NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Electrical complaints lead the 2014 Kia Sedona's owner reports, with the engine close behind. On the electrical side, owners frequently describe problems with the power sliding doors, including doors that fail to latch securely, open unexpectedly while driving, or stop responding to console controls. Brake system electrical issues also come up, with multiple owners reporting brake fluid leaks tied to the brake module and associated wiring. Engine complaints are spread across several symptoms rather than a single dominant pattern. Airbag reports round out the top three systems, though at lower volume. A recurring detail in the door complaints is that the auto-close mechanism itself seems unreliable, leaving doors that chime and partially open rather than seating fully.
