NHTSA Complaint #11164659 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

TAKATA RECALL ON BACK LOCKS. LOCK JAMMED ON BACK DOOR. DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM INSIDE OR OUT.. HAVING PROBLEMS WITH KIA DEALERSHIP HONORING A RECALL THAT I THIN SHOULD INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FRONT LOCKS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT WAS REPAIRED. NOW THE BACK LOCKS ON THE BACK DOOR IS DOING THE SAME THING. THIS IS A DANGER TO MY GRANDCHILDREN WHO SITS IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE ASKED KIA CHECK THE AIR BAG, BUT TOLD MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST. AND THAT MY LOCKS ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THESE ARE ALL MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT "OFF" APPEARS.. THE VEHICLE WAS /IS STATIONARY WHEN THE BACK DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK, ALTHOUGH RESONDS TO KEY PAD SOUND AS THOUGH UNLOCKED, THE DOOR REMAINS LOCK. ALSO, WHEN DOOR IS UNLOCKED ON THE INSIDE, DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. CAR IS STATIONARY.
