Be sure to file a complaint to the NSTSA (feds) so if they get enough complaints its raised to an investigative level and they can pressure KIA to fix the problem. Its a serious safety issue.
Tried that. Didn’t work for me. Replaced two ignition relays and one starter relay in the power distribution box under the hood. It’s been almost a month and everything still working fine. So I hope I put my finger on my problem. It’s quite possible Kia has many sources for this problem.
not sure if your problem but may help others with similar, my kia Sedona on 08 plate suddenly acted like flat battery with the click from the starter like not enough power, battery was fine ended up being a problem with the gear shifty, try to put in neutral and see if it will start if so then it is the gear shift cable it is behind the plastics in the footwell of the car, in the uk version i got to it through the plastic panel on the left side in the foot well take that off or pull it back and there is a gold coloured loop at the end of the gear shift cable with a nut and bolt loosen and move the cable a little bit forwards tighten and test to see if it starts now (be careful if you pull or push it to far in one direction it will engage other gears so take your time and when starting keep foot on brake till you sure the car not already in a gear) i found my first adjustment made the car reverse but second was the sweet spot and it solved the problem totally and has been fine ever since that was about 2 years ago so back in 2020 June i think. hope it helps some one.
Tap The big square pink relay in the fuse box under the steering wheel and turn the key at the same time and it will start if not immediately but after a few mins. I’m here at Kia in Perris, Ca to get a oil change and it did the same thing. They couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t start and I went into the bay did that and it started. Walked away like a boss 😂😎 taught them a thing or two. I’m like where is my paycheck now lol.
It happen to me today!!! I flicked the bottom pink relay in the fuse box on left under the steering wheel and the darn thing started up like nothing had happened!!! Should ok d I just replace the relay? Well, whatever, it worked!!!!
So i don't know if this will help but, replace three relays under hood in the relay/fuse box. For the 2017 kia Sorento. They are labeled starter and two are labeled ignition. It seemed to make my issue disappear for now its been 3 weeks since I've had the issue. The relays are cheap DIY repairs. Maybe $30 or less for all three relays. I don't know which relay is the culprit because it was too easy to change all three. Further this is an electrical issue and might still be of issue and illusive. Ill post again if problem recurs.
It's a fuse next to the steering wheel panel that you need to give a strong tap/flick to as your starting your car. It's a pink bigger square fuse. Before you try anything else try this. It's free and it works. I promise. Unless it's the starter but try this first
had the same exact problem for 3 years went through it all changed IPM banged under dash changed starter relay ignition switch finally even though against all recommendations changed the starter myself and have not had a problem for over a year!! so frustrating always go for easy fix.
I change the starter but that didn't help but what I did do is I change the battery and I got about three months with no problem and then all of a sudden it's doing it again so frustrating
@@PotatoeChipz they tested the battery for me at AutoZone so I didn't see the code but like I said it worked for about 3 months then all of a sudden it's doing it again... So what I do...I literally turn the key from off to on about 10 times and then on the 10th time I hold it for about 10 seconds and repeat... and that works for me so far
I am sitting in my Kia Sedona 2017 I have this same problem. I believe it has something to do with the weather. When the weather is below 37 degrees in my car is when I have this problem.
2005 Kia Sedona. Same problem started a few days ago, I've only had it for about 3 months. Starts great, drives great, sometimes for awhile then randomly, it won't start. Current solution is to smack the shit and it works. I'm going to test the fuse theory next time it happens and plan for replacing the cheapest parts at a time until it's fixed. Starter relay, ignition switch, starter. I'll keep ya posted.
Happens to us occasionally also.... first time, after getting a rental and going back to my work, our mechanics at my work tested everything... then I read an article that suggested the dead battery in the keyfob can put it into antileft mode or something like that....i took the keyfob out of the car and then my husband started it like nothing was ever wrong.
I had the issue replaced the starter and the issue returned 3 month later. What we found out is that we shake the car and it starts like nothing was wrong. -another yt video tells to tap the fuses under the steering wheel. I’ll try that next time.
I have Kia Sedona 2015 and same symptoms, changed the starter relay however the root cause was the Neutral Position switch, it detects if selector is on P or N, internal wearing out makes this negative / ground circuit behaves faulty. Randomly start to fail and no crank is the result only click click. In case you need to start, just keep a wire jumper to do it from the starter relay, make sure is in P and switch ON.
I have had this issue happen. I definitely think this model has electric issues. Anyway, I tried to jump the van to no avail and then installed a new battery and again the van wouldnt start. My fix was, after testing the relays, and determined they were working as expected I traced my problem to the negative cable to the battery. I took the old negative cable off and sanded a the metal connection points of both the cable and the connection point on the metal sidewall to insure a solid connection. After I reconnected the battery issue was resolved. Again I think the electrical system is finicky but my problems always come back to the ground cable. About five years before I had another electrical issue where the van would suddenly throw all the error lights and stall completely. I was told it was the battery then told it was the alternator and had both installed but the van only ran until the original charge of the battery ran out and the van stalled again. I installed a new negative cable making sure to sand the metal connection points. After the fix I didn’t have any issue until the recent above. Which again was resolved by sanding and reconnecting the negative cable.
