Optima

I live in Kansas, so it obviously rains and snows. It's a pain in the ass to jump from the driver's side to the passenger side to get out of my car, every time I go somewhere. I am not the only individual with this problem and find that Kia Motors is irresponsible for not fixing or recalling these vehicles when there are so many complaints. Including a class action lawsuit in California. Besides the fact that it's a pain in the ass, it's also very dangerous. I am locked in without any way of getting out of the driver's side, if an accident were to happen. I contacted a Kia dealer and it's a $1,000 to fix...$500.00 for labor and $500.00 for a new door...ridiculous!!!
