Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 KIA OPTIMA. WHEN I USE THE REMOTE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THEY UNLOCK. THEN WHEN I PULL ON THE HANDLE THE DRIVER SIDE, IT AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS. IF I AM INSIDE THE CAR AND HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON IT UNLOCKS BUT WHEN I PULL THE HANDLE IT LOCKS AGAIN. I CAN GET OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2006 SO IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 4400. *TR
