself. But you have to give it that pull to get it past the catching point. You never know if it will run automaticly or if you have to manually pull the door open, its like it shuts off or on. If you have to open it manually inside , you really have to push against the door hard to open it up. When you pull it manually it pulls easier, outside, than if you had the auto turned off. But we dont have the problem with it popping open while driving. Just pops out of the latch sometimes when it does auto close and it beeps and lets you know the door isnt completely closed. Just started having the passenger side starting to catch a little bit now, but it does completely run automaticlly once you give it a little help. Havent taken it in because the warranty is done and cant afford to pay possibly hundreds to fix it.
This morning my wife was riding down the road in our 2007 kia: Sedona doing 55 miles an hour, when the side electric door just opened up on it's own. (it was locked. ) our six year old grandson was sitting there with his seat belt on (thank god). As you can guess, it scared the hell out of him and my wife. Last year, this same thing happened a few times with the other side door. (one time, I was sitting at the door coming back from west point, NY. ) as of now, kia is having problems getting parts. (it might be because of volume of problems. ) they say it will take a week to get parts. (kia does not supply a free rental. ).
Van caught on fire while driving.
