| Description of the problem | A couple of months ago the passanger side door gave out, i can't open it from the outside, closely after the back driver side door did same thing . Now today my drivers side door and trunk won't open . I have one door that opens from the outside , i have to climb over or leave a window open to get into my car. Why hasn't there been a recall , this is so unsafe for us and our children. I loved my kia now i'm starting to think it was a bad purchase. I took my car to kia and was quoted $900 to fix two doors , i was told it was the actuator. |
