2007 Kia Sedona Complaint Log

Unknown... So whenever it gets hot in the summertime lately. My car has an issue starting sometimes it doesn't start and I've taken it in have the mechanic look at it. They can't figure out what's going on with that. They say that it's known issue that they've had and they told me to Bang on the relay inside my vehicle. And sometimes that starts up right away and other times it takes a little bit for my car to start. They could not figure out what was causing it and sometimes all of my lights on my dashboard light up my air bag, ABS, check engine. Those will light up and I think it's something to do with the electrical or the fuel system. I don't know, i've replaced parts on it and I'm still having the issue. I don't know what is going on. I've replaced some fuses and they've blown so that's why I'm thinking it's something to do with the electrical. My mechanic couldn't figure out what it was and he says he has had many kias have the same issue.

The contact owns a 2007 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, she was informed that smoke was emanating from the vehicle, after which she observed flames emanating from the engine compartment on the driver's side. Bystanders were able to extinguish the flames with a fire extinguisher. Local emergency services arrived. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the wiring harness. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V652000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); the VIN was included, but the vehicle had already been repaired. A fire report was filed. A police report was not filed, and no injuries were reported. The contact also stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the hood suddenly unlatched, opened, and smashed into the front windshield. The contact was able to safely pull to the shoulder of the roadway, and attempted to close the hood, but the latch failed to remain secure. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the secondary hood latch assembly. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V389000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages); the VIN was included, but the vehicle had already been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car stopped working on highway, took to dealer where we got it used a year prior. Shop said these engines are notorious for failure. They said the engine was needing to be replaced due to malfunction of vehicle

The contact owns a 2007 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that he initially received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V088000 (Electrical System, Service Brakes, Hydraulic). A year after the recall repair was performed, while his wife was driving 55 MPH, grayish smoke started coming from under the hood. While she was pulling over, the ABS warning light illuminated the instrument panel due to both front brake calipers locking up. The contact’s wife allowed the vehicle to cool down for a while and was able to restart the vehicle and drive home without further incidence. The contact, who is a mechanic, then drove the vehicle to his dealer for an inspection and discovered that water had entered the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) which caused the module to corrode. The contact also discovered that both fuses in the under-hood fuse block had blown which caused the smoke. Upon replacing the fuses, the same failure recurred with smoke coming from the engine due to the replacement fuses being blown. The contact then spoke with the dealer where the recall was performed and was provided a diagnostic fee to inspect the vehicle. The contact then reached out to the manufacturer where he was provided a case number but had not yet received a follow-up call from the manufacturer. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 135,701.

THE CAR GETS THIS RANDOM SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERES S CRACKLING SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE DASH BOARD. ALSO THE CAR RANDOMLY DOESNT START. THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL WORK BUT THE CAR DOES NOTHING WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOSTLY AFTER THE BURNING SMELL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, FUSES AND RELAY SWITCHES AND NOTHING WORKS. I'VE HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. IT'S VERY SCARY SMELLING BURNING PLASTIC AND HEARING CRACKLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I'M TO SCARED TO DRIVE.

THE HOOD BECAME UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SMASHING THE WINDSHIELD. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS TO TOTAL THE CAR RATHER THAN FIXING IT. TJETE IS A RECALL ON THE HOOD LATCH. CAN I EXPECT KIA TO REPAIR MY CAR?

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.

INTERMITTENT NO START CONDITION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE OUT OF THE PARK POSITION AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000.

WHILE MY KIA SEDONA WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. HAD BEEN PARKED ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN SMOKE SUDDENLY STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SOON, THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS ON FIRE AND LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. KIA COORPERATE SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

WHILE PARKED THE BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS STAY ON; WHILE DRIVING THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS, AND ESC LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ON. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL NHTSA #13V114000 AND THE KIA RECALL #SC098, BUT MY VIN NUMBER APPARENTLY ISN'T LISTED AS ONE THAT IS AFFECTED, WHICH IT IS! I HAVE NOTICED IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT NOW THEY ALL ARE GETTING WORSE. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A RECALL PROBLEM.

STOP LAMP SWITCH WAS REPLACED IN 2013 DUE TO SAFETY RECALL 13V114000. AT PRESENT THE ESC LIGHT IS MALFUNTIONING AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR KIA DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY STOP LAMP SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE OPERATES AS NORMAL. A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO KIA FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I FEEL IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KIA MOTORS TO ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL.

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND STAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS ON

WHEN YOU PRESS GAS PEDAL AND CAR ACCELERATE THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK IT HAPPENS TO ME A COUPLE TIMES THIS MONTH I BELIEVE THE CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALL FOR THE GAS PEDAL THANK YOU

CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES, UNLESS YOU TAP THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, THEN IT STARTS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU STALL IN TRAFFIC AND CAN'T GET THE CAR STARTED. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE REQUIRE KIA TO DO A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HIT AND KILLED. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THANK YOU.

CITY DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD AT 45 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR SPEED BEGAN DROPPING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND GAS PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT NOT GIVE GAS TO THE ENGINE.

SEE PICTURES THEY ARE MORE SELF EXPLANATORY JUST THE DRIVER SIDE IT'S SHOWN DUE TO FILE LIMITATION.
