AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF FREQUENTLY WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF WITH NO PASSENGER AND NOTHING IN THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR AT START UP OF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS MAY STAY ON. I FEAR THAT IF NEEDED MY AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WE HAVE A 2006 KIA SEDONA MINIVAN WITH LITTLE OR NO RUST ON THE BODY. IN 2013 WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN TOWN SHE HAD THE PASSENGER FRONT CONTROL ARM BREAK THANKFULLY AT LOW SPEED. I CONTACTED KIA ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE FOR THE REPAIR. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THEY CALLED AND OFFERED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE NEW CONTROL ARMS AND LABOR WHICH THEY DID. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AGO ON 9/28/17 AS A WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK THE WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING AND THERE WAS A GRINDING AND SHUDDERING WHILE BRAKING ABRUPTLY AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VAN HOME. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND THE SUBFRAME JUST THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FRONT DRIVER CONTROL ARM HAD SNAPPED AND THE WHEEL IS JUST FLOATING AROUND IN THE WHEEL WELL. I WAS SURPRISED HOW THIN THE STEEL IS AT THE BREAK POINT CONSIDERING IT NEEDS TO SUPPORT A QUARTER OF THE WEIGHT OF THE VAN. THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF THE VAN IS ROTTED AT MORE THAN JUST THIS LOCATION UPON FURTHER INSPECTION.

TIRES
I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 KIA SEDONA THAT HAS MICHELIN TIRES ON IT. I PURCHASED THE TIRES ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2011. I HAD 76540 MILES ON THE VAN AT THAT TIME. TODAY I HAVE 100,955 MILES ON THE VAN, THAT IS A LITTLE OVER 24000 MILES ON THESE TIRES. I WAS HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED PRIOR TO A VACATION WITH MY DAUGHTER. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE TERRIBLE DRY-ROT. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND DANGEROUS AND I AM ALERTING YOU TO THIS PROBLEM. THESE TIRES SHOULD HAVE MANY MORE YEARS OF LIFE IN THEM AND DO NOT HAVE VERY MANY MILES ON THEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE MICHELIN REPLACING THESE TIRES .. THESE TIRES HAVE A 70,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM HOWEVER THEY ARE NOW 6 YEARS OLD, AND JUST PAST THE MICHELIN WARRANTY DATE. I WAS TOLD BY NTB MANAGER THAT MICHELIN HAVE A TENDENCY TO DRY-ROT/ CRACK AND HE EVEN HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ONES ON HIS CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NEW TIRES WILL COST OVER $800 ON THIS VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH I WOULD AGREE TO PICK UP SOME OF THAT COST SINCE I HAVE USED THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 70% LEFT ON THE LIFE OF THESE TIRES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THEM AS IS BECAUSE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF A BLOW OUT AND SINCE IT IS HAPPENING ON ALL 4 TIRES THAT COULD BE DISASTROUS. I HOPE THAT MICHELIN AGREES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES AND THAT THEY STAND BY THEIR BELIEF IN PROVIDING A GOOD PRODUCT, FREE FROM DEFECTS. THANKS

I PURCHASED IN 2008. I HAVE HEARD THE AXLE OR TIRE ROD MAKE SQUEAKING NOISE ON EVERY BUMP OR DIP. EVERYTIME I MENTION TO SHOP MECHANIC AND THEY CHECK, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. AFTER 96000 MILES THEY TELL ME THEY CANNOT GIVE ME A ALIGNMENT BECAUSE I NEED NEW TIRE RODS. THE SAME VEHICLE I HAVE COMPLAINED FOR 9 YEARS.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WONT GO OFF. IT USED TO COME ON OCCASIONALLY BUT IT JUST STARTED TO BE ON CONSTANTLY RECENTLY. ALSO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS STUCK ON. ITS SUPPOSED TO LIGHT UP OFF WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED. NOW THE SEAT BELT LIGHT FLASHES AS IF SOMEONE IS SEATED THERE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ONE THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A ONE WEEK PERIOD, THE KIA SEDONA STALLED RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THIS OCCURRED ONCE ON A GRAVEL ROAD, ONCE IN TOWN, AND ONCE ON WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN WE EXPRESSED THIS SAFETY CONCERN TO KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE, WE HAVE BE COMPLETELY STONEWALLED AND CANNOT EVEN RECEIVE A RETURNED PHONE CALL FROM THE CASE MANAGER. I WISH I COULD SUPPLY MORE INFORMATION BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND KIA SEEM UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH US.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DOOR HANDLES ARE PLASTIC AND EVENTUALLY BROKE OFF ON THE OUTSIDE SO THAT OPENING THE DOORS -ALL 4- IS TRICKY SINCE ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE HANDLE REMAINS IN PLACE. THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE A PLASTIC CHROME-LOOKING COATING THAT PEELS OFF AND HAS CUT OUR HANDS SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING US TO NEED BANDAGES AS SOON AS WE RUN IN THE FRONT DOOR.
