I have this same issue,I'm told other kia's also have this issue. Friend of mmine says little pin/rod that goes from lock 2 handle needs adjusting,don't know.have body shop check it out 4 u or call kia.I'm sure they have heard of this problem.That's what i'm gonna do if I can get mine running,been down 4 about 2 wks. good luck
On mine if I lock the door while I was inside ,I could'nt open the door unless i rolled down the window and use the door handle,it was a bar inside thr door pannel that came loose and I had to re atached it.
I took mine in for a issue like that but it was from the door getting popped open when the keys got locked inside... They fixed it free of charge, warranty.
I am currently having the same problem. It strikes me odd that there are so many with the same problem. This seems to be a safety issue as well. If I need to get out of my car quickly and can't because I accidently locked the doors while inside. You would think there would be a recall on something this serious.
