| Description of the problem | I have had several issues with my kia sorento beginning in 2013 two of my doors in the car would not open from the outside only the inside. The doors was the front passenger side and the rear driver side. The most recent door that i am experiencing problems with is the front passenger side. I can not open the door from the outside only the inside. I have also experienced issues with my power windows. Last year the front driver window broke and now this year the rear driver window is broken. I have reached out to kia numerous of times b/c being locked out of your car is a safety issues. I have had really strange things happening with my kia that's really unheard of. I have also asked kia to look into if my car is possibly one of their lemons. *js |
