2011 KIA SORENTO Unknown Or Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	One of the 2011 kia sorento door handles not working since 09/11/2015 and now the other driver side door handle stopped working since 04/18/2015. This is really frustrating, as i could open the door from inside but not from outside. I have two small kids, one infant and one 5 year old and i have to sneak one of them into the other door to open my driver side door. I am really frightened if what will happen if the child door is locked my infant is in the car seat and i am not able to go inside my car. This is a potential hazard for my infant child. Kia has to really step forward and replace this faulty mechanism. The cost my kia dealer estimates is 225/- per door, so it will end up in 450/- bucks for me and also the rep at kia dealer told me to go ahead and change all four door parts as the original parts used by kia is really cheap and its of plastic. So it will cost me around 900/- to fix my doors. I urge the kia company to really fix this asap before someone gets hurt and/or result into fatality.
