Over the course of the past 6 months, I have had several problems with the door handles on this 2011 Kia Sorento. After searching online, ive found its a major problem that Kia refuses to recall. This is absurd. The front two doors on the Kia will not open from the outside, but will from the inside. One of the back doors has a handle that has broken off after little use. Ive read hundreds of stories of this happening and Kia needs to make this right. The extensive labor it takes into removing the door handle is the problem for the price. Most service dealers want hundreds of dollars to fix a plastic door latch/actuator and that is a rip off. These need to be recalled immediately for safety reasons. If a crash were to happen, and the inside also quits working, how would you exit the vehicle?

You say you want me to report it when the manufacturer fails to perform the recall work, but you have no way for anyone to do that. You are as bad as the manufacturer who failed me. I can't count on you to do anything, you've made that very apparent.

- Jasper, IN, USA

I have two doors that will not open from the outside. I searched online and see that this is a common problem but I do not see a recall. I think something needs to be done to force Kia to recall and fix this problem

Driver's side door will not open from the outside.

- Jacksonville, NC, USA

My drivers side door does not open from the outside. I can open it from the inside, but not the outside. It is not locked and seems to be a huge safety hazard and a very common problem according to all of the other Sorento owners and complaints out there. I'm terrified...what if a life or death situation occurs and the only door I can use is the drivers side and it won't open? nothing happened to my door to make this happen. I came out to the garage one morning and it wouldn't work.

Front driver's side door is not opened from outside. Only opened from inside.

- Norwalk, CA, USA

Driver's side door will not open from the outside presenting a safety issue if an emergency were to take place and a rescue was needed for the driver of the vehicle. Shortly after the driver's side door failed, the back driver's side door had the same issue and will not open from the other side. Once again, a safety issue that should be recalled.

- Eugene, OK, USA

Door locks will not open from outside the door lock assembly has broken on two of my doors, the passenger front and the driver side rear. This is clearly a problem based on the amount of complaints and should be recalled. There is no guarantee if you get them fixed, with original Kia parts, that it will not happen again. This clearly is a safety problem.

I just bought a 2011 Kia Sorento last week with 39,000 miles on it. When I went to get in this morning to go to work my driver's side door would not open. I can only open it from the inside. I tried locking and unlocking it and nothing. It still does not open from the outside.

The drivers side rear door will not open from either the inside or outside. This is ridiculous. There are literally thousands of the same complaints online and the Kia dealers are replacing those that are under warranty, and brand new ones (door actuator problem). It is obviously a factory defect, yet Kia won't issue a recall for the door actuator. I want to be able to use my back seat. Also a safety issue if my family is in the back seat.

- Honesdale, PA, USA

Driver and rear passenger door handles no longer open doors from the outside. Rear door from inside or out due to engaged child lock

- Mcdonough, GA, USA

Takata recall. My drivers side passenger door will not open from the inside or outside. When I contacted the dealer they told me that it isn't covered under warranty anymore. They said it will cost $4oo. This site is full of these complaints so why isn't there a recall on it" does a child have to get stuck in one of these cars and die before it is fixed?"

- Chatsworth, GA, USA

70,000 miles on this vehicle. Driver side door cannot be opened from the outside. Very serious safety issue with many complaints filed. Cheap plastic mechanism is to blame. Many other complaints on other doors also.

- Rome, GA, USA

Driver side rear passenger door will not open from the outside. Can open from the inside only. Huge safety risk of not able to remove small child from the vehicle. Also, in case of accident, not allowing exterior extraction without breaking glass.
