2011 Kia Sorento 116,000. Regularly maintained.the first problem was the driver side back door will not open from the outside, that happened about 6 months ago. Now, my driver side door won't open from the outside. In addition, recently my car has just shut off while driving; foot on the gas at it is not doing anything (no engine light). We park it, shut it off and restart and it will work fine for a while. There is some sort of acceleration problem. I can stop at stop sign and lightly increase my speed and it will tug like engine. No accidents. This is a huge safety concern with having 2 small children in the back seat. If I were in an accident, I would not be able to get my child out of the back. If I was in accident, someone couldn't help me or my children. This to me is very serious! Sept 2017 date of back door issue not opening from outside. 3/22/18 drivers door not opening from outside. Car shutting off and not working properly as been since about Jan/2018. There is something wrong with headlights too. Since 1/2017, bulbs are good but they just work for a while and then one or the other stops working out of nowhere.

Door latches -both back doors will not open from the outside, 1 will not open at all. Now the drivers door will not open from the outside. Its very dangerous and the car just passed the 100K miles so warranty is useless. There was a recall that replaced the inside door handles for cosmetic reasons on the front, there is obviously a bigger problems. My local body shop couldn't even figure it out and told me to go to dealer who is trying to charge me $110 just to diagnose it. It should be recalled for safety reasons.

- Glen Burnie, MD, USA

One day we went to open the driver side back door from the outside and it no longer opened. There was no damage done to the door it just stopped working. When I contacted Kia they didnt see it as being a safety issue. In my eyes it S ahuge issue if my girls and I were in a wreck and safety crews wouldnt be able to open the door from the outside!

I am unable to open my drivers side rear door from the outside. This seems to be quite a prevelent problem on several Kia models. I have seen that many people have had the same problem. Some with multiple doors on the same vehicle. This is a sfety issue as you can't quickly get into the vehicle to if you had small children in the back and ther was an emergency or if first responders needed access to the back or any door that had this problem for that matter. The reason I am reporting this is that I have seen too many people with this issue on there Kia Sorentos and other models.

- Streamwood, IL, USA

Driver's side door handle malfunctioned. Can unlock door with key or key fob, but door will not open. Have to climb into back seat to manually open driver's side door. This is a safety issue! completely ridiculous to have to do when it's raining, or when needing to enter the car quickly. I'm reading online that it is a faulty actuator switch. Dealers are charging up to $500 to fix. This needs to be a recall from the manufacturer. Not bragging about my Kia anymore.
