| Description of the problem | Purchased a kia certified used 2011 sorento with only 49,000 miles. After 2 months today went to the garage to get in the car and the driver door handle no longer works from the outside. Apparently this is common based on the complaints. Am taking it to the dealer in a few days to see if they can address this issue. |
