On XXX, the passenger-side power sliding door of my 2024 Kia Carnival EX closed on my [XXX] childâs torso/chest while she was exiting the vehicle and did not stop or reverse before trapping her.

My 2024 Kia Carnival smells strongly like gasoline after about 15â20 minutes of driving. The smell gets worse at idle, worse the longer I drive, and seems even stronger with the A/C on. Two dealerships in Las Vegas have told me this is ânormal.â Meanwhile, I canât park it in my garage because the smell fills my house. Iâve had headaches and nausea, and my kids have complained of headaches and stomach aches too.
I was cleaning my van and my 2 year old daughter closed the opposite door and the sensors did not stop the door and she got her fingers smashed into the door and potentially broke her fingers, took her to the ER and we are to repeat X-rays in 7 to 10 days.
