STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT I DROVE TO WORK (APPROX 25 MILES) AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WITH NO INCIDENT. AFTER PARKING I ENTERED MY WORKPLACE. DURING LUNCH I GOT IN THE VEHICE AND BEGAN TO TRAVEL TO A NEARBY REASTAURANT. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE VHEICLE'S HOOD BECAME UNLATCHED AND OPENED. THE HOOD OPENED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE HOOD LIFT STRUT SUPPORTS BROKE, ALLOWING THE HOOD TO OPEN, OVER EXTEND, OBSTRUCT MY VISION, AND STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD. UPON STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD THE GLASS SHATTERED. I SLOWLY PULLED TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT, TOOK A PICTURE WITH MY PHONE,AND CLOSED THE HOOD. I LATER CALLED KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-333-4542 AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER OF 13015302. I WAS ADVISED TO PROCEED TO AN AUTHORIZED KIA DEALEARSHIP AND BE SEEN FOR NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V-389. IF THE LATCH WAS FAULTY, I WAS TOLD THAT KIA WOULD COVER THE COSTS OF REPAIRS. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED, I WAS ASSURED THAT THERE WERE NOT RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, WHEN TO THE CONTRARY, I WAS SENT A RECALL DOCUMENT SC134 FROM KIA CASE WORKER, BILLY WELLS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THE APPOINTMENT. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4 HRS THE LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VEHICLE AND PRODUCED PAPER WORK STATING THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE EQUIPMENT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2016 KIA SEDONA LX IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SLIDING DOORS NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS WORKED ON WHEN WE BOUGHT IT BUT IT HAS REVERTED TO NOT LOCKING ONCE CLOSED EVERY TIME WE CLOSE IT. THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS STILL RANDOM. IT'S ONLY WHEN WE HAVE THEM OPENING/CLOSING WITH THE POWER OPTION. WHEN THE POWER OPTION IS TURNED OFF AND WE MANUALLY OPEN/SHUT THE DOORS, THEY DO LATCH AND THERE IS NO ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED MY 2012 KIA SEDONA ON 8-11-2018 & FOUND OUT THAT THEY SOLD ME A VEHICLE ON THE RECALL LIST. I SAID THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE ON A RECALL LIST & AFTER BATTLING CANCER & AN 8 MONTH SURVIVOR, I DON'T WANT THIS VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE MY DEMISE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RETURN TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP HERE IN DAYTONA BEACH, FL, THEY SAID WHEN I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I WOULD LOSE THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARDS ANOTHER (SAFE) VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS WAS WRONG NOT ONLY TO SELL ME AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, BUT FOR ME TO LOSE $ ON ANOTHER VEHICLE IS WRONG. PLEASE CALL ME ON MY CELL#[XXX]. [XXX]. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

ENGINE
HAD PURCHASED A 2012 KIA SEDONA. WORK OUT FINE FOR THE FIRST FEW YRS OF OWNERSHIP. STARTED NOTICING WHITE SMOKE AT ENGINE START. DIDNT KNOW WHY IT WAS DOING IT CAUSE WE HAD ROUTINE OIL CHANGES DONE TO THIS CAR REGULARLY. .TOOK CAR TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON AN EMISSIONS PART AND THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OFF THE ISSUE. SAME ISSUE CONTINUED, FINALLY VAN CAME TO A DEAD STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT OR ANY LIGHT TO GIVE US A WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING ON. WAS LUCKY THAT MY WIFE WASNT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.SHE WAS DRIVING HM AND ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE DECIDED TO QUIT WORKING. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND AFTER 2 MONTHS AT THE DEALER AND THAT WAS ONLY AFTER I CALLED TO CHECK WHY IT WAS TAKING SO LONG TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER,....WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OFF $7500 TO $9500 FOR A NEW ENGINE. NO LUCK HAVING DEALER COVER THE COST CUASE THEY SAID IT WAS OWNER NEGLECT ON MY PART. NOW IM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS NOT DRIVABLE AND USELESS. OH, AND WORST PART IS THAT I WAS STILL MAKING A MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THE CAR.

TODAY (DECEMBER 1, 2018) AT ABOUT 12:45 PM-MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING IN OUR 2017 KIA SEDONA NORTHBOUND ON INTERSTATE 75 AND SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. I WAS TERRIFIED, THEN HEARD MY CHILDREN START SCREAMING AND CRYING. MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TURNED BACK AND SAW OUR YOUNGEST BABY (SEATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE) COVERED IN SHARDS OF GLASS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CALM OUR CHILDREN. THERE WERE SHARDS OF GLASS COVERING THE BACK OF THE VAN. WE THEN CALLED KIA AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WAS ADVISED THAT "KIA CORPORATE" WOULD NEED TO BE CONTACTED ON MONDAY (12/3/2018) BEFORE ANYTHING COULD BE AUTHORIZED.
