| Description of the problem | Sooo many complaints of kia doors not opening from the inside. Kia is not issuing a voluntary recall of this. They should asap! As soon as someone's car catches fire and they can't get the doors open, there will be serious lawsuits. If you are under warranty when this happens, you are good to go. But one by one, the doors stop working.... And if out of warranty, dealers want $400+ per door lock. It would behoove kia to fix these asap before some child gets trapped inside. Go to cargurus. Com and you will see all the complaints. |
