| Occassionally, the power sliding door on the drivers side closes and then reopens about 6-12 and has to be closed by hand. there have been several times when the same door opens all the way and it can't be closed, either by power or by hand. it will remain open until it gets ready for you to close it. the time frame varies but usually 10-15 minutes. several times, while driving with all of the doors closed and locked, the same sliding door will open a couple of inches and i have to stop and manually close it. the van has been in the shop several times and each of the described incidents still happen from time to time. the repair technicians cannot duplicate the problem so no corrective action can be taken. it's just a matter of time before someone falls out of the vehicle while it is moving and is either severely injured of killed. | |||

| We have had several problems with this vehicle. we just replaced both the rear and front sub bushings. our mechanic said this problem should have never occurred on a vehicle this young. we only have one sliding door that functions right now. the driver side sliding door does not work unless you physically pull it open and shut. i have been reading the same complaints from several 2007 kia owners. why has there been no recall issued? | |||

| For 4 years now, the sliding doors on my family van (2007 kia sedona) have been popping open while driving. this can happen when i simply press the gas, hit a very minor bump, or sometimes doesn't appear to have a cause. the overhead lights all come on, the door open chime begins to ding. i've taken this to kia almost a dozen times to no resolve. and now, the problem continues and though it's been reoccurring for 4 years now, they want to charge me for out of warranty service. | |||

| The drivers side automatic door doesn't open at all now when you push the button inside. it acts like it is catching on something so it doesn't open. if you pull the handle, outside, it sometimes will finish opening or closing by itself. but you have to give it that pull to get it past the catching point. you never know if it will run automatically or if you have to manually pull the door open, its like it shuts off or on. if you have to open it manually inside , you really have to push against the door hard to open it up. when you pull it manually it pulls easier, outside, than if you had the auto turned off. but we don't have the problem with it popping open while driving. just pops out of the latch sometimes when it does auto close and it beeps and lets you know the door isn't completely closed. just started having the passenger side starting to catch a little bit now, but it does completely run automatically once you give it a little help. haven't taken it in because the warranty is done and cant afford to pay possibly hundreds to fix it. *tr | |||

| Sub frame bushings on my 2007 kia sedona ,are according to my kia dealership toast. noise started at 70000 miles. they are not under warranty. this is way to early for this type of bushing to fail, under very average driving condintions. this should be a recall fix. | |||
