Did you try the customer service?
What state are you in? In CA if you visited the dealer for the same problem over 2-3 times the car might be considered a lemon.
I couldn’t show the dealer the problem so I took a video as soon as it happened in my garage.

I live in NJ and am considering pursuing the Lemon Law route. Several visits to 2 (Kia) dealers have not resolved the problem. I have also taken some video and am going to take it with me next time I visit the dealer. If they still can't find the solution, I'll probably contact Kia in writing and give them one last chance as per the Lemon Law.
 
I'd gladly settle for a brand new vehicle without the problem.

Document every visit to the dealer and make sure you have copies that mention the same problem.
Once yo have a few you can call them (no need to write) and then will give you a case number.
After a few days someone will call you to get more details.
I had them rent me a minivan for 5 days while mine was at the dealer's.
After that we agreen on a new Entourage.

I have the same slope in my driveway and my new entourage (1035 miles) doors work flawlessly. The only time they hesitate is when my kids try to close the doors from inside and I start the engine. Shall keep an eye for the problem.

New owner - Limited w/ Ultimate Pkg. by henryzx

Hello, we just brough our Brand new limited with ultimate pkg home couple days ago, and we're impressed, the fit and finish to power... couldn't complain a thing..But I have 2 questions:
 
-If anyone pay attention to the engine cover (you have to pop up the hood), are yours with the V6 - 3800 - and "H" (Hyundai logo) on it (as the brochure advertised)? Mine is just bland "V6" and that's it, not even the "H" logo on it...I called the hot line and the rep. has no idea what supposed to be on the engine cover...the one I test drove does have the fancier version
 
-What's is the exact HP on our Entourage ? 250hp or 242hp? if you look on the net there are two diff. info. ... Is anyone know for sure on this info?

2007 Entourage has 242 HP at 6000 rpm and 251 lb-ft at 3500 rpm per the Hyundai sales brochure.
 
2007 Sedona lists 250 hp at 6000 rpm, 253 lb-ft at 3500 rpm per the kia.com web site specs.
 
I'd heard it said somewhere that they re-tuned the Hyundai engine so it made more torque and fewer hp. It doesn't look like it from the peak torque comparison, but maybe the Entourage has a *wider* torque band. Speculating, but maybe it's the exhaust tuning, perhaps done for a more up-scale sound.

strange ins't it? by henryzx

So far, this is the first I've ever known that its horse power still a myth somewhat even after it being produced .
 
and one more thing, my rpm would always around 2000-2500 rpm even at hwy speed (65-85mph)....is it norm? the rpm only rev above 3000rpm when I use the autostick function to shift gear...
