This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2006 Kia Sedona. The contact stated that the arm rest in the middle row seats has two plastic pieces that do not meet or fit over the arm rest. While his daughter was seated in one of the middle row seats, she moved right to left and the plastic piece caused a severe laceration to her skin. He notified the dealer and the manufacturer and they stated that the seat was designed in that manner. The manufacturer provided him with reference number K1320663. The failure mileage was 4,000 and current mileage was 6,000.
During harder braking in a Kia Sedona van, the second row seat flipped forward and clobbered the driver's (mine) head. I was so startled that I had no control of the vehicle for a few seconds. Nothing was hit. This was because the second row seats flip forward to allow rear entry but they do not necessarily re-latch when putting them upright again, either from a lack of re-latching force or debris/carpet interference with the latch.
