   I have the same problem. Just called Kia and was on the phone for about 15 minutes. I mentioned this video also. Great documentation! It appears this is now a know issue. They were very receptive and said they would take care of the problem immediately. I’ll wait to see what happens.

   My new Sedona is doing something similar—the sliding door sometimes pops slightly open just after it closes—- its not enough for the door to automatically reopen, but an open door is an open door.
   
   Just called the dealer and he says that its a known problem which has been esculated to KIA UK for a fix. The dealer sys that they have tried replacing all the parts of a faulty door and that did not fix the problem which is why they have escualted it.
   
   He says I will get a call back in a day or two—- more news as I have it

   My KIA dealer says that they have successful fixed the problem on their demo model and have now applied these fixes to my KIA on the faulty door.
   
   I am a bit puzzled that they only tweak the faulty back door rather than apply the fixes to both back doors as a matter of course (the risk of having a sliding door opening whilst the car is moving is very serious)
   
   Any progress on yours?

   My Kia Sedona is now in for repair with the electrical doors for the 6th time. All the fixes have not worked!!!! I am now in the process of getting my money back. My doors open whilst driving exposing my 3 young children!!!

   HI we too are having problems with our sedona but for over a year now.
   the dealership where we bought it keep fobbing us off with lame excuses and admitted to us that they had forgotton about it (and us).
   so we are now taking it to a solicitor to see if we can get our money back! not holding out much hope. as it seems that all Kia want is your money!!!!!

   I’m really sorry to hear about these problems y’all have been having with your Kia! My hubby & I had been thinking about buying a new car, and Kia was on the short list! I think maybe now it won’t be on the list at all!
