2010 Kia Sedona problems

“The sliding doors have a rubber piece that over time, gets stuck and causes the door to not latch and close, leaving the door to come open as you are driving. This has been a known issue with these sliding doors on my Kia Sedona. This is highly unsafe due to the ability of the door to come open as you are driving and potentially causing harm for someone to fall out and or be injured.”

“The contact owns a 2010 Kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving approximately 75 MPH with the cruise control engaged, the contact observed that the cruise control independently ceased functioning. The contact stated that the "ESC" light was illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to continue driving but had to manually accelerate due to the failure. The contact stated that the cruise control switch was illuminated, but the cruise function would not engage. The contact stated that when he had pulled into a rest stop, he became aware that the rear brake lights were still illuminated even though he had turned the vehicle off and shifted to park(P). The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the brake stop, and brake stop lamp switch needed to be replaced. The contact stated that he related the failure to a previously repaired recall of NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V114000 (Exterior Lighting). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000. The contact stated that brake switch was replaced by the dealer at no charge…”

“THERE IS NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE TAILGATE ON THIS VEHICLE, AND NO WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE AT ALL. WHILE SITTING STILL, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE TAILGATE WILL NOT UNLOCK IN ANY OF THE THREE UNLOCKING MODES: USING THE REMOTE FOB, USING THE KEY IN THE DRIVERS DOOR, OR OPERATING THE UNLOCK SWITCH ON THE INTERIOR DRIVERS DOOR PANEL. THERE IS NO EXTERIOR KEY ACCESS ON THE TAILGATE, AND NO INTERIOR DOOR RELEASE OR UNLOCKING MECHANISM. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET INTO, OR OUT OF, THE TAILGATE WITHOUT REMOVING THE INTERIOR TAILGATE PANEL. INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. IS IT LEGAL TO HAVE NO ACCESS TO OPEN THE TAILGATE FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE? THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IS NOW SILENT WHEN TRYING TO GET IT TO OPERATE, AND NO LONGER CLICKS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT. THE OWNER'S MANUAL INDICATES THE TAILGATE LOCK IS ON THE SAME FUSE AS THE REAR SLIDING DOORS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO UNLOCK AS NORMAL IN ALL THREE UNLOCKING MODES DESCRIBED ABOVE.”
