All Structurebody Complaints
The push buttons that lock/unlock the car in the outer front door handles fell out within two weeks of each other (passenger door and driver door). There was no sign of them being loose before falling out. There was no event that would cause them to fall out. Without the buttons, the lock circuitry is exposed. Kia dealership has seen the broken handles but unable to reinsert the buttons.
2 DOOR HANDLE COVER BROKE UNDER NORMAL USE.
PASSAGER DOOR HANDLE COMPLETELY CAME APART WHILE TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR; RENDERING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. IN AN EMERGENCY, THIS CAN LEAVE A PASSENGER STUCK IF THE DRIVER OR FIRST RESPONDERS CANNOT ACCESS THEM. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSBBOD173) ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD, THIS SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE.
