Consumer Description

I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THREE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES NOT WORKING ON MY 2011 KIA SORENTO ON 4/29/2015. COMPLAINT NUMBER 10713499. AS OF TODAY STILL NO RECALLS. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING FROM KIA TO REPAIR. MY WIFE SPOKE TO KIS SERVICE REP AND WAS TOLD HE HAD MANY CALLS ABOUT EXTERIOR HANDLES NOT WORKING FROM 2011 - 2016 MODELS OF SORENTOS. KIA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. IF ANY ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY HELP WONT BE ABLE TO GET INTO VEHICLE WITHOUT BREAKING GLASS AND CAUSING MORE HARM. US KIA SORENTO OWNERS NEED SOME HELP TO GET KIA CORP. TO SEND OUT A RECALL TO REPAIR ISSUE.
