Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On multiple occasions my headlights will turn on or off when using turn signals or just hitting a bump. This is extremely dangerous as I live in a rural area with no street lights. This issue has been going on for several months now and is becoming more frequent. My 2015 Sedona only has 90k miles and I would not expect to have an issue like this at this time.”
NHTSA complaint #11222033, filed 2019-06, 8,900 miles“As consistently as multiple times each day, when using the blinker function on my 2015 Kia Sedona. The headlights will turn off completely. I have to wiggle the device to restore headlight function. It appears to have loose connectivity or wire, but is a significant safety issue when driving at dark.”
NHTSA complaint #11388132, filed 2021-01, 110,000 miles“My head lights blinked three times then went out on low setting, high beams work only. Bulbs have been replaced four times and after about a month they blink and then go out- this has happened each time while driving at night time on way home from work with my children in the car and this is unacceptable. Especially when seeing how many forums are online about this issue with kias. All times I have been on back country roads going home from work at 11 pm.”
NHTSA complaint #11291111, filed 2019-12, 126,000 miles“Takata recall: our 2015 Kia Sedona's when in motion or stationary, the turn signal component does not signal the direction we have selected. When I choose left turn it signals right turn. I have to play with the turn signal lever about 10 times before it may or may not signal the proper direction. This is extremely dangerous as the cars around us think we are planning to go right instead of left each intersection. Please issue a recal on these turn signal components for 2015 Kia Sedona minivans.”
NHTSA complaint #11221961, filed 2019-06, 69,000 miles“Headlights go off for .5 to 5 seconds when I turn on the blinkers on while driving at night causing total darkness. I do not know if the tail/brake lights are affected”
