problem #1

Sedona 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The center seats in the Kia Sedona are the reclining type and when you try to put it up-right the back of the seat slams up and the whole seat shoots forward as happen to my daughter (9 yrs old). I pointed this out to the dealer and was told by him sitting in the seat that he had no problem, then again he is a grown men with a bit weight and not a 9 yr old whose feet to do not touch the floor when sitting in that seat. We were lucky that the vehicle was at stand still when this occurred. All I asked her to do was put the seat up-right which she had reclined to read. End result was the seat slammed her into the (my) seat and had her trapped, had we been moving, what then "??????"
