| Description of the problem | My driver side 2011 kia sorento door handles stopped working on 05/27/2016. This is really frustrating, as i could open the door from inside but not from outside. I think it's a safety issue in case of an a accident/fire. This is a potential hazard for my family. Kia has to really step forward and replace this faulty mechanism. My car is just out of warranty and the estimate to fix it is $400. 00. I urge the kia company to really fix this asap before someone gets hurt and/or result into fatality. There too many people having this problem. |
