  LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

  HAVE HAD OUR 2006 KIA SEDONA VAN IN THE SHOP FOR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR NOT CLOSING...I WILL GO TO CLOSE THE DOOR, AND THE DOOR SLIDES RIGHT BACK OPEN AND DOESN'T EVEN LATCH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES TOO COUNT NOW, AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW VAN. THIS IS VERY SCARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO FLY OPEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, AN HOUR AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY, I WAS STUCK IN A WAL-MART PARKING LOT WITH MY KIDS IN THE VAN AND TRYING TO GET THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR TO SHUT WHILE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AGAIN! HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM IF YOU ASK ME AND MY FAMILY! WE WERE JUST OUTSIDE AGAIN TONIGHT IN FREEZING TEMPS WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD GIRLS AND STOOD OUTSIDE IN A PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT A 1/2 HOUR TRYING TO GET THE DOOR TO STAY SHUT. *JB

  SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

  TL*- THE CONTACT IS CALLING TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURE OF HIS VEHICLE DOES NOT MAKE SEAT BELT EXTENDER AND HE FINDS THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS AN ISSUE WITH THE LAW, SINCE THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REQUIRES ALL DRIVERS TO WEAR SEAT BELTS. WHEN HE SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURE TO SEE IF HE CAN GET A SEAT BELT EXTENDERS THEY STATED THAT THEY DON'T MAKE THEM AND THAT THEY DO ONLY WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GUIDELINE. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NEXT STEP HE CAN TAKE TO RESOLVE HIS SEAT BELT ISSUE.

  DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, AND WAS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON MORE THAN 3 OCCASIONS, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE LEFT. THE TREAD OF THE FRONT WHEELS HAD ABNORMAL WEAR. THE SERVICE DEALER HAD ROTATED THE TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A TECHNICIAN WAS SENT TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE LEFT.

  FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

  FUEL LINE THAT RUNS UNDER THE VEHICLE BY THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING. NOTHING BROUGHT THIS ABOUT. DID NOT HIT ANY CURBS OR POT HOLES IN THE ROAD. JUST STARTED LEAKING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART. NOT SURE IF THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME YET. HAVE YET TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FROM MY HOUSE TO THE DEALER. FIRST HAD TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CHECK FOR ANY HAZARD. *JB
