The driver door become jammed and sometimes will not open. You have to continuously/excessively jerk on it. Due to not opening, i have to crawl through the passenger side door in order to gain entrance into the vehicle. Not only that, after finally getting the driver door to open, i have to leave it crack to avoid this struggle.

After repairing the mass air flow hose,purge valve,and the valve cover gasket. It didn't pass the state inspection. I was told to drive it a little longer to put miles on the car. So i did.. After seven week going back to have it check it was still showing not ready. The merchanic there couldn't tell me what the problem and their subjested to take it to the dealer after putting 1175 miles on my car

I am a disabled woman who became trapped in her own car because the lock mechanism on the door would not open nor could i roll down the window. This is unacceptable. I tried to climb over the gearshift to try the passenger door and hurt my back in the process. I called 911 for help

Closed driver's door and door would not reopen. I took car to auto shop and mechanic finally got door to open after about an hour and a half. He thought he had repaired the door and closed it, but when he tried to open the door for final inspection, again it would not open normally and upon further inspection he found the door lock mechanisms were not functioning correctly from the way they had been manufactured. And there was a recall on the kia door lock mechanisms including my car's year, make and model. I am concerned this is a serious hazard, especially since i transport small children, some in car seats. My car is an older car and i would like all four locks replaced with 'up to standard' locks.

One morning i turned the car on and the air bag light came on and has not gone off! ; (

The light for my air bag has been staying on and my horn quit working for over a year now. I finally took it to the shop for them to look at it, they told me it was a clock switch (i believe i said that right) which is something in the steering connected to the airbag and horn. I am concerned that the airbag might activate while i am driving which would not be good. Maybe even not work if i get in a wreck.
| No | No | N | None | None | 20160103 |
Airbag light came on for no reason and will not go off. The driver seat and sunroof have an electrical issue where they work then don't, found that the switches are bad and work sometimes.

Locked car after buying it used drivers door will not unlock. Multiple complaints online about this problem. My daughter was going to drive this thing. Kia dealer did not even mention this to me, but did say it was 200 minimum. I hope this gets investigated. In an accident the door will never open. I drove the car home and after 2 hours it will not unlock.
