Doors Won't Open From Outside
2011 Kia Sorento (Page 2 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Kia dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Kia really changed the design of the Sorento in the 2011 model year. Instead of a truck-like body-on-frame more capable of offroad adventures, the newest Sorento is a unibody construction and is much more crossover than sport utility. The changes brought a whole slew of problems, including a frustrating problem where the door that won’t open. Is it too late to go back?

I've always loved my Kia Sorrento and used to tell my family and friends what a great vehicle it is. But over the summer the drivers side door stopped opening from the outside. I couldn't understand what was happening and finally got a quote to get it fixed for $700 CAD. I haven't gotten it repaired yet, just keep the window down or stretch across from the back seat door. A couple of days ago the same thing happened to the back door on my passenger side - it won't open from the outside!! My friends are making fun of me, asking if being able to open the doors is a 'feature' on the Sorrento,!!
I think this is a real safety issue, but haven't been able to find a recall notice. Can anyone help?
