general problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Sedona

While driving car gas tank blew a hole and started on fire. Car then lost power while on fire while I was in traffic, luckily I was able to cut into a parking lot and people that were in traffic with me call 911. Fire department confirmed there was a hole in gas tank which sits right underneath driver side. Fire was only contained to where the gas tank and lines are. I have pictures.

Kia service dealer diagnosed high oil consumption on my car with heavy sounds. They recommend to replace whole engine but it's out of warranty. It has only 106k miles on it. I am afraid the car is posing safety issue as well and it has less miles on it. I filed complain with kia consumer corporate a case has been generated on their system 25759569 but no one had contacted me yet.

There was a sudden loss of power while in the middle of the highway. Further inspection resulted in low oil and metal flakes in the oil filter. At the time of initial loss of power there was absolutely zero warning or indication of any issues at all.

On June 6th 2024 my 2016 kia Sedona experienced sudden power loss accompanied by thick smoke out of the exhaust and a loud ticking while on a busy main intersection. Kia's gross negligence to recall its known troubled engines is causing needless highway incidents. From stolen cars, engine failures and now fires, this is the second kia I have had fail.

10-26-19 driving on hwy at 60 mph on sat. Night and I could tell the car had lost power to the engine. Coasted to an empty parking lot. Tried to crank. It would crank and then die. Lights still worked. There was a strong smell of gasoline when trying to crank. Had to have it towed 60 miles to home. Tried to crank the following day and smoke billowed out of the exhaust. Gasoline smell extremely strong.

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!.

I was driving going westbound on highway 84 in pennsylvania and hit a deer going 65mph. I pulled over to the side of the highway. I walked out to the mile marker and when I turned around my car was on fully engulfed in flames. Eventually my car blew up and I lost everything.

While pulling into my driveway going between 5-10 mph I applied the brake and the vehicle lunged forward into my garage door which was closed and damaged another car parked in the garage. If the other car was not there to stop it I may have been killed. I reported this to kia and the investigation only showed a blown fuse when they connected it to the tester. There are two other accidents that I know of with similar circumstances, please check into this before someone is killed or loses money due to something that was not their fault. By the way I was turning right into my driveway and my husband was backing out in his car when this took place and he saw the whole thing.
