2014 Kia Sedona Body & Structure Problems

Your sliding passenger doors may fail to latch completely, and can unexpectedly open while driving on the highway, triggering a door alarm. Sometimes the doors won't latch even when parked and powered off, making the van unusable until the issue resets on its own. The problem occurs intermittently, making it difficult to reproduce for dealer diagnosis, though Kia has issued a warranty extension for this issue. Fixing this will likely require the dealer to inspect and adjust or replace the door latch mechanism and its electronic components.

Your passenger-side sliding door won't open properly, and there was no warning light to alert you to the problem. A dealer diagnosed that your sliding door control module needs to be replaced to fix the issue.

Your sliding doors won't lock using the automatic door locks, the power lock buttons on the control panel, or the key fob — they only lock manually. This is a safety concern, especially with children in the vehicle. The issue appears to be with the electronic locking actuators or control system that operates the doors.
