2017 Kia Sportage Body & Structure Problems

The back passenger door behind the driver's seat will not open from the outside or the inside. The driver's door handle (outside) must be pulled several times before the door will open. I had the handle replaced (driver's door) but now must pull 3 times before opening.

The front panel of the sunroof spontaneously exploded as I was driving down the interstate. There were no vehicles in front of me, and clear skies above me. No rock or debris hit my vehicle to cause this.

The rear passenger door will not open. This is a safety concern should we need to exit the vehicle rapidly in an accident. Other KIA Sportage vehicles are on the recall, but for some reason, my VIN model is not on the list for recall.

My daughter and I were driving home from my brother's house, when we stopped by McDonald's to grab food, we noticed our car smoking really bad. I had her pull away from the drive-thru and into the empty parking lot. We got out just seconds before the car burst into flames from underneath the hood of the car.

My rear driver side door hatch malfunctioned and had a mechanical fail as confirmed by Auffenberg KIA, he stated “he see’s this all the time”, in O’Fallon, IL. I can not open the door from the inside or outside. Child lock is not active.

The car caught fire after being driven. As soon as it was parked it started smoking and within minutes it was engulfed in flames and totally destroyed

With 60,700 miles, the driver's side rear door locks and unlocks, but will not open. Dealership stated I was over warranty by 700 miles. I explained that I thought this should be treated as a safety issue as if the vehicle is in an accident on the passenger side, rear occupants can not exit the vehicle on driver's side

On 8/30/17 I was driving in the middle lane of the highway when my sunrooof exploded. There were no overpasses and very few cars around me so nothing hit the sunroof to cause the explosion. I was able to safely pull over to the shoulder because of the light traffic at the time.

My 2017 Sportage is Burnish Copper. I've seen at least 2 other cars (same color) with discoloring paint. I've tried reporting this to Kia dealer to no avail.

Rear doors are randomly not able to be opened from outside or inside door handles. Multiple clicks of drivers door unlock / lock will sometimes (30-50 clicks) will allow the door to open from the inside handle. Once opened from the inside door handle the outside handle will work until the door is relocked.

The passenger door behind the driver's seat will not open, which limits access to the rear passenger compartment should there be an emergency. No lights indicate this problem. We have tried all the troubleshooting instructions from the manufacturer's manual.

Right rear passenger door can not be opened from inside or outside the vehicle. Problem noticed at about 55,000 miles. Dealer has been unable to open door.

2017 kia sportage. Consumer writes in regards to unhealthy airborne mold in vehicles. *ld the consumer stated the manufacturer repaired the dashboard, but the consumer was still becoming sick due to the door pads being made from the same material.

I was on the highway- driving under a underpass. The screen to the panoramic roof was back but the sunroof itself was closed- there was a loud noise and the glass to the moving part of the sunroof shattered falling into the car. All that remained was a small glass outline around the perimeter of the roof.

While driving approx. 60 MPH on a freeway, we heard a load "bang" noise from the roof above us. We had not seen any projectile flying towards us prior to the noise.

I need a recall on the paint for the 2017 Sportage Burnished Copper KIA. I've seen many others this color with the same paint fading issue. I contacted KIA and was basically told warranty expired.

The passenger door behind the driver seat suddenly would not open from either inside or outside the vehicle. The faulty lock makes it difficult to reach a child or pet in that seat quickly, as we have to go around the car to get to them through the other passenger door.

Passenger door will only open from the outside if the door unlocks from being put in park. If I unlock from inside the car or the key fob the external passenger handle will not open the door.

Both second row (passenger) windows no longer open.

Front driver handle do not open the car. If you lock the car and unlock, you can not open driver door from outside. I tried door adjustment and didn't work.
