| Description of the problem | I have not been able to open my driver side back door for over a year. It will not open from the inside or the outside. Due to not being able to open the door it is practically impossible to fix it as we cannot get to the hinges inside of the car unless we remove the entire inside of the door and cut the door off of the car. This is a huge safety hazard kia that needs to be fixed! |
