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.

The contact owns a 2011 Kia Sorento. While the vehicle was parked, the rear passenger door failed to open without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

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.

- Freemansburg, PA, USA

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.

- Statham, GA, USA

Driver-side front door will not open from the outside (will only open from inside). Drive-side rear door will not open from inside or outside. Passenger-side rear door will not open from inside or outside.

- Nashville, IL, USA

Already filed complaint about 2 doors that you cannot open from the outside of the vehicle when unlocked, now I have a 3rd door that won't open from the outside while unlocked. Gonna have to climb in from the hatchback pretty soon. They all open from the inside, not the outside. So now I have to leave the child safety locks open all the time, hopefully my 3 yr olds won't pull on the door handle from the inside and fall out of the vehicle. All this within the last 3 weeks. I'm guessing somebody has to die before this will be recalled. Going to call dealer today to see what they say.

- Worth, IL, USA

The drivers side door will not open from the outside. My car has just over 40,000 miles. If there were an emergency, accident were the driver was unresponsive, a responder could not open the door from the outside to reach the driver. A Kia dealer service manager believes the problem is a failed door latch and the repair cost is approximately $450-$500.

Kia Sorento 2011. Parked. First it was one door, just stopped opening from the outside, opens from inside, unless you put child safety lock on, then it won't open at all. Then today the other side not opening from the outside. All open from inside, only problem is what to do when all four stop opening from outside. If my kid is in there, falls asleep, and it's hot outside, how do I get the kid out if I can't open from outside, somebody is going to be seriously hurt or killed from this problem. From the looks of things there has been a lot of problems with these doors.
