I have a 2008 kia Sedona van and have been having problems just recently with the head light bulbs burning out. I have had to replace the driver front head light bulb twice in the last 4 months. After just replacing the last bulb just a little over a month ago, my driver side brake tail light bulb is now out. Is there something wrong with a connection in the wiring with these bulbs? I have notice several kia Sedona's on the road that have blowen head light bulbs. Those bulbs are not cheap and they are also hard to find as well. This is a problem that kia should be addressing.
I replaced a blown 10 amp fuse on a dealer installed trailer wiring harness adapter. 15-20 minutes later I noticed a fire coming from driver's side rear light assembly. Removed fuse, removed lighting assembly, put out fire. In looking at damage, trailer harness adapter was melted along with several wires attached to it. Foam bumper padding caught fire and was melted. No visible body damage.
Automatic sliding doors on both the driver and passenger side do not work properly. At times they do not open using the back seat button and/or using the console button. At other times the doors do not lock into place and caused the open door alarm to sound. In addition, the plastic casing on the wires in the door cracked and the wires were damaged during normal opening/closing of the doors. Both the wiring and the casing had to be replaced on both doors with no coverage by kia.
