Description of the problem	I went to the store and tried to open the back passenger driver's side door from the outside and it would not open. I thought that the child safety locks were on so i went inside from the opposite side and opened the door. Still haven't figured out why i can't open my door then today the other side will not open now. Both back doors will not open from the outside, this is a huge safety issue. What if there was an accident god forbid or a fire and i had my children or grandchild in my vehicle and could not get them out! Kia needs to recall this immediately. Looking back i can see a number of complaints and this is just unacceptable. Please help with this issue. Thank you

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
