The contact owns a 2025 Kia Carnival. The contact stated that while parked in a bank drive-thru, the contact's son mentioned that his seat belt was stuck. The contact parked the vehicle in a parking spot and attempted to remove the seat belt; however, the seat belt retracted tightly around his abdomen as the lower half of his body was turning blue, requiring the contact's husband to cut the seat belt. The contact mentioned that it was discovered that all seat belts located in the rear row seats failed. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were flickering on and off back in April. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that all the third-row rear seat belts had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired by replacing the seat belts. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the seat belts were replaced and that the vehicle was ready to be picked up. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

The vehicle's passenger cabin continually has a strong odor smell after longer drives or after the vehicle idles for a longer duration in time.  The vehicle was brought to Horne, KIA in Gilbert, AZ twice in June for same.  Both times the service department stated they could not duplicate the problem and could not ascertain that it has anything to do with recall SC368.  The problem continues at time of this writing (07/14/2026).    The strong fuel odor is causing headaches to family and young children.  The problem could not be reproduced but matches the SC368 recall.  KIA Customer Service was contacted today, and they advised the only thing they can do is trust their authorized service department that there are no concerns (Horne KIA).  I requested the matter be escalated, but my request was denied.

We purchased this vehicle toward the end of 2024.  Within the first 10 months, there were two major recall issues with this vehicle. The recalls were for the 2nd row seating becoming detached from the frame of the vehicle and the other recall was for the computer logic board having the chance of dying and/or frying.  These recalls were less than 10 months since date of purchase.  There is now another National Recall on this vehicle that was initiated on April 10, 2026. We are a non profit organization and this vehicle is part of our necessary fleet. We called the dealership and was told to bring it in.  We brought it in the following week and was told they were not notified yet of a recall.  We were told to call back in like 2-3 weeks.  We then called back three weeks later and were scheduled to bring the car in for repair.  When we arrived at the dealership, we were told "Oh we don't have the parts to fix this.  Call back in a few weeks."  We waited another three weeks and called back and were scheduled to bring the car in for repair.  Now today (June 11, 2026) I went to the dealership and was told once again..."Oh we don't have the parts.  Call back in like a month." Now, this recall states that the car should not be driven as the fuel leak is a high chance for a fire.  We are desperately trying to have this taken back to the dealership as a lemon car because after we bought this car there have now been three emergent recalls on this car.  We paid a lot of money to be able to use this vehicles for our non profit work and over an 18 month period, the car has been out of service for well over 6 months.  Dealership seems unable or unwilling to help us.  Dealership is:  Mark Kia 3333 N 89th St. Scottsdale, AZ 85251

The rear sliding door on the driver's side was not locking. I took it to the dealership and they have replaced the actuator, the wiring harness, and the IPM power module. None of this has fixed it. We now have a Kia special mechanic coming to [XXX] to take a look at it. I was told there are 19 other vehicles in [XXX] with the same issue.
