No lights on the dash, no maintenance or check engine lights. The van began making noises under the hood and then blowing white smoke from the exhaust. The electrical connectors to the fan were melted and hot. To the cooling fan, radiator, etc. The fan connector caused the car to over heat.

Our Kia Sedona had the cooling fan harness negative Cable melt and caused making our engine overheat. When we took our vehicle to get serviced they told us that the cooling fan harness melted and then it's a common problem with kias. They fixed the pigtail cooling fan harness but are cooling fan does not turn on anymore and they said that it is now an electrical issue and this was from a Kia dealership in Dodge City Kansas. They recently did a recall on sliding doors because they weren't shutting all the way and it worked for exactly one day after the recall and now it's back to not shutting and making a really loud noise when it attempts to shut. When this happens we can't lock our doors because the doors won't lock when doors open and we have to constantly shut off our interior lights so that they don't stay on because the doors don't shut. We've notified the Kia dealership that have done our recall on it and told them that it didn't fix it but they refuse to make it right. We only have 106,000 MI I've got a new cooling fan resistor and put it in and a new pigtail harness and put it in but the cooling fan is still not turning on the low speed and the air conditioner doesn't work either. Our engine constantly smells very hot but it doesn't indicate that it's overheating. We haven't had this vehicle for very long and because of all the problems we've had with it are considering on getting another vehicle and we're considering a carnival but are afraid to because of the way Kia handles their issues.

Both automatic passenger sliding doors do not shut completely after last recall was completed to fix them.

- Boardman , OH, USA

Headlights will shut off while driving. This sometimes will occur on its own, other times, it appears to be caused when using the turn signal lever. The lights will come back on by touching/moving the lever. This is dangerous and could lead to an accident.

- Long Beach, CA, USA

The passenger-side door from day one of purchasing the kia sedon LX doesn't shut properly. When using the button to close the door, the door will shut and then slightly ajar. The car dash will then tell me that not all doors are secure. I have contacted KIA several times. They have replaced the motor first and this didn't fix the issue so they replaced the latches. This also didn't fix the issue. Unless I turn off the power doors and manually shut the doors myself the problem still persists.

Frequently, the turn signal will blink on the right when the turn signal switch is set to the left. This is a safety concern for myself and other drivers as they will expect the vehicle to go to the right when it is actually going to the left. I had this repaired at a dealership. This had been an issue for about a year, when I finally had it repaired.

- Rock Hill, SC, USA

About 1917 the power sliding doors stopped working correctly. The doors make a loud screaching sound when closing when stopped. & in motion. Doors do not close and lock completely and have to be close by pushing in the back where and fram meets. Got a recall on sliding doors. Went 3/22/21 and all that was done was to reprogram the computer. This didn T fix the problem at all. Call Kia and was told, have to fix on own. Did call about issue in 2017 told it would cost over $1000, couldn't afford. Also asked about why air bag light comes on and stays on and that the gas door button doesn T open. Have to get out and hit gas door to open. Thought that 100000 warrenty was to cover anything bumper to bumper. Why pay the extra for nothing.

When you use your blinkers to change lanes at night the headlights go off till I move the blinker nob back to the middle this happens when you are going down the road and is dangerous needs to recalled asap before someone get hurt

While driving when I use my turn signals the headlights will either flash high beams or completely go out then back on. Also my driver's side sliding door doesn't shut completely with the power door option this just started around the 100K mile mark.

- Mcdonough, GA, USA

The daytime and headlights lights will turn off randomly. (started around the 100K mileage). When stationary, the sliding doors do not shut correctly. 1st the driver's side door begins rattling like change is inside the door. 2nd then the door begins taking 2 turns to close, and then it is hit or miss when closing. The door closure button will occasionally not work, regardless of whether the car is off and parked. (started around the 45000 mileage). The driver's side seat belt connector occasionally indicates a fault error. Also the passenger side seat belt indicator will turn on when 5 pounds or less is in the passenger seat. (started around the 100K mileage). My biggest concern: Since I believe the side doors are fatal accidents waiting to happen, I have my kids sit in the 3rd row. Only adults are allowed to sit in my passenger captain chairs. The blind spot warning does not work consistently.

