Doors Won't Open From Outside
2011 Kia Sorento (Page 1 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?

Front Passenger Door will sometimes not open. This seems to be a random thing. I will lock and unlock again and again, but it won't open up. Eventually, I have to get in the driver's side and lean over to open the door from the inside.
