Passenger door causes all looks to lock SolvedSolved

Kia Sorento 2004 Sorento 6cyl 100000 miles
When opening or closing the front passenger door, occasionally all the door locks will engage! I have been locked out so much I have to carry a spare key. Any suggestions on a simple repair?

I had same problem I found one of the covers which covers the switch half way down inside of drivers door frame had worn through use if you drive along and pull the door towards you and it stops that's your problem to be fair not shaw if passenger side has one but mine was drivers side so temporary I stuck a little adhesive back stop on the end till I could get new one sent the door itself through use had a little dent through shutting on the switch that's why the switch is not pressing in enough while door is shut

Electrical issue

Kia Sorento 2011 SUV 65000 miles
Occasionally it will not start. It is totally dead. The push button start button has no lite on. If I open and then close the driver door, it then works. I may need to open and close the door more then one time but usually works with doing it once. When it happens my mirrors go out of adjustment. My clock needs to be reset and I loose all radio station settings. This has only happened 5 or 6 times over about 6 months.

Stalling, flashing lights no computer code

Kia Sorento 2023  20000 miles
I was driving down the road and stopped at a stop light. Kia sorento stalled. All lights on dash started flashing. Messages stated to our car in drive, out car in neutral, etc. I tried to restart and each time I put the car in drive the car stalled. Towed car. Car would not unlock or turn on. Kia couldn’t even get the doors open. A few daysater the got in the car and it drove perfectly and they stated they could not find anything wrong.
