| Description of the problem | Power side passenger door opens without warning when in motion. Does not do this all the time just out of the blue no warning. The vehicle has been in the shop several times for the doors and as well as other problems. My main concern is the doors. I have 3 children 3, 7 and 10 and use the vehicle as little a possible and no longer take their friends as well as our dog in this vehicle. I purchased the kia sedona ex in july 14,2006 and it has only 15,165. 00 miles on it. I have no confidence in the service department and i don't believe they understand the seriousness of my problem. I have done some research online regarding similar complaints in chat rooms, is anything being done about this issue? I am currently working on a case through the lemon law. |
