From a 2012 Sorento owner, many thanks for this video! It helped a lot of us out! As was suggested by others on here, you probably want to re-shoot it showing that (1) You need to replace the long chrome handle piece first before putting the shorter cap on; and (2) You can (should) use a 10mm socket to slowly back the screw out and re-tighten it, when and if it won't come out using a phillips-head screwdriver (or drill bit). Again, though, VERY useful video, and you earned a sub for it.

Do you have a video for replacement of the FRONT door handle? Every video shows rear door which is much simpler than the front. Everyone says they don't know why video's show removal of the interior door panel. Well, that's because the front door handle has a lock and is very different than the rear. I'm trying to avoid removing the door panel as well, but don't see any way to get to the FRONT door handle and lock assembly without removing the panel.

Thank you! I was quoted a repair price of $343.15 from my local Kia dealership. I got mad and left. I found your video today and will return to the dealership tomorrow and purchase only the little part that the bolt screws into and the bolt. Thank you again for making this video and for saving me alot of $$$$$!!!!!!!

I would recommend using a 10 mm socket with extension for the screw. I could not break the screw loose with a phillips, but very easy with a 10 mm socket. Thanks for the video. If only the dealership would have sold me the correct part. I need the Left Rear not Right Rear, but other than that, it was an easy fix. 18.00 plus tax in Dallas for the part.

@evanheffley1625 Жыл бұрын
To access the bolt (for the REAR door handle) he references in the video, you have to take off the inner door panel. Give a firm tug on the bottom of the door panel (use the pocket built into door), then once all the clips are free, the only thing holding the panel on is that it is hanging on the top edge. Lift up to get it off the ledge, and then the screw can be found.

Also, he needs to show that you can (should?) use a 10mm socket to back the screw out (and screw it in), since the screw is usually put on super tight at the factory.

The NHTSA issued a TSB (NHTSA ID: 10123323 TSB ID: TSBBOD173) for this problem on the Kia Niro. My dealer (Rosen Kia Milwaukee) acted like they had never heard of this problem before. They had to order a part. Despite my insistence that I could install, they refused to give me the part because "they need to install it if it's part of a TSB". They have no open service appointments for three weeks.

Now you know why Kias are so cheap--because they're cheap! Three of four handles have broken on my 2012 Sorento. They have "upgraded" the parts, and you now have to replace the entire door handle assembly. The old style parts are no longer available. You cannot replace just the rear cap anymore unless you have the "upgraded" door handle assembly. This is how Kia makes up for selling their cars cheaply--through expensive parts.
