Q: Front doors jammed shut, not from an accident
The doors on my 2011 Kia Sorento do not open. The front doors do most of the time, but the back doors no longer open from the outside. I got a quote to fix them and it was just insane. I've had to load the kids into the car like it's a two door vehicle. This is a dumb problem to have! This car has 61,000 miles on it, way too new for stuff like this! What can I do about this?
