2007 Kia Sedona owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Kia sedona. While driving 35 MPH, the hood popped up and smashed the windshield. The contact pulled the vehicle over, closed the hood, and drove home slowly. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v389000 (latches/locks/linkages). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

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. The gentleman stated he knew what the problem was and he would insure it was corrected. This time I was told it was a sensor. Again the door opened when I took the van back I was told "mrs. Davis we can not find a problem with the doors I don't know what to tell you." I was

Subframe bushings around the bolts that hold the engine/transmission have gone bad and my warranty was up at 60,000. I have had other cars longer without this problem. I have had this car for almost 3 years. I have read other reviews of this problem with Kia sedona's subframe and was wondering if this should be recalled. It is currently at the service station and the mechanic has told me at no point they would have not checked this for any service, only if we made them aware of the problem.

My husband became locked out of our vehicle with it running and our 2 year old daughter inside. *tr

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. *tr

This morning my wife was riding down the road in our 2007 Kia: sedona doing 55 miles an hour, when the side electric door just opened up on it's own. (it was locked.) our six year old grandson was sitting there with his seat belt on (thank god). As you can guess, it scared the hell out of him and my wife. Last year, this same thing happened a few times with the other side door. (one time, I was sitting at the door coming back from west point, ny.) as of now, Kia is having problems getting parts. (it might be because of volume of problems.) they say it will take a week to get parts. (Kia does not supply a free rental.) *tr

Power doors no longer work, they do not stay latched while driving. Three times the rear passenger door has come unlatched and started opening while I was driving with my kids in the back. I was able to pull over open the door all the way then re-close it. But the problem has persisted. *tr

I own a 2007 Kia sedona lx. I have had it since nov if 2009. I m replacing my battery every six month due to the fact that the vehicle has a draw and has had since the day I bought it.. It was under warranty by Kia and I have taken it there complaining about this problem. I was told that when they test my charging system it has the normal factory draw. I took it there again and was told it is working fine and not to return. They made me feel crazy. I have been fighting this problem for 4 years. And have been buying batteries every six months. Now that my vehicle is no longer under warranty, Kia has magically found a problem with it. Upon fixing the problem, the vehicle still drains the battery dead over a period of 2 days! I have called Kia headquarters in irvine california. They haven?t b

I have handed over my car for repairing on 09-23-2020 which is still not fixed and still lying with horne Kia service centre gilbert, arizona. They have messed up my car was diagnosed twice in a gap of 2 days. Horne Kia wants to cover up their technician (whom they call the best in their team) they have mess my engine and sending me a second quote to change the engine. On the first week october 2020, I drove my car for 15 miles after collecting from horne Kia gilbert and experienced bunch or new problems on the road. 1. The check engine light was on 2. There was heavy vibration and noise inside my car 3. My car would randomly halt in the middle of the road, while in drive mode. Since then, my car is still lying with horne Kia gilbert, arizona. I have attached all the email

When you press gas pedal and car accelerate the gas pedal gets stuck it happens to me a couple times this month I believe the car needs to be recall for the gas pedal thank you

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 Kia sedona. The contact noticed that the computer in the vehicle would sometimes accelerate on its own. The first instance occurred while test driving the vehicle. The vehicle accelerated when he removed his foot from the brake pedal. The dealer stated that the failure was caused by the vehicle being parked on the sales lot for months. Two weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the failure recurred. While driving in reverse at 20 MPH, the contact crashed into a fencepost due to the failure. He took the vehicle to the dealer nine times for a diagnostic, but no error codes could be found. The manufacturer did not assist. The current mileage was 42,833 and failure mileage was 30,193.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Kia sedona. While driving at approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle accelerated independently. The brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. In order to stop the vehicle, it had to be restarted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.

While driving on the interstate with cruise control activated the vehcile experianced an uncommanded deceleration with no response to pressing the gas pedal. With no left hand medium to pull over to, this left only the right medium as an alternative. Navigating to the right without acceleration made this extreamly dangerous in miami traffic. Once on the medium the vehicle was turned off and restarted, reactivating the system. Dealer indicates the throttle position sensor is intermittanly defective causing the throttle to default to idle mode and deactivating throttle commands. I am of the opinion this is an unsafe condition and the throttle should default to a manual input if the sensor becomes discrepant. *tr

We have had several problems with this vehicle. We just replaced both the rear and front sub bushings. Our mechanic said this problem should have never occurred on a vehicle this young. We only have one sliding door that functions right now. The driver side sliding door does not work unless you physically pull it open and shut. I have been reading the same complaints from several 2007 Kia owners. Why has there been no recall issued? *tr

The sliding door opens while driving. Some of our groceries flew out and just missed a man waiting for the bus. This along with latching problems and auto door opening issuies. Have replaced many parts and spent many dollars trying to fix. I was told the problems were because I live on a gravel road and dust is caking on the motors. I spent 370 dollars today to get the door just to stay latched!!! I was told to spray water into my door once a week and once a month to take the door apart and spray water and re grease. Both sides have the same issue. Why has this not been a recall. If my kid was in the car and fell out heads would roll. If my groceries had hit the man waiting for the bus I would have been sued. I went on line to see if other owners had similar issues and there was so many th

The front windshield wiper linkage easily comes loose, causing loss of functionality for the front wipers. The cause is the nut connecting the linkage to the motor coming loose and popping off, disengaging the linkage from the motor. This has happened to the same vehicle twice: the first time (early 2008), we took the vehicle to the dealer, who repaired the linkage but refused to cover it under the vehicle's bumper-to-bumper warranty, saying it was caused by running the wipers when they were stuck in ice. The second time (december 4, 2008), we fixed the problem ourselves after the dealer informed us that they would not be able to see the vehicle until the following monday. I feel that this is a significant safety issue. We were fortunate that both incidents occurred when the vehic

I was driving down a country highway at 55mph in pouring rain at about 7:00pm, dark. The windshield wipers were on constantly however not on the highest setting. I went around a curve and the wipers just stopped. No warning, no noise, nothing, just stopped. Luckily no one was around me and I could get to the side of the road. My husband looked at it when we got it home and it appears that the linkage has sheared off. *tr

I have this Kia sedona since september 2007. It has a constant squealing on the brakes I took it twice so far into two different dealerships to have them checked out they say is a "normal noise". Today I experienced a grinding/pulsating noise coming from the brakes when I pushed them to come to a stop sign. I was afraid I cannot stop. I am going again tomorrow to have it checked, but I know the answer. Please help! *tr

I have a 2007 Kia sedona with 6,000 miles on it. I was driving it and all of a sudden the check engine light started flashing and the vehicle had severe misfires. I took it to the dealer the next day and it cleared up on the way but check engine light remained on. They told me it was good and there was a technical service bulletin out for the check engine light. Well later that day check engine light came back on. *tr

My 2007 Kia sedona minivan has 18,000 miles and has two major issues. First, a grinding noise in the front end attributed by a mechanic to new front end bearings. Second, a check-engine code which is causing the rough idle based off of faulty o2 sensors. Both items were diagnosed by a Kia certified garage - gary rome Kia in enfield, ct. I don't believe front end bearings should fail on a 2007 vehicle. Also, there is a technical service bulletin for the o2 sensors. According to mechanics at gary rome Kia - both issues are "very common with these minivans." *tr
