Description of the problem	2/21/16 my driver side door would not open regardless of unlock with alarm or with the key. I can only open from the inside which the only way to get in i have to climb over from the passenger side to get in. Yesterday the passenger side started to do the same. So now i have to go through the back side. I called the dealership i'm not under warranty. I had to go there 2/19 for another issue and it happen to be another lady there and her issue was guess what her doors. I didn't hear the whole conversation but called the dealership yesterday and told them my problem he stated there was a lady last week with same issue. It cost her $350 per door!! I think that is over the top and i shouldn't have to pay that much this should be a recall issue(im not the only one this is happening too)!!! I don't know when i will be able to get it fix. I guess ill be climbing over my seats for awhile and pray the 2 other doors don't lock up. My first and last kia......

What is Failure?
