Description of the problem	My key fob was sounding like the doors locked but the car headlights did not flash or horn sound to signal the car was locked/security feature. The dealer said there was nothing wrong with the battery in the fob, and let it be as that. Today my car is in the shop because i was in the rear seats this week and noticed the back driver side passenger door was not locking. I had trouble getting out too. This explains why the car horn did not beep nor the headlights flash, as it was not a locked car, there is a issue and the car is not secure, that is why it did not beep. It will sound like the doors locked and unlocked but at this time it is just this one door that will not lock. It is not under the kia warranty now and it was noted, per this tech today, that when i first mentioned the key or fob issue was after the regular warranty too. I see online lots of comsumer comments about kia door lock issues. This is a safety issue. This should be a major recall. Now i have to pay about $280. 00 for this one door lock. And pray this takes care of it
