Description of the problem	The vehicle was stationary. We are a family of four. One of us open one of the rear doors and the handle came out completely. I don't know if it can be repair or not. I cover the hole with tape to protect the inner parts of the door from the water. The same thing happens with the handle of the other rear door. But in this case it does not come out completely and i use tape to maintain it in position. If something happens and the persons in the back sits are unable to open the rear doors from the inside one of the persons in the front sits have to get out the car and open the door that still have the taped handle. I don't know if this situation is going to affect the mechanism of the interior handles of the rear doors. I don't know if the taped handle is going to brake or when is going to brake. I read in the internet that this a problem of the sorentos of several years. Some of the persons in the internet ask why kia is not making a recall. I have a daughter of 16 years and a son of almost 15 years. My son does not have many limitations, but he has a syndrome. I am including photos of the doors.
