Driver seat just broke from the slide frame seat just falls back and is not safe to drive the seat is very badly designed should not have broken.also sliding door driver's side got lock were it doesn't open at all.

I brought this car (owned by by son and his wife, used by me) in March 2022 re recall SC186 to the Kia dealership in Berwyn, IL and they said the new part was needed, and they'd call me when it was in for me to return to have it replaced, but they never did call to say the part was in. -- I called various times through August 2022 to check, and they gave me a runaround. I called Kia customer service on 8/25, and their records showed that the Berwyn Kia claimed they did the recall on 04/08/22 -- AND THEY LIED - THEY NEVER HAD ME COME IN TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED! And because the recall is listed as done, no other dealership can replace the part! I filed complaint #[XXX] with Kia customer service - they said they would inform Berwyn Kia of my complaint, but might or might not get an answer from the dealer. I guess I will return to Berwyn Kia to confront them on this matter -- but I wonder how often they say they do recall repairs but don't in fact do them!!!! Can you do anything to help?? Who else should I complaint to about this? INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

On or about April 26, 2021, [XXX] heard a loud noise coming from the driveway and went outside to investigate. The van was engulfed in flames, mainly in the engine compartment. He attempted to put the fire out himself. His neighbor called the Pinellas Park fire department who responded and put out the fire. The vehicle was a total loss. The van had been parked for approximately five hours after he used it earlier that day to pick up children from school The spontaneous vehicle fire was a serious safety risk, and he is fortunate to have not lost his home in the fire along with the vehicle. The day before the fire, the ABS indicator light on the dash came on. He made an appointment to have the van serviced on April 27, but the fire destroyed the vehicle before it could be looked at. Shortly after this happened, [XXX] learned of Manufacturer Recall Number SC186; NHTSA Recall Number 20V088. He was never notified by Kia North America, before or after the fire which destroyed the vehicle. [XXX] has opened case number [XXX] with and was assured that Kia would be providing reimbursement for the Kia Sedona vehicle he had to replace.

On three occasions my vehicle's engine would stumble and refuse to accelerate when gas peddle was depressed to reach a lower gear to accelerate. I was forced to pull out of busy traffic to roadway shoulder, where engine continued to stumble or misfire. When I shut off the ignition and restarted my Kia Sedona, it retuned to normal operation. A second mishap was the sudden opening of the engine compartment hood, which flew up and struck my windshield, completely blocking my view. Fortunately I was able to slow and stop the vehicle without further damage, beside a bent hood and broken hinges and hood struts. You have issued a recall for several states, but not for Florida where this happened.

THE VAN'S SLIDING SIDE DOORS NO LONGER OPEN DUE TO PLASTIC CLIPS IN THE TRACKS BREAKING. THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. BOTH DOORS BROKE THE SAME DAY. MY SON IS IN A WHEELCHAIR AND WE USE THE SIDE SLIDING DOOR WITH A RAMP TO GET HIM IN HIS WHEELCHAIR INTO THE VEHICLE. HE IS FIVE AND WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAD TO OPEN THE BACK HATCH AND FOLD DOWN THE REAR SEATS IN ORDER TO GET HIM IN HIS WHEELCHAIR OUT. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION. I CAN NO LONGER RIDE HIM OR ANY PASSENGERS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT'S AN ENTRAPMENT ISSUE IF I WAS TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I NOTE THAT THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL ON LATER YEAR MODELS THAN MINE, BUT HAS YET TO BE RECALLED ON THE 2008.

WHILE WORKING ON MY 2008 KIA SEDONA, I DISCOVERED SEVERE PERFORATING CORROSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM. I DISCOVERED THAT KIA HAD INITIATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V387000. I CONTACTED KIA AT 1-800-333-4542 TO SEE IF THEY WOULD APPLY RECALL SC133 TO MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT IN ONE OF THE IDENTIFIED STATES (ALTHOUGH VIRGINIA DOES USE ROAD SALT IN WINTER). AFTER I CALLED THEM TWICE AND SENT THE ATTACHED PICTURES THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE IT AND SEND THEM THEIR OPINION FOR THEM TO RECONSIDER. I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING OUT OF POCKET TO VERIFY WHAT THE PICTURES CLEARLY SHOW. THIS CORROSION COULD RESULT A BROKEN CONTROL ARM AND RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. PLEASE CONTACT KIA FOR ME OR CHANGE THE CAMPAIGN TO MANDATORY AND EXPAND IT TO ALL STATES. *TR
