#1 of 3 automatic sliding door malfunction by pcox80 Sep 24, 2009 (2:58 pm)
i have a 2006 sedona with the authmatic opening and closing side slider and rear hatch door. in January my 2 year old son pressed the button to close the door while he was still in the way. My wife had enough time to push him out of the way but her hand wasn't able to clear the door before it closed and the pressure switch that is supposed to stop the door from closing on things malfunctioned and it crushed my wife's hand. She was out of work full time for 3 months and part time for 2 months recovering. Had occupational therapy and was able to return to work, but now i am having a hard time finding a lawyer to take the case. Any suggestions?

#2 of 3 2008 kia sedona fire by gypsyblue45 Sep 25, 2009 (12:20 pm)
My 2008 kia sedona caught on fire at 1:00am , 10 min after my husband parked in the driveway. I think it was electrical but the insurance company says it was gasoline so they don't have to pay. the fire also burned part of my home. Im trying to save the money now to hire my own investigation . I was wondering if this has happened to any one else because my whole life has been turned up side down.
