ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE HOOD POPPED OPEN AND BENT THE HOOD AND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD. I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL ON THE HOOD LATCH REPAIRED IN 2017 AT A KIA DEALER. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY THEY CANT HELP ME AND SAID TO REPORT IT TO KIA CORPORATE. THE HOOD NOW WONT CLOSE DUE TO DAMAGE. THE IMPACT ALSO BROKE THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR AND INSIDE LIGHT CONSOLE. IT SEEMS THAT HOOD LATCH PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH KIA AND A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE PROVIDER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY, AND AT NIGHT. TWO THINGS, ONE THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT ENGAGE, YOU'LL PUSH THE STALK UP/DOWN TO INDICATE A LEFT OR RIGHT-HAND TURN, AND THE EXTERNAL SIGNALS DO NOT LIGHT. EITHER TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR PUSHING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK BACK TO THE CENTER POSITION AND THEN PUSHING THE STALK BACK TO THE DESIRED LEFT/RIGHT INDICATOR. ALSO AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES. YOU USUAULLY HAVE TO RAPIDLY WORK THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON THE END OF THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, AND KIA REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION FROM UNDER THE HOOD ACCOMPANIED BY A GUSH OF OIL FROM UNDER THE CAR. THE CAR DID NOT CATCH FIRE BUT THERE WERE SPARKS. THE OIL THAT SPILLED FROM UNDER THE CAR CAUSED THE CAR TO SLIP OUT OF CONTROL.

AFTER I EXPERIENCED THE LATCH PROBLEM THAT FRONT HOOD FLIPPED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE E LOCKED UP. BROUGHT IT TO INSURANCE MECHANIC, FIXED HOOD AND ENGINE. DROVE OUT FROM THEIR IN 5 MINUTES, THE ENGINE STALLED ON HIGHWAY AGAIN. NEVER BEEN ABLE TO START UP. MECHANIC WANTED TO TAKE IT AS A NEW CASE, NOT AS AN EXISTING CLAIM. SO WE JUST TOWED THE CAR BACK HOME.

THE REAR HOUSINGS FOR THE TURN SIGNALS ARE FILLING WITH RAIN WATER. THE WATER LEAKAGE WILL RENDER THE SIGNALS INOPERABLE. THE DRIVER MAY NOT EVEN BE AWARE OF THIS HAZARD. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE SEALS OR PLASTIC HOUSING MAY BE DEFECTIVE.
