1 Tailgate problem of the 2015 Kia Motor Sedona

Failure Date: 02/01/2021

I have been having issues with all my automated power doors to my 2015 kia Sedona sxl. Both sliding doors have been staying unlatched and open on their own while in vehicle is in motion and kia extended my warranty to fix it but my problem is that at the same time this all started happening my tailgate door latch also went bad and it stays open and opens while the vehicle is in motion as well. I've tried to get answers and also tried to have kia help me fix this problem, but it's way to big of a coincidence that my tailgate malfunctioned at the exact same time as the passenger and driver side sliding doors. It's been ongoing since February 2021. I have read in the kia forums that I'm not the only kia Sedona owner that is having the exact issues. This is not an isolated problem. It is very dangerous and I'm not happy at all.

3 Tailgate problem of the 2010 Kia Motor Sedona

Failure Date: 07/12/2018

There is no way to get out of the tailgate on this vehicle, and no way to open the tailgate at all. While sitting still, with the engine running and without the engine running, the tailgate will not unlock in any of the three unlocking modes: using the remote fob, using the key in the drivers door, or operating the unlock switch on the interior drivers door panel. There is no exterior key access on the tailgate, and no interior door release or unlocking mechanism. There is no way to get into, or out of, the tailgate without removing the interior tailgate panel. Internet searches indicate this is a known problem on this model. Is it legal to have no access to open the tailgate from inside the vehicle? the door locking mechanism is now silent when trying to get it to operate, and no longer clicks when attempting to unlock it. The owner's manual indicates the tailgate lock is on the same fuse as the rear sliding doors, and they continue to unlock as normal in all three unlocking modes described above.
