Description of the problem	2011 kia sorrento/the car the lock mechanism failed. The car will not lock with the key fob or when pushing the locks in the door. Approximate failure was 80,000 miles. Took it to the dealer said i was over mileage for the repair. It will cost about $800 for repair. I am seeking advice to see if extended warranty will cover this cost.
