PROBLEM #1. AT APPROXIMATELY 111,000 MILES MY SEDONA'S AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH PANEL...AND HAS STAYED ILLUMINATED EVER SINCE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT TO PROVOKE THIS LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. KIA OF DARTMOUTH (MA) SAID IT'S A DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT SENSOR THAT IS "BAD". COST TO REPAIR $274.80! WHY IS A "BAD" SENSOR NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER? IT'S FAULTY. THERE WAS NO MISUSE OR ABUSE BY THE CONSUMER, IN OTHER WORDS, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM? PROBLEM #2. AT APPROXIMATELY 108,000 MY SEDONA'S TPMS LIGHT AND ( ! ) LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH PANEL...AND HAVE STAYED ILLUMINATED SINCE. THE TIRES ARE INFLATED TO MANUFACTURE'S SPECIFICATIONS SO THERE IS NO CHANCE THAT THE TIRES ARE UNDER OR OVER INFLATED. AGAIN, THERE IS A "BAD" SENSOR(S). WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY SENSORS?

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD THUD. THE WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN CAREENING LEFT TOWARD THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN BRAKING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND EXIT SAFELY. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE POINTING IN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, AND THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL WAS MOVED SIGNIFICANTLY BACK IN ITS WELL TOWARD THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, IT WAS IMMEDIATELY CLEAR THAT THE FRONT LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL (CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V550000) ON THE LCA FOR THIS VEHICLE, LOCATED IN MICHIGAN, AND THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP. THIS FAILURE WAS AFTER THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. APPARENTLY THIS LCA DIDN'T MEET THE CRITERIA FOR REPLACEMENT, AND WAS "RUSTPROOFED" INSTEAD. THE RUSTPROOFING DID NOT PREVENT THIS LCA FROM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 104,000 MILES. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING FASTER, OR HAD THERE BEEN AN ONCOMING CAR, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE OR EVEN FATAL. I DID RECEIVE A MILD INJURY TO MY RIGHT WRIST WHEN THE WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE TENDON IS HYPER-EXTENDED AND REQUIRES THAT I WEAR A WRIST BRACE.

I TOOK MY KIA INTO THE DEALER FOR A RECALL CHECK ON MY CONTROL ARMS. THE DEALER FOUND OUT MY FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING WAS IN PIECES ALONG WITH THE BEARING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. I READ WHERE THE VAN HAD TO BE MADE BETWEEN DEC.20, 2005 AND MARCH 20, 2006. IF MY VAN WAS MADE LATER THEN THAT THEN THEY STILL DID NOT FIX THE CORROSION PROBLEM. I HAD TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ON A LATER MADE VAN. *TR

THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS (ESPECIALLY THE RIGHT SIDE) KEEPS BLOWING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED/CHANGED MORE THAN 6 TIMES SINCE OWING MY VAN. IT KEEPS BLOWING; RESEARCHED FOR RECALLS BUT THERE AREN'T NONE. LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL 2006 KIA SEDONA'S. THIS LAST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WISCONSIN FROM MASSACHUSETTS AND MY LIGHT WENT OUT. IT WAS A SCARY SITUATION BECAUSE IT MADE THE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I DIDN'T HAVE MY LOW-BEAM AND WAS FORCED TO USE MY HIGH BEAM. I WAS PULLED OVER BY POLICE BECAUSE I WAS USING MY HIGH BEAM; I HAD TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION AND TOLD HIM THAT I WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AS SOON AS AREA MECHANICS OPENED (THIS WAS AT 4:00AM). I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS IS A HAZARD.PROBLEM STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASING MY VAN WITH 11K MILES. *TR

THE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND PROBABLY ONLY WORK 15% OF THE TIME, HOWEVER BEGINNING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO THE BULBS HAVE NEVER BOTH WORKED AT THE SAME TIME (MEANING WHEN YOU TURN THE SWITCH TO THE LEFT THE LEFT SIGNAL WILL TURN ON BUT WHEN YOU THEN TURN THE SWITCH TO THE RIGHT IT DOES NOT WORK). THE BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES YET THIS NEVER FIXES THE PROBLEM. THE TURN SIGNAL BULBS HAVE ACTUALLY ONLY BEEN BURNED OUT ONE TIME, PROVING THERE IS SOME FORM OF A SHORT. ALL OF THE OTHER LAMPS, WHETHER IT BE HEAD LAMPS (LOW OR HIGH BEAM), FOG LIGHTS,TAIL LIGHTS, RUNNING LIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHT OR TAG LIGHTS, KEEP BURNING OUT BULBS. EVERY 6 WEEKS I'M HAVING TO REPLACE A BULB. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION EXPENSIVE! WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THERE HAS BEEN POSTED DUE TO THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY KIA HAS NOT FOUND/CREATED A SOLUTION FOR THESE ISSUES. THIS REALLY MAKES ME NOT WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER KIA VEHICLE. ALSO, I'VE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH ONE OF THE ELECTRIC SLIDING SIDE DOORS. ONE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE ON IT'S OWN. IF YOU PULL GENTLY TO GET IT STARTED CLOSING, IT WILL THEN CLOSE THE REST OF THE WAY BY ITSELF. THERE'S NOTHING INTERNALLY BLOCKING THE RELEASE PIN FROM DISENGAGING. THIS PROBLEM JUST STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM BROKE IN HALF AS THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING TO A STOP (10-20 MPH) AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AFTER THE INCIDENT. AFTER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CONTROL ARM HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND FAILED. ALL REMAINING CONTROL ARMS WERE INSPECTED. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS ALSO IN NEED OF REPAIR BEFORE AN EVENTUAL FAILURE WOULD OCCUR. *TR UPDATED 10/22/13*LJ UPDATED 10/25/2013 *JS