And you can't always go by the battery either because just because the lights and stuff come on doesn't mean you always have a good battery if it's not going to put out enough cranking apps to flip the starter and it takes a lot of power to turn that little motor
I'm having the exact problem right now. If I take off the positive cable & wait 4-5 min. Put cable back on it starts right up. I can't keep doing this, getting stranded with Winter coming on & not being safe. What do I do to solve this??
Have the same car same issues, it is the immobilizer, also get a starter relay to bypass , most time i hold it in start position this way whe. The chip is recognized it starts, i was caught in the cold for over an hour. I love my car hate this issue
I have a 2011 Sonada. I have the same problem. I believe in is the neutral safety switch. I was replacing the switch but decided it was an adjustment problem. I loosened the control cable where it attaches to the shift lever. It seeks its own position. I would not rotate the switch position. Just a small movement can cause it not to start. I had to play with it to start again. All seems fine now.
I'm having the same problem with my 2012 Sedona LX. For the second time. The dealer service center looked at it a while back and said the battery needed to be replaced. They did so, and the problem seemed to stop, which surprised me. Months later, it's happening again, but differently. This time, bypassing the starter relay doesn't do anything. (???)
I have a 2015 Kia Sedona and I have the same issue. The thing that is weird is that this happens only during the cold season and not in the summer or when it’s warmer outside. Very strange.
2006 Sedona minivan when this happens to us we have to get out lock it and unlock it again with the key ,get in ,put foot on brake then it will start , sounds crazy don't it ? But so far that's the combination that has worked for us 🤔
Try this: Open the fuse box in front of your left knee. Under the steeringwheel. And tap around smoothly on all the fuses. And the relais. Do it smoothly. Then try to start ;-)

I am living in UAE. I am facing the same problem with kia carnival 2006 model. Starter cranking but not starting and sometime it's starting perfectly.Anybody got lucky in finding the solution yet? Please share. This problem started a week ago and when it goes to mechanic, it is behaving well.
It looks like your steering wheel is not straight, as in 9:00 to 3:00. Try pulling your steering wheel clockwise as you turn the key. I know this sounds ridiculous, but the only time mine won't start is when the steering wheel is turned, and pulling it as I described and turning the key starts it every time.
I'm having the same problem with my 2009 Kia Sedona started happening now that the weather dropped in the morning it won't start at all today it was like 2:00 in the afternoon till the temperature went up to almost 80 and it started immediately other people say it has something to do with a cold to keep it garage but I have no garage
I have a 2005 kia sedona and have replaced everything and still a no start no crank. The van starts every now again. I think when I shut driver side door it rattles fuses by steering wheel and causes van to start.
I HAD THIS PROBLEM. take out the epm 1 and epm 2 fuses, then push them back in. you should hear a click. then it will start. this is how i did it when i had this problem. the fuse box is right at your knee in the driver seat.
It’s the relay in your fuse boxThis relay is also tied in with the antitheft system, left side of the steering wheel pull the cover off the fuse box look in it. There’s two pink fuses big box style. It’s the bottom one, tap on it with your finger as you start the vehicle it will fire up every time. You could also replace the Relay and shit so if the problem.
So i replaced the starter relay in the electrical box under hood. There appear to be three possible relays. Two ignition and one starter. I replaced starter relay. That did NOT fix problem.
We have the same problem we remove the alternator relay inside the car in the fuse panel relay is square in the upper right hand corner on the driver side and plug it back in and the car will start. Kia's have a problem with a valve covers leaking and the oil drips into the alternator if this happens you will have to replace the alternator.
