2011 Kia Sorento inoperable outside door handle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This video shows the disassembly and internal workings of the Kia Sorento door latch mechanism that fails due to a small internal torsion spring that fractures. Spring is part of the lock mechanism that causes the handle to no longer engage the latch system.
I just bought a replacement lock for my 2011 kia, but the cheapest I found was 80$. Thanks, great explanation. All that money for a 1 cent part....ugh.
Very good work. I forged a spring by myself using old spring and it worked just fine 😂
My spring broke the exact same way. I fixed my handle with the exact spring that broke. I unwound the spring one turn and bent the arm straight. The two arms should be close to parallel to each other to work. I hope it helps...
Finally getting at the problem. I'm thinking of using a piece of sponge behind the lever to push it forward Unless the spring kit I bought provides an appropriate to modify spring .Right now I am having trouble removing the latch & inner metal panel-- But another video mentions a bolt accessed from the door edge
I finally got the chance to remove the door on Kia Sorento 2011. But the mechanism on my Kia is completely different way smaller and simpler than what you're showing!
Do you have any video on how to remove the second metal door cover on this kia sorento 2011?
Damn good video.
Thank you.
Call Kia Motors they will replace the spring on the front doors one time at no charge. The rear doors are covered for 10 years regardless of mileage. It is a pain in the neck to do it yourself so save yourself time and money.
Did they do this without it being under warranty? I have a 2011 that’s not under warranty and just had this happen
I know it's been a while since you posted this but at one point you mention getting the assembly online and at another you mention getting it from the dealer. can you enlighten us on what the assembly is called and where you were able to secure it for that $55 fee. This happened to our sorento yesterday and my wife is in the "fix this now" mode! LOL... thanks for the info!
Yup,now I see what is wrong on my 2014 sorento.both front and rear passenger side doors.hope ya find that spring.i need 2.
Did you find the spring ? I need one too
Hey Bill. How are you?
Do you know, why the passenger's window no down from driver's panel control?
P.S :I can up, but I can't down.
Kia Sorento 2011
From Passenger's panel windows works perfectly.
I did not take measurements and could not find a similar spring on Century Springs web site
I bit the bullet and bought an entire assembly.
Hi Bill do you have a link to the part you bought?
Were you able to find just the spring anywhere? What is this part? (Dealer did "customer satisfaction" "upgrade" a little over a year ago - now part breaks, and they want $360 to look at it, $121 for "the part." )
John, Could not find a spring that had all the bends that the original factory unit had. Ordered the entire assembly from the dealership and installed myself.
Removal and install was a bit of a challenge.
Name of the part you ordered on eBay???
This is the problem I have now with my 2011 Kia Sorrento. I haven’t fixed it because it’s very expensive. Any advice?
Hey Bill - have you got the spring dimensions - length of each leg, inside diameter, number of full coils, approximate angle between legs when relaxed, wire diameter. Lots of spring suppliers I might be able to get one from near where I live
What is the name of the part or part number so I can look it up and buy it? Both of my drivers side front and rear doors do not open from the outside.
Did you find a spring?
Well fuck.... thanks bud 👍
Part#... ?

Thank you for posting this. Was very helpful. They really should have had a long term recall on these units including for out of warranty owners since it was obviously a defect in design. A critical component such as a door locking mechanism should not come with a shelf life of well under 10 years. That's just insane. I opted to buy the OEM unit for $50 delivered next day from Amazon, rather than drilling out rivets, buying a spring kit and trying to fashion a replacement, and not knowing fully what the actual issue is until I had the entire assembly extracted and opened up, during which time my wife would be unable to use the car. Easy enough just to purchase a new unit and be done. Saving $450 from the rip off stealership makes its highly worth it.
Where can I buy one need a web site
Where can I get this spring?
Had the same problem with the door on my in-laws sorento, I replaced the actuator, but now even though it opens and closes, once you lock it, it will only open manually from the inside. But once opened from the inside, it works just fine. Any ideas?
Nick Travers same happen to me last night, have to use key manually to unlocm the whome system as its pushstart and my key fob doesnt work have to climb into another door to drivers seat inside handle is fine outside not so i wilm habe to climb through each time its ridiculous
That happened to me, first you can't open the inside latch. Went to dealer and told me it's not a recall item. Wanted to charge me $100. I refused to pay it. So got to my car and it's working. After 3 years, the door latch outside quit working. I know there was a recall about door latch, but dealer said, that mechanism is not a recall. Why can't Kia use a good type of spring!
This is a recall issue contact Kia. This recall expires in 2021
Will KIA replace this for free? I'm just now having this issue and the cheapest I've found to get this fixed is $450 per door.
Do you happen to have the recall notice number?, I can replace it myself, but it they do it under a recall notice, I'm in! Thanks!
Yes because it is a safety issue. @@kr8973
People are saying that they haven't received notices but, maybe their new phone numbers weren't updated in the system.
I have a 2011 PS Sorento and my back door won't open from the outside so I went to the dealer and they told me that it was gonna cost me $300 so then I asked what would it cost just for the parts and they told me a $155.34 sense so I contacted Kia edit and I started in October 10 And they 21 and they wouldn't help me So today is may 7th and I went to go to my car but to my car and the door would not open on the driver's side so I
Had to go in the passenger side to open my door it was pulling down raining and it was dark out I was in the parking lot and all I can think of is what if someone was chasing me it's chasing me I'm going to try to call key again tomorrow it is outrageous that these parts keep breaking and they won't do anything to help
2005 same
Hi Bill.
Thanks for your great video which got me started on my repair. I hope you don't mind but I have elaborated on your video and posted again on RUclips. I've included some info on getting a new spring and riveting the unit back together.

Regards, Stuart.
There is an extended 10 year warranty on the issue for both front & rear doors
update My Kia "in Service" date was Aug 2010 And so I was declined for repair in spite of special request due to Covid shutdowns Thanks Kia for nothing!
Do you have info on that waranty?
@@timothyley7614 The warranty was 10 years from date of manufacture, I was refused for my 2011 in 2020 since manufacture was in 2019 Special consideration was refused

I hate my Kia. I loved it till all the stupid little things started acting up. Now it’s a pain in my ass. Has 115,000 miles and has more issues with things besides the motor than my 2000 Chevy that has almost 300,000 miles.
Garbage... Dealing with this now... All Kia and Hyundai's are pretty much garbage
