Has anyone else had issues with their turn signal not working correctly? Specifically at random times when I press down on the stalk to turn left, the signal will not start flashing. I have to flip it back up and down again or press down just a bit more to get it to start blinking. It only does it on left turns. Even on lane change as well.
Turn signal issues

Update on the issue with our Carnival. The dealership have replaced the indicator stalk/switch unit and it is now working perfectly, even has a better feel to it, nice and solid not loose like it was before. There was no cost involved either as our car was still under warranty, just.
Same here. The dealership replaced the "multifunction switch" and it completely fixed the blinker issue. When I first took it to the dealership, they couldn't reproduce it because it was so intermittent so I came back with a video of it not turning on the blinker and also turning on the wrong blinker and they fixed it up. As with yours NZOC, mine has a better feel now too.
Luckily, mines hasn’t shown so far. my turn signal bulbs are incandecents. Normally got direct feed wires unlike LED bulbs.
IMO: Possibilites,
1) turn signal relays(blinker)
2) The Stalk.
What will I do: - 1) If this issue happens, I will activate the hazard right away. 😬. If hazard working well then, you can isolate the problem in switching(stalk/signal lever).
Good luck & Stay Negative✌

what was the price quota on this fix and did u use a dealership/.
yes am having the same issues also with my 2018 sadona ex...
I recently checked with my dealer to see if there was a recall or warranty extension on this. Unfortunately there's not.
I have the same problem. Now my low beam lights don't work. Have you gotten yours fixed?
Can you tell me what you had replaced? Thank you
Did Kia contact you? Was anything done about the problem? Thanks
No response from KIA
At the dealership now...saying they will try to diagnose the issue. I showed Frank the service guy the forum stating what the issue is and what seems to fix it and that it usually only happens when the car is in motion. He said they will diagnose and let me know. I’m surprised no recall has been issued on something so dangerous and we as customers have to pay for this issue.
First I had the original appointment set with everything listed to be done, only to be told they wouldn’t be able to get in done in time. They give me a loaner, but I had to postpone leaving for out of town, so they can work on it on Saturday. The dealership fixes 2 of the 4 issues, but needed to order parts for the sliding door recall and multifunction box.
Next day driving to DC the passenger airbag light comes back on that they supposedly fixed on Saturday from the recall. I take a picture and email it to the service department that the wiring harness must still not be fixed. They tell me, I might have to pay a diagnostic charge...I refuse and now they will look at it again.
I get an email stating all parts have arrived. I call and ask to verify all parts including multifunctional box are in...the woman confirms and books appointment for Saturday 8am. Receive a call Friday night to confirm Saturday. Arrive Saturday to be told I don’t have an appointment, but they’ll get me in. While sitting in courtesy vehicle... get a call asking if I’ve arrived for my appointment! Seriously!
Get a call after getting home that the multifunctional box is not in yet, so the car will need to come back again!
Dealership finally got the multi function box in, but now says the earliest they can get the car in is the beginning of July to install it! I guess it’s no big deal that people have almost slammed into the back of my van multiple times, because they think I’m turning right , when I actually activated the left turn signal. How this is not a mandatory recall with over 18 reports to NTSB is beyond me. I’ll pay the $600 as it’s a small price to keep my family safe, but unfortunately it will take a major accident it looks like before they issue a recall! Very disappointed overall with Bev Smith Kia service.

If you do get hit, make sure to tell the insurance that Kia knew your car was unsafe and you asked them to repair it

will keep that under check, but how can you notice this kind of issues : when someone you know follows you and tells you, or when you look at the reflection of the car in windows, in other car's reflections, etc? I would check it with the car stopped but seems like this happens intermittently and with the car in movement.

A WD40 fix would actually sound like you changed the blinker fluid
I got the multifunction switch from Kia and had my local mechanic install it and have not had any problems since.

Having the same issue. only effect is on the left side when I partially press it to get the three blinks for a lane change. works fine when it's pressed all the way down. I might try the wd 40 trick if I can get time to take the switch out. seems to be gunk buildup since I rapidly operated the switch up and down and it stopped the problem for a couple of days.

Thank you for going through this effort. I have a 2017 Kia Sedona that I have had intermittent left turn and driver side sliding door issues with since 2018. My vehicle is just outside the recall dates for the turn signal issues and extended warranty for the switch. I just filed a complaint with NHTSA and Kia corporate. I don't know what to do at this point. Had it into the dealer 8 times over the past 3 years. I think they are pushing off any fixes until after my warranty runs out which is very soon. Finally was referred to a 2nd dealership service center. Crossing my fingers!
