general problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Sedona - part 2

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.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 kia Sedona. The contact stated that there was an internal electrical failure and the rear doors unlocked without warning. In addition, the brake lights illuminated and the radio shorted in and out. Century kia of tampa (4340 w hillsborough Ave, tampa, FL 33614, (844) 757-2536) was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting for a response to receive an appointment for diagnostic testing and repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.

The contact owns a 2016 kia Sedona. While attempting to start the vehicle, the key failed to turn in the ignition. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer. The contact also stated that the rear hatch was difficult to open after being unlocked with the key fob. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 9,960.

About 1917 the power sliding doors stopped working correctly. The doors make a loud screaching sound when closing when stopped. & in motion. Doors do not close and lock completely and have to be close by pushing in the back where and fram meets. Got a recall on sliding doors. Went 3/22/21 and all that was done was to reprogram the computer. This didn t fix the problem at all. Call kia and was told , have to fix on own. Did call about issue in 2017 told it would cost over $1000. 00, couldn't afford. Also asked about why air bag light comes on and stays on and that the gas door button doesn t open. Have to get out and hit gas door to open. Thought that 100000 warrenty was to cover anything bumper to bumper. Why pay the extra for nothing.

My mother and her friend were driving approx. 35 miles per hour when the right rear wheel went off the road causing them to go into the frying pan river in basalt, CO. There was approx. 42. 1 degree slope. My mother was the passenger. We retrieved her pictures and video. She was video taping with her cell phone at the time of the accident. The passenger window was down. She said, "OH shit", and appeared to reach to remove her seatbelt. They went into the river. They were found at 4:30 pm with car submerged in water and both drowned. No damage to the car. The side airbags had gone off and the front windows were up with the airbags sticking out when they were found. The front airbags did not go off. My concern is that my mom knew she would get out but when she took a deep breath the airbags knocked her air out. And we know the windows were down but went up. If the electrical shorted out from being under water, why did the windows go up and not stay where they were, which was open. Also, the drivers seat moved forward after going into the water. And we question if airbags went off to early. Both the air bags deploying and windows going up impeded my mom getting out. The police report seems to question why the airbags went off also. There was a report that another kia Sedona was driving down the freeway and all the doors flew open. I'm worried that we will start seeing more and more electrical problems with kia.
