When driving at night all of the lights on the vehicle go out, but the engine continues to run normally. After 10 -15 seconds the lights come back on and the display has the low tire indicator illuminated. This has happened multiple times. I have had it checked by my mechanic and everything seems normal. Any ideas?

I was unaware of these recalls but have had issues with the air bag sensor in the passenger seat, the automatic doors and with the turn signals switching the way they respond.

Rear tail light housing compartments fill with water causing lights to go out or short. This needs to be turned into a recall for the manufacturer to fix, since there are many other owners of the same vehicle complaining about the same safety issue.

Driving home at night my main headlights randomly turned off while moving and went completely dark. The headlight setting was set to always on at the time of the incident. I quickly tried flipping to the auto setting and the head lights came back on. I drive 50 yards and they went back off. Fortunately I was not to far from home and kept switching back and forth to keep the lights on. I see similar complaints on the internet. Scary!

I have replaced the headlamp bulbs every 3 months or less, purchasing the brightest bulb, using the recommended gel, . also have purchased the less expensive ones.. nothing seems to break this cycle. It is getting quite expensive.. over $50 for 2 bulbs. Is this normal? the driver's side blows out quicker than the passenger side. Would like some help in this. Thanks

The contact owns a 2017 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that the driver's side sliding door fails to open. The door would either make a popping noise and does not open or it opens the retracts back to close. The contact stated that the passenger side sliding door began to exhibit the same issue at times. The contact took the vehicle to the dealers (Kia of dayton address: 8560 troy pike, huber heights, oh 45424 phone: (937) 358-8822, matt castrucci Kia address: 3013 mall park dr, dayton, oh 45459 phone: (855) 250-8987, and Kia of beavercreek address: 2220 heller dr, beavercreek, oh 45434 phone: (937) 358-8793) who all have either adjusted the door and or replaced the motor for the door a total of approximately 6 times within the past 3 years. The headlights and fog lights seem to burn out and need to be replaced an excessive amount of time. The left turn signal would work intermittently, also, while the vehicle was parked in the driveway and turned off, the vehicle's driver side hazard began to flash and the horn began to sound off. The contact stated that they returned the vehicle to the dealer (Kia of dayton address: 8560 troy pike, huber heights, oh 45424 phone: (937) 358-8822) who stated that because of an aftermarket hitch was attached to the electrical system, battery. The wiring harness was replaced, however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that there was a loud noise emitting from the rear of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (Kia of beavercreek address: 2220 heller dr, beavercreek, oh 45434 phone: (937) 358-8793) who stated that the shocks and control arm failed and replaced the rear suspension. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case regarding the matter. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.
