The driver's side door will not unlock from either the inside or outside. The key won't work. I had to crawl over the passenger seat risking potential injury . This is a safety issue. I notified the dealer who said basically that it wasn't his dealership's problem and to call kia consumer number. I did call and he also said basically that it is not kia's problem, it is not a safety issue, and too bad for you. There are many documented instances of this door latch failing. It is a safety issue despite what the consumer rep said at kia. $50. 00 diagnosis cost plus , when the part finally comes in, another $230. 00 dollars. It is unacceptable for kia to ignore this safety issue.
