When inside the car , and door locks are actuated The only way to unlock the door (s) is to roll the window down and use the key from the outside to sufficiently actuate the locking mechanism to beable to open the door.
The Locks all go click... and the little buttons all move in acordance to what once was the unlock proceedure... but in order to get the mechanism to enguage sufficiently , the key must be used while simultaniously pulling the latch handle.
Started on the drivers door only... and now the passangers side is the same way...

Door locks freeze up and you have to lock and unlock the door several times for it to disengage and open up.

Door will relock automatically. Takes 3 -4 min using key to open. Very dangerous. does not open inside with handle.

have not been able to open my driver's side car door for 5 months now. I purchased the vehicle in 2009 when it had 54000 miles on it. I keep hoping there will be a recall, but to my knowlege nothing so far.

Doors stays in lock position can't get out or in

went to the grocery store.returned to car and was unable to unlock front driver door with key nor from inside (09/2010).IN(05/2011)I prepared to leave home with passangers and was unable to unlock the front passenger door.Thus,I was named the chaffeur and have waited afull month along with two trips to KIA"s service dept.

front driver & front passenger door cannot open

Looks like the latch assembly is "frozen". I have taken the inside door cover off and looking at the assembly and the actuator. The door is in the lock position and the lock itself will not allow me to leave the door unlocked. I push on the rods towards the back to unlock the door and the rods do push, but return to the lock position. I am trying to fix myself and will update everyone if they want to know.....

The only door that works properly is the drivers door. The back doors unlock sometimes. The front passenger door can unlock, but when I pull the handle it relocks. Sometimes I'll unlock all of the doors and try to open a door and they all relock. This is so dangerous. I can't have any passengers as they might get locked in. I hurt my rotator cuff trying to load the passenger side from the drivers side. This should be covered by Kia immediately.

Door Locks Malfunction Not Allowing Driver or Passanger to Open Their Doors. At the present time I have a piece of wood jammed in the door lock so it will not lock.. If door locks, I cannot get out of vehicle. Kia doesn't seem to be doing anything about the problem..
