ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SINCE JANUARY 2020 I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MALFUNCTIONING ELECTRICAL ISSUES BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND STANDING STILL. WITHOUT ME NEEDING THE USE OF MY WIPERS THEY WILL TURN ON ALL BY THEMSELVES WHILE IN THE OFF POSITION. THIS WOULD BE BOTH FRONT AND REAR WIPERS. AS I TRY TO TURN THEM OFF BY MOVING THE WIPER ARM UP AND DOWN AT TIMES THE SPEED WON'T CHANGE AT ALL OR FOR EXAMPLE THE HIGHEST SPEED LEVEL WOULD WORK AT THE LOWEST SPEED LEVEL. AS WELL THE HIGH BEAM WOULD ACTIVATE THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THESE OCCURRENCES. I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF WHILE NIGHT DRIVING. FOR MONTHS AS I WOULD BRING IN THE VAN TO BE CHECK 3 TIMES TO BE EXACT WHICH I HAVE SOWN VIDEO THAT I STILL HAVE SAVED. FIRST TIME THEY SAID SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE I HAVE TO BRING IT BACK, SECOND TIME I PULLED UP WITH THE ISSUE OCCURRING AND THEY CHANGED A MODULE BUT IT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM ABOUT A MONTH LATER THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING AND KIA CHANGED THAT AND TILL THIS DATE IT HAPPENS BUT NOT AS FLUENT AS BEFORE AND THE WIPERS ALONE HAVE BEEN THE ISSUE.

SUSPENSION
WHILE WORKING ON MY 2008 KIA SEDONA, I DISCOVERED SEVERE PERFORATING CORROSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM. I DISCOVERED THAT KIA HAD INITIATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V387000. I CONTACTED KIA AT 1-800-333-4542 TO SEE IF THEY WOULD APPLY RECALL SC133 TO MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT IN ONE OF THE IDENTIFIED STATES (ALTHOUGH VIRGINIA DOES USE ROAD SALT IN WINTER). AFTER I CALLED THEM TWICE AND SENT THE ATTACHED PICTURES THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE IT AND SEND THEM THEIR OPINION FOR THEM TO RECONSIDER. I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING OUT OF POCKET TO VERIFY WHAT THE PICTURES CLEARLY SHOW. THIS CORROSION COULD RESULT A BROKEN CONTROL ARM AND RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. PLEASE CONTACT KIA FOR ME OR CHANGE THE CAMPAIGN TO MANDATORY AND EXPAND IT TO ALL STATES. *TR
