“We purchased a 2007 Kia Sedona brand new off of the showroom floor and we have had problems with the power sliding doors opening all the time we would be traveling at 65mph and the doors would come open on us with children in the vehicle. It was brought it 6 times for repair and continued to open at any given time.”
NHTSA complaint #10247243, filed 2008-10, 6,000 miles“I own a 2007 Kia Sedona minivan. I contacted the dealer concerning the rear sliding passenger doors. The doors had opened on three separate occasions during a family trip to and from ohio in which my two granddaughters were riding in their safety seats. The van was taken in to the dealership and I was told they had no complaints concerning the doors but that they would check the doors. The dealership stated they made door adjustments to both doors. Again the doors opened and I took the vehicle back to the dealer. …”

NHTSA complaint #10399207, filed 2011-05, 70,000 miles“The drivers side automatic door doesn't open at all now when you push the button inside. It acts like it is catching on something so it doesn't open. If you pull the handle, outside, it sometimes will finish opening or closing by itself. But you have to give it that pull to get it past the catching point. You never know if it will run automatically or if you have to manually pull the door open, its like it shuts off or on. If you have to open it manually inside , you really have to push against the door hard to open it up. …”
