Car engine overheated without any warning indicating that it was overheating. It just started smoking. Car is available for inspection upon request. Our safety was put at risk because in 95-degree weather, warm air was coming from AC when car sat idle. The root of the problem has not been confirmed by the dealer. Vehicle pictures were sent to insurance. No warning appeared before failure.

July 2021 family of 6 driving on vacation. 3 hours from home car started losing power. Dash lights were coming on and no lights were on at anytime before this. Vehicle had 68,000 miles at the time. Lost power would not accelerate for several minutes and car started smoking under the hood. Coolant was spraying everywhere. Family stuck on side of highway in middle of Pennsylvania and no exit for 15 miles. Had to walk to an unknown home to ask them to fill several bottles of water. Put water in the car. It would run about 5 minutes and overheat again. Finally got to a rest stop. Took to O'Reilly auto parts where we had new thermostat, coolant and fluid and other minor parts installed spending about $700. Drove 15 minutes car broke down again overheating. Trucker mechanic stopped to help but no luck. This was on a Sunday where everything was closed. We could not get a ride or a rental. Continued driving about 3 minutes at a time and constantly adding fluids made it to a hotel. Had to store the van for the week at the hotel. They agreed to keep it while we rented a van and went to Virginia beach. Van had to be towed home. Took to a garage near home where the mechanic said the heads needed replaced. Replaced head gaskets, head bolts. New thermostat, spark plugs, heli coil, coolant, oil and labor. They gave us a discounted rate of $2087. Drove home worked for few days and needed towed. Broke down again overheating on a main 3 lane busy road near home. This time repair shop said it would need a while new engine. While we paid $700 in parts on way to vacation. Had $1200 in car rental fees. $2100 in head gaskets shop repair fees. $600 in towing fees. And they were wanting $6000 for a new engine. I sat the van in my driveway for months paying the payments and eventually had to voluntarily repo at 70K miles. Car had 1 owner before us and car was regularly serviced. We had free service and oil for the first year we owned. Now being sued for the balance. Help!!!

The headlights blink on and off and keep going out and have to be changed often.

The brake lights went out. The bulbs were replaced. The fuse was replace and there still no lights. The top led brake light works, but lower lights on each side are out. I don't know if the brake switch is the problem when the upper led works. I have researched the issue and discovered that this is a xommon kia issue with many models. When a Google search is conducted for "kia no brake lights it comes up with other people that have the same issue with multiple models."

The sliding doors on both sides of the vehicle appear faulty. They routinely do not function with the button and I am required to manually close them. They also do not automatically stop and have nearly closed on my arm before. They are very glitchy. The drivers sliding door does not properly close all of the way approximately 10-15% of the time.

As consistently as multiple times each day, when using the blinker function on my 2015 Kia Sedona. The headlights will turn off completely. I have to wiggle the device to restore headlight function. It appears to have loose connectivity or wire, but is a significant safety issue when driving at dark.

Blinker malfunction. When blinker switch to left turn indicator, it will intermittently flash to the right while vehicle is in motion and stopped. This has numerously times caused people around me to move in wrong direction. It is commonly reported online. Please force recall.

Left turn signal intermittently activates the right side lights when pressed. Other times it does not activate the light at all. In either case, the signal arm must be giggled back and forth to get it to activate correctly.

- Anderson, CA, USA

Very often when I pull down on left turn signal the right side blinks instead. Signaled left last week started to turn left and a car almost hit me passing on my left. I try to be alert to the problem but sometimes I forget. I have seen many other Kia Sedona owners complaining about this problem and near miss accidents.

Over the past couple of months our left turn signal began acting up. You would turn it on, and it would either show nothing, or show the right turn signal on. You would have to turn it off and on several times to get it to work correctly. We have taken it in for repairs and was told it needed a new switch. We have owned several vehicles over the past 35 years and none of them had this issue, and many were driven nearly 200,000 miles or more. This all occurred while normal operation/driving of the vehicle.

My 2015 Kia Sedona sx-L has developed a random issue when the left turn signal function is actuated (and not the right). Symptoms include the left signal not operating at all, or when the left signal is depressed but the right signal blinks rapidly three times instead before blinking the left signal once. The issue only surfacess maybe 10 to 20% of the time and is difficult to reproduce on demand. This defect poses as a serious safety issue.

On multiple occasions my headlights will turn on or off when using turn signals or just hitting a bump. This is extremely dangerous as I live in a rural area with no street lights. This issue has been going on for several months now and is becoming more frequent. My 2015 Sedona only has 90K miles and I would not expect to have an issue like this at this time.

- Waynesville, MO, USA

Takata recall: Our 2015 Kia Sedona's when in motion or stationary, the turn signal component does not signal the direction we have selected. When I choose left turn it signals right turn. I have to play with the turn signal lever about 10 times before it may or may not signal the proper direction. This is extremely dangerous as the cars around us think we are planning to go right instead of left each intersection. Please issue a recal on these turn signal components for 2015 Kia Sedona minivans.
