Electrical System problem #1

The contact owns a 2019 kia Sedona. The contact stated that the heat and a/c control knobs had melted twice, and the contact had purchased and personally replaced the entire control panel. Additionally, the contact stated that there was an abnormal strong fuel odor coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the low-pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors were replaced on separate occasions. However, the failure recurred while leaving the dealer. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was determined that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced; however, after the repair, the vehicle started making abnormal sounds. Additionally, the contact stated that the abnormally strong fuel odor had worsened. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who informed the contact that no diagnostic trouble code was retrieved, and the contact was advised to pick up the vehicle. The contact expressed safety concerns that the vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the persistent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Electrical System problem #2

I have needed to replace the drivers side brake light almost every 3 months. I have seen many kia Sedonas with that brake light out.

Electrical System problem #3

I had to replace the left brake light 4 times already. I see other kia Sedonas that have the same brake light out all the time.

Electrical System problem #4

Purchased new. @ 7400 miles while driving on the highway it smelled like something was burning. Took it to dealership who stated cylinder head was leaking antifreeze. Entire engine had to be rebuilt (all heads/gaskets exchanged). 7800 miles fluid levels bottomed out. Dealer stated car hadn't �burped� from gasket repair. 9300 miles while city driving the blind spot collision warnings started yelling. I placed the car in park and turned it off. When I turned it back on the car said possible transmission failure and I could not shift. Popped the shift lock release to get vehicle into drive to bring for service. Dealer stated inhibitor switch failed causing the issues with the blind spot collision warnings and the shift lockout. Unacceptable in new vehicle under 10k miles.
