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. The impact also broke the rear-view mirror and inside light console. It seems that hood latch problem has not been rectified. I have filed a complaint with Kia and a claim with my insurance provider.

The sliding door opens while driving. Some of our groceries flew out and just missed a man waiting for the bus. This along with latching problems and auto door opening issuies. Have replaced many parts and spent many dollars trying to fix. I was told the problems were because I live on a gravel road and dust is caking on the motors. I spent 370 dollars today to get the door just to stay latched!!! I was told to spray water into my door once a week and once a month to take the door apart and spray water and re grease. Both sides have the same issue. Why has this not been a recall. If my kid was in the car and fell out heads would roll. If my groceries had hit the man waiting for the bus I would have been sued. I went on line to see if other owners had similar issues and there was so many that I was shocked. Some days we can't open our auto sliding doors and have to go manual. Some of those times it does not latch so we use rope on the door handles to keep it from opening. How can this be safe"?"

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 78,000.

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 recurring for 4 years now, they want to charge me for out of warranty service.
