Subject: Safety Complaint â Power Sliding Door Failure Injuring Child (2026 Kia Carnival)  I am submitting a safety complaint regarding a 2026 Kia Carnival.  During normal use, the vehicleâs automatic power sliding door closed while my [XXX] child was partially outside the vehicle near the door track area. The door continued to close and did not stop or reverse when it encountered my child, resulting in the child being pinned between the sliding door and the vehicle body.  I physically intervened by placing my body in the path of the door to stop it and remove my child. The child sustained bruising to the legs and torso.  The concern is a potential failure of the anti-pinch / obstruction detection system on the power sliding door, which is intended to prevent this type of injury.  I am requesting that this incident be documented and reviewed as a potential safety defect.  Vehicle: 2026 Kia Carnival Incident involved: automatic power sliding door failure to reverse upon obstruction Injury: bruising to a [XXX] child (legs and torso) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

KIA CARNIVAL 2026 STRUCTURE:BODY

Battery died at under 3,300 miles. After roadside came and jumped the batter, it died again after two days.   Jumped again for the second time, when driving the car around it would randomly shut off even when the car is moving at higher speeds on freeway. The shut off would be for just one second and comes back on - everything starts resetting. And goes to user authoriztions notifications. Car shut off three times while driving around.

The car now auto locks on the vehicle upon exit, even with key fobs in the car. The first few months I had the car this did not happen.   I left me keys and phone in the car. I turned vehicle off, exited the vehicle and walked around to get my daughter out of her car seat.  After about 5-8 seconds of walking around. The car automatically locked. The key fob was placed in the center console.   My 1 year old daughter was left trapped in the vehicle, placing her life in danger. I had to call emergency services and have them open it for me.   This is a huge saftey concern. I never changed any setting to allow for this. The car should not auto lock, and definitely should not lock with keys in the vehicle a few seconds after exiting.

Sliding Door Sensor Failed  My daughter was getting in the van, when her brother hit the door button, if my husband wouldnât have glanced over at that exact moment and pulled her back, this wouldâve been another story.  THE SENSOR IS NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH! We as mothers are demanding sensors sensitive enough to detect smaller, fragile children!
