Description of the problem	On 6/18/16 my driver side front door would not open from the outside. I had been having ongoing problems with the remote key not working also. During routine oil changes, i would ask for the remote key to be checked and the service people would state they could not duplicate the problem. On 6/24/26 i took the car into my local kia service shop. They told me that the latch inside the door needed to be repaired and charged me $400. 00. While waiting for my car, i googled to see how much the latch should cost, but instead i happened upon s website car guru and found out that multiple people have been having the same problem. Some with multiple door latches gone bad. Some have been locked inside the car too. I it old the service guy what i saw on the web and ask why hasn't there been s recall. He respectfully told me to call the manufacturer. I did right then and there and put in a complaint with a kia consumer complaint case manager. Other say they have been reporting to kia and they won't recall the faulty latch. Not being able to get in and out of your car is very unsafe. This is a widespread problem and we need help. Thanks.
