| Description of the problem | For 4 years now, the sliding doors on my family van (2007 kia sedona) have been popping open while driving. This can happen when i simply press the gas, hit a very minor bump, or sometimes doesn't appear to have a cause. The overhead lights all come on, the door open chime begins to ding. I've taken this to kia almost a dozen times to no resolve. And now, the problem continues and though it's been recurring for 4 years now, they want to charge me for out of warranty service. |
