Description of the problem	August 12, 2008 after picking my children, 8yrs old and 4 years old up from the babysitter both sliding doors would shut and reopen on their own. I was able to get to finally get both doors shut by shutting off the electronics of the door. However when i left my babysitters and the first right turn i made the driver side sliding door flew open, while my son was sitting there. I called kia in fort wayne, my car was towed the next day and returned to me on the 13th with the passenger side control module replace. The driver side sliding part was on back order. On sept. 3, 2008 my drivers side sliding door control module was replaced. Here it is september 8, 2008 and the driver side passenger door is doing this again. I called kia in fort wayne and they can get mar car in on wednesday. Kia fort wayne i feel has done everything they can as far as replacing the part, but this door is coming open while i'm driving, because something is seriously wrong. I have video recorded this door no latching at the time it happened on september 8th. I hope that kia seriously looks into this major safety issue. I work in the automotive industry and can honestly i am disgusted in how kia is handling this safety issue. Is kia waiting for a death to take place? I found 4 other complaints on this same make/model on - www. Motorpits. Com that states they get the information from this website.
