Passenger door causes all looks to lock SolvedSolved

2004 Kia Sorento 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

2011 Kia Sorento 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

2023 Kia Sorento 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.

Factory installation

2014 Kia Sorento LX 1976432 miles
Hi. I heard that All Kia’s have remote start from the factory. But I bought my second hand from a dealer that said it didn’t have remote start. I understand they should know about these things. My question is, could the remote start be turned off be cause of a fuse or being in valet mode? I think the remote start system is broken. My Kia is a push button start and I have a remote key fob to unlock the doors. I’ve tried a couple of combinations of buttons to try and activate remote start but it didn’t work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Interior lights won't come on

2013 Kia Sorento Suv 190000 miles
My Dome lights. Front and back. My little mirror lights. All the lights won't come on. I've changed the fuse 4 times. Ive changed out the door actuators, I've changed out the whole diadode box out 4 times. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they all just stopped working and I can't get anything to fix them. Someone help. Please
