Description of the problem	The driver side door will not open from the inside, i had a similar problem with the passenger door about 6 months ago. I looked this up and it appears to be a problem with many of these kia cars. I am afraid that all the door might do this and i would not be about to get my grandkids out or if i had to get out in an emergency i could not exit. Now i have to roll down the window and reach outside the door to activate the door handle from the outside. My fear is this will stop working and i will be stuck in the car. I am an older person so crawling over the console would be almost impossible. I believe it is a broken door latch on the inside of the door
