Description of the problem	We own a 2006 kia sedona, bought used. The power sliding doors have malfunctioned numerous times. Once on the driver side, and now we are on the third repair for the passenger power sliding door in less than a year. The occurrences are random. The door will not close or latch whether we do it manually or use the power buttons. There is no warning; it just stops working. There are numerous complaints from other consumers about the exact same issue. This is very much a safety related issue, not just an inconvenience. At what point does a complaint stop being a service bulletin and become a product recall? The last repairs we had were covered under warranty, however, warranty does not last forever and it does not seem like the repairs are working for us or other consumers. This is clearly a product defect and not an issue of normal wear and tear. Consumers that are experiencing this same problem should not be obligated to have any out-of-pocket expenses related to what is an obvious product defect. Thankfully, there have not been any reported injuries or deaths that i was able to find. My hope is that kia is not waiting for that to occur to issue a product recall.
