1363 of 1369 2006 Sedona EX (Power Sliding Door not always latching) by

I have a 2006 Sedona EX with Luxury and Power Packages. The passenger side
Power Sliding Door doesn't always close properly - failing to latch. It then
either pops slighly open and gives up, or slides open all of the way and
beeps. I usually have to try to close the door about 3 or 4 times before it
works correctly!

The dealer "couldn't reproduce the problem", but it appears as though at
least one other person is experiencing the same problem (they've posted a
video on youtube).

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I purchased my Kia minivan in March 06 and have not had any problems with it
until recently. around the 9,200 mile mark on my way to work I felt a ripple
going about 45 then a few seconds later the check engine light flashed off
and on and my I experienced a great loss of power. I took the van to Kia
Mall of Georgia and they said the problem was multiple misfire and the #4
coil was bad. I got the van back and have had the same problem happen
between 200 - 300 miles three more times. The second time all spark plugs
were changed. the third time the ECU (computer) was changed, and the fourth
time the dealer says that the ECU is reading my antifreeze at 46.7 when the
problem occurs. They have no idea how to fix this, they have told me that
Kia may have to make a software patch or new software to fix the problem.
The dealer has my van to drive because the service manager wants to
experience exactly what happens when this mystery occurs. The dealer has had
my van for a total of 3 weeks going into the fourth. I am thinking here I
don't know what else to do. I anyone has experienced this problem and had it
fixed let me know. If you have a van now be advised that my problem did not
occur until I had 9,200 miles on it. One other remark, This problem can
happen when van is started, stopping, or accelerating.

Thanks for you info. However, I had the problem with the crossbars and
solved it myself by just installing them all the way to the front and to the
back. The howl I am getting is coming from the driver side a/c vent only on
very windy days at highway speed. I suspect a loose hose, valve or something
of that sort. No luck with dealership as yet.

Almost 4 weeks at the dealer is unacceptable - can you go to another dealer?
Also, maybe you should give Kia themselves a call, and report the problem to
them.

I suggest that you research the Lemon law in your state.

Generally speaking I think your problem probably qualifies under the Lemon
Laws.

Has your dealer provided you with a vehicle to drive while he has yours?

I have tried other dealerships with no success. Kia corporate is well aware
of the problem. I think all this extra driving is a stalling tactic so Kia
can have more time to fix the problem

I have had a rental that Kia is paying for on the three of four occasions,
they always claim the loaners are all out. This is the last shot for Kia, I
will act on the lemon law.
