| Description of the problem | The door locks have gone haywire. They click on and off automatically whether you are driving or if the engine has been turned off. Had to break the lock on the driver's side in order to exit the car. Passenger side will not open as well even via using a key in the door lock. This is an extreme safety hazard! Contacted kia a month ago, they never got back to me. I have seen on the internet where other kia owners have the same problem. |