I have a 2009 Kia Sedona and it does the exact same thing intermittently will not start but all the cluster Dash radio power locks Windows all work I have noticed that some days it will just start right up other days if it's hot or cold it just won't start other days when it's an average 72° temperature sometimes it just won't start. I have to turn take the key out of the ignition switch flip it around and then try turning the starter switch several times and then it starts but when it does start it sounds like there's a weakness with power going to the starter I wonder if this has something to do with the relay switch allowing the power to go to the solenoid to open up and send power to the starter? I'm not sure but always little trucks will help does anyone have a Defined answer I have not read all the comments
My grandma's won't start sometimes and other times it starts just fine can't figure out what it is. Did you ever get yours figured out? I think it sounds like you need a new starter since it's just spinning and not kicking out all the way to start the car
Mine is even worse. Car starts and works fine but randomly sometimes for less than a min sometimes more than half an hour no lights come on the dash and the clock goes out too. You can't even lock it or unlock it using the remote. Then after it's made you scratch your head for ages, it works like normal again
I have a 2005 kia sedona with the same problem and what I do is with the key only go back and forth a few times and then start. I took it in but every time I take it in the sedona start fine
I have a 2017 Kia Sedona and I have the same problem one time I can go out in the car and it'll start up and run just fine for about a week or two and all of a sudden it won't start I did the same thing took it to dealers had them check it out they couldn't find anything wrong with it dishing out money and even change the batteries in the remote done everything I could think of and everything checks out okay nothing to matter with it but my car just randomly it just won't start
Had the same problem with a 2008 Kia Sedona, started at 55k miles under warranty but dealer could never get it to NOT START so they refused to test it . I bypassed IPS module as per you tube video on ruclips.net/video/QUYk4f35xbM/видео.html. Worked for a few weeks then problem again. I replace starter relay under hood in fue box, worked a little. I put car in neutral to start and bypass neutral cut off switch. Worked two weeks. Finally replaced starter with Chinese made starter, not kIA starter. Works so far. You just have to keep trying. some have problem with grounding strap. Try that too. KIA really screwed up big time by not taking responsibility for this. I called them many times, they politely refused to acknowledge the problem was manifold and theirs to fix. They said, take it to dealer. But dealer couldn't find anything wrong. Thousands of people have this problem, but KIA does not acknowledge. That was the last KIA/Hyundai I will ever buy.
KIA SEDONA 2017 I HAVE THIS PROBLEM TO. MY SEDONA MAKE A CLICKING NOISE LIKE . TAK TAK TAK TAK . AND DON'T STAR IN TILL 4 O 5 TIMES START. MY STARTER IS NEW. BATTERY GOOD. SO WTF? WILL SEE 👀
this might be your answer. Shows testing and replacement of the starter relay. It also shows replacement of the neutral starter switch. Even shows disassembly of the relay and cleaning of the contacts which was evidently the issue with that relay. Oh forgot the link: ruclips.net/video/1iPCIqrmDBs/видео.html
I have Kia Sedona 2015 and same symptoms, changed the starter relay however the root cause was the Neutral Position switch, it detects if selector is on P or N, internal wearing out makes this negative / ground circuit behaves faulty. Randomly start to fail and no crank is the result only click click. In case you need to start, just keep a wire jumper to do it from the starter relay, make sure is in P and switch ON.
They need to do a factory recall on these cars because we can't all have the same problem and it be a individual issue
Do not ever buy another KIA or Hyundai (same car). Lousy dealer service. This would never happen with Toyota or Honda or Subaru.
Yessss mine IS DOING THIS ISSUE AS WE SPEAK
Be sure to file a complaint to the NSTSA (feds) so if they get enough complaints its raised to an investigative level and they can pressure KIA to fix the problem. Its a serious safety issue.

I'm having Same problem
Had the same problem with a 2008 Kia Sedona, started at 55k miles under warranty but dealer could never get it to NOT START so they refused to test it . I bypassed IPS module as per you tube video on ruclips.net/video/QUYk4f35xbM/видео.html. Worked for a few weeks then problem again. I replace starter relay under hood in fue box, worked a little. I put car in neutral to start and bypass neutral cut off switch. Worked two weeks. Finally replaced starter with Chinese made starter, not kIA starter. Works so far. You just have to keep trying. some have problem with grounding strap. Try that too. KIA really screwed up big time by not taking responsibility for this. I called them many times, they politely refused to acknowledge the problem was manifold and theirs to fix. They said, take it to dealer. But dealer couldn't find anything wrong. Thousands of people have this problem, but KIA does not acknowledge. That was the last KIA/Hyundai I will ever buy.
Mine does same I have to go threw the gears an then it will start
Exact same problem
KIA SEDONA 2017 I HAVE THIS PROBLEM TO. MY SEDONA MAKE A CLICKING NOISE LIKE . TAK TAK TAK TAK . AND DON'T STAR IN TILL 4 O 5 TIMES START. MY STARTER IS NEW. BATTERY GOOD. SO WTF? WILL SEE 👀
I know this guy
this might be your answer. Shows testing and replacement of the starter relay. It also shows replacement of the neutral starter switch. Even shows disassembly of the relay and cleaning of the contacts which was evidently the issue with that relay. Oh forgot the link: ruclips.net/video/1iPCIqrmDBs/видео.html
Here is the fix on this issue

File complaints to nhtsa.gov. Here they are aggregated and if there enough an investigation is launched. .
I have Kia Sedona 2015 and same symptoms, changed the starter relay however the root cause was the Neutral
Position switch, it detects if selector is on P or N, internal wearing out makes this negative / ground circuit behaves faulty. Randomly start to fail and no crank is the result only click click. In case you need to start, just keep a wire jumper to do it from the starter relay, make sure is in P and switch ON.
I wish I knew what you were saying. Where do you put the wire jumper? How?
