Description of the problem	The right rear passenger door on my 2011 kia sorento will not open from the inside or out since october, 2016. The dealerships that i have reached out to are quoting a $400. 00 pricetag to "fix" this issue that is obviously the fault of the manufacturer. In reading the forums and links on how to fix this, it has become apparent that kia refuses to address the thousands and thousands of consumers who have been affected by this and i am compelled to report as hopefully the nhtsa can compel kia to issue a recall for this widespread issue as it is indeed a safety issue. Does somebody have to die trapped in their kia for kia to address this?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