While driving down an unlit road by harold parker state forest, in Massachusetts. My low beam head lights suddenly went out ( stopped working ) and never came back on. I used my high beams to make my way home, much to the dismay of on coming traffic. I went to the local auto parts store think that the bulbs burnt out, but that is not the case. I tested the fuse and relay and everything seems find, so now I am making an appointment with the local Kia dealer to investigate. My wife informed me that is had happened to her earlier the same week, but she thought it was just her eyes. This was a major problem given the time of night, the inability to see without blinding on coming traffic. I did some looking into this matter and found a lot of the same complaints on the web. Please look into this matter before someone get injured or worse, killed.

The female plug on the ac pigtail switch that works the front A/C fan was defective. I replaced the plug and the pigtail. I think you need to know that the female plug was shorted out and burned. It was like this when I purchased the vehicle 07072020. The unsafe condition was the burned female plug which could have resulted in a dash fire.

The turn signal indicator randomly fails to active the left turn signal. When signaling right it always works, when signaling left it is hit or miss. It has become more often over the last year. This creates problem when I signal left and start to move then realize the left signal did not come on I have had to jerk back into lane to avoid accident.

Low beam headlights. Flickr and one will go out and sometimes the other will go out and have gone out together while driving with out any warning. After looking this issue up online it appears that there are many other 2016 Kia Sedona's having exact same issue along with other Kia make and modelsafter looking this issue up online it appears that there are many other 2016 Kia Sedona's having exact same issue along with other Kia make and model. I would have also covered this story yet there has been no recalls I have called my local Kia dealer they have also had customers deal with this issue.I have called my local Kia dealer they have also had customers deal with this issue and I contacted Kia manufactured yesterday for them to tell me they have no recall at this time they are not the ones that initiates recalled that goes through NHTSA so here I am. This is most definitely a safety issue and needs to be resolved. I can't believe people have been having this issue for over two years and there still is no recall.I can't believe people have been having this issue for over two years and there still is no recall.

The left turn signal malfunctions. When turning on the left turn signal, it intermittently turns on the right turn signal, turns on the right turn signal, then switches to the left turn signal, or does not turn on any turn signal. Also, when someone weighing around 175 or less sits in the passenger seat, the airbag light turns on, as if the person is a child and the airbags won't deploy in case of an accident.

While driving at night my headlights will often flicker off for one to three seconds when I'm either activating the turn signal (either right or left) or attempting to turn on my high beams. I always drive with the headlights in "auto", so I have not experienced the issue with any other setting.

2016 Sedona driver side push button sliding door will not latch properly on its own. It makes an awful noise and the back of the door doesn't latch; which causes the door to not lock also. This poses a variety of safety issues. I have also had the door sensors reset/programmed for the recall that was for the door not returning if obstructed; however I have personally gotten caught in the door and it's still not retracting as it should in my opinion. If a child was in fact the one with their hands, legs, feet ect in the path of the door the door is not going to stop and retract like it is supposed to. The door has acted this way for a long time. Since about 40,000 miles.

When activating turn signals the headlights go out. This seems to happen only when headlights are set auto. Returning the turn signal stalk back to the neutral position seems to correct this and also moving the switch from auto to on. The headlights go out while driving on city streets and highways, and while stationary on the city streets or in parking lots. Since I am the primary driver I am familiar with the problem but when my wife drives the van I remind her about the problem in case it should happen to her. My daughter will be driving soon and a young driver may not know what to do when the headlights go and they may panic causing a problem. Just tonight I found that when the parking lights were put on the drivers front light flickers and then goes out. I repeated this process for several cycles and it did it every time. This is something new that I was not aware of until tonight
