| Description of the problem | My car has 2 door handles that have fallen off. One right after another. This is also something i see frequently on other kia sorentos i pass on the road so obviously this is a common occurrence and it needs to be fixed. I did not pay for a car to have to stick my arm through and around to the other door to open it, that's ridiculous. Also, the car was in park in the drive way at my parents house, it wasn't even turned on, the keys weren't even in it. |
