Description of the problem	This morning just 5 min after putting my daughter in her car seat i went to go grab her out of the rear passenger side and the door handle broke off in my hand. I am not a very strong person so this surprised me greatly. Upon further investigation into google i see this is a known problem which is insane and if i have to go replacing all my door handles as they break i will not be buying a kia again. I hope this is a one time thing but think that is really is an issue as some people use the child lock and would make it hard to get in that side if that were the case.
