WHEN THE ABS BRAKES ACTIVATE WHILE GOING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED DURING SNOWY OR RAINY WEATHER THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT'S VERY SCARY. VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, BUT THEY DIDN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. THE MILEAGE VARIES. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT THE VEHICLE HAD 210,000 MILES

MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 68K MILES ON IT, AND BEGAN LEAKING OIL WITHIN THE PAST MONTH (AND DISPLAYING THE LOW PRESSURE ERROR LIGHT). THE LEAKS THEMSELVES VARIED BETWEEN SMALL DRIPS TO SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS LEFT IN PARKING LOTS. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN RUN THE HEATER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME DUE TO THE FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN FROM THE BURNING OIL. WITH 3 KIDS UNTIL 12YRS, IT WAS VERY UNSAFE. UPON BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE, I WAS ADVISED THAT NOT ONLY THE OIL PAN GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL AS WELL. THIS IS ALARMING SINCE THE REAR MAIN TYPICALLY DOES NOT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OVER/NEAR 100K MILES. THANKFULLY, MY WARRANTY IS COVERING THE REPAIRS, AS THIS COULD HAVE COST ME OVER $1K TO REPLACE (DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REMOVED TO GET TO THE SEAL).

I HAVE REPORTED TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH KIA MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING UNUSUALLY SENSITIVE TO FOOT PRESSURE. THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE THAT CAUSES ME TO ACCELERATE MORE THAN I WISH TO. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN MY DECADES OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. FROM A STOP, I HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON PRESSING DOWN EXTREMELY GENTLY OR ELSE I CAN SPIN MY WHEELS AND LURCH FORWARD UNINTENTIONALLY. WHILE DRIVING I CANNOT HELP BUT SPEED UP MORE THAN I WANT TO DO. IT IS DANGEROUS AND WASTES FUEL TO BE CONTINUALLY BACKING OFF FOOT PRESSURE AFTER THE OVERLY SENSITIVE (LOOSE FEELING) GAS PEDAL SPEEDS UP THE ENGINE. I ASKED TO TAKE THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DIRECTOR WITH ME. HE HAD ME DRIVE ANOTHER KIA SEDONA, WHICH IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FELT AND ACTED SIMILARLY TO MINE. THEREFORE, THIS IS A GENERAL SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SO FAR KIA MOTORS HAS CONFRONTED. MY DEALERSHIP DID CHECK OUT MY GAS PEDAL AND THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY ABOUT HOW IT PERFORMED. THERE WAS NO FIX FOR MY PROBLEM. THE KIA SEDONA HAS A PEDAL THAT ACTS DIFFERENTLY THAN OTHER KIA VEHICLES. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO OWNS A 2012 KIA SUV THAT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH, AT ALL. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE UP POSITION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE THROUGH A COMBINATION OF BRAKING AND SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL UNTIL THE PEDAL CAME BACK UP ON IT'S OWN. TIME ENCOMPASSED WAS APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS. TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD WAS LIGHT WHICH MADE THE SITUATION MUCH MORE MANAGEABLE. *TR

The contact owns a 2012 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that upon purchase of the vehicle, the sliding door would not close as needed and would independently open while driving without warning. The contact also stated that the electrical power mirrors would also operate independently without warning. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V101000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and took the vehicle to the dealer for the repair. The contact was also provided an estimate for the repair of other vehicle failures. Two days after the repair while driving 50 MPH, the contact depressed the brake pedal as he approached a stop light. The light turned green and the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle stalled in the middle of the intersection. The contact was forced to make an illegal U-turn. The contact turned the key to the off position; however, the engine continued to run with several unknown warning lights on the instrument panel. The contact saw steam coming from the engine and upon inspection, the contact saw the radiator cap blow off as the vehicle loss motive power. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer where they informed him that the axle shaft, water pump, crankshaft pulley, alternator, oil pan gasket, drive belts, and battery all need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer and was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 69,107.

THIS IS UNRELATED TO THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FUEL RAIL The electronic door locks fail, (mine are not fully automatic, but when you turn on the key you can hear the safety locks trying to engage before permitting the vehicle to move - they do not work. Worse even with the key, the doors will not consistently lock or unlock. Doors can become locked to the point that you can not manually open them, creating a fire hazard for occupants. Additionally, there is NO safety or emergency release on the back hatch. if you are inside when this locking aberration occurs, you must exit via a side (if it HAPPENS to be working) or front door (again, if it happens to be working. I fail to understand why this is not a major safety issue and why no recall has been issued. There are literally 1000s of such reports on various car forums. With at least one registered here: CS1603A (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10090051-5448.pdf Confirmed via independent service center. Records available upon request. No insurance inspection and no warning alerts occur.

THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT LATCH VIA POWER CONTROL. IT WOULD CLOSE MANUALLY TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO RE-OPEN AGAIN (REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO PULL THE DOOR OPEN), HOWEVER OVERHEAD LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND THE CAR WAS BEEPING. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOOR SLID OPEN 2X, BOTH WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, SLOWLY, ON A SIDE ROAD. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THE DOOR OPENED I ENGAGED THE CHILD LOCK FUNCTION WHICH SEEMED TO HELP. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME DRIVING SLOWLY ON SIDE STREETS. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND ARRANGED A TOW TO THE DEALER FOR THIS WEEKEND. I CALLED KIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS NOTIFIED MY CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN FIXED FOR A HOOD LATCH RECALL BUT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR A PASSENGER DOOR LATCH.

ON JUNE 5, 2020 AND JUNE 14, 2020, RESPECTIVELY, TWO YOKOHAMA YK580 225/70R16 TIRES INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRES WERE APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON THEM (THE WARRANTY IS FOR 60,000 MILES). ONE EVENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. BOTH TREAD SEPARATION EVENTS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE REPAIR OF WHICH WAS ESTIMATED AT $3,195. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE EVENTS PUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AT RISK. YOKOHAMA REFUSED TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE TIRES BEING UNAVAILABLE FOR FORENSIC EXAMINATION. THIS WAS IN SPITE OF MY PROVIDING PHOTOGRAPHS OF BOTH EVENTS CLEARLY SHOWING TREAD SEPARATION HAD OCCURRED. I GUESS YOKOHAMA EXPECTED ME TO CARRY TWO DAMAGED TIRES BACK FROM THE VACATION (AND LEAVE MY FAMILY BEHIND TO NOT OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE?).

WE DISCOVERED A FUEL LEAKAGE AFTER GETTING GAS, BUT DID NOT DISCOVER THIS LEAK UNTIL AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM THE GAS STATION. THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND WE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WENT DOWN RATHER QUICKLY. AFTER GETTING HOME FROM THE GAS STATION, WE NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS WAS STILL VERY STRONG AND THAT WAS WHEN WE NOTICED THE LEAK, ON OUR DRIVEWAY. IN THE TIME THAT WE WERE DRIVING, WE HAD BEEN LEAKING GASOLINE THE WHOLE TIME, AND COULD HAVE LOST OUR LIVES ON OUR WAY HOME. WE TOOK OUR KIA TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL RAIL WAS DAMAGED: IT HAD A CRACK ALONG ONE SIDE.
