Description of the problem	I have been having problems with my driver door and passenger door opening from the outside. I have to open the back door to get in to the front. This has been going on for over 3 years. I've spoken to the dealer ship place where i got the car from, and they informed me it was nothing they could do about it. I also took it to the kia dealership and they told me it's not a recall or anything can do about it unless i pay for them to fix it. I don't think this is right at all. I am not a ruff driver and i try to take good care of my car. I do not feel as if i should have to pay for this. There are so many people complaining about the same thing going on with their doors and we are not getting any help at all. They are not worrying that we have to pay the car note plus the car insurance and its nothing they can do unless we pay for it. Not to mention if it was someone trying to harm me and my kids. We would have to go through the back door to get in the front to start the car and pull off. That's not if you was to go on cargurus. Com you would see all the complaints. Is there anything that you all can help us with please let us know. Thank you. Also the date i put in is not correct it would not let me put 2014.
