Kia Sedona problems, by model year and system
545 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Kia Sedona 2016–2021, and the 1 system the record is deep on — engine (252). Each system has a page across the years; 2 model-year pages go deeper still. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate or a verdict on one car.

Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich Kia Sedona system draws the most complaints?
Engine: 252 complaints across 6 model years, 46% of everything owners filed about the Kia Sedona. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Kia Sedona year has the most complaints?
2016 (296), 2017 (134), 2018 (48). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
