Id10T Call # 273 – almost placed by yours truly to Kia Service Department
Hello? I purchased this #!@#$ vehicle in November, and already my rear passenger door won’t open from the inside.
————————————————–
[Enter] Maria del Pilar Obrien-Pitt-Sambora: “does your car have child lock?”
Id10T—that’d be me: “no”
MDPOPS: “are you sure?”
Id10T: [how dare she ask me what I know/don’t know about my own car] “yes, I’m sure, I can’t see/find the buttons for it on my door’s panel”
MDPOPS: “Have you checked the door itself?”
Id10T: “uhm . . .for what? No, of course not.”
MDPOS: “sometimes the child lock is right on the door” [as she opens the door, spots the lock, points it out to me and slides it to the unlock position]
Id10T: “Uh . . . duh!”
I wondered how many childless peeps have had similar experience; and silently hoped it’s not just me.
Oh, it’s good to have friends with children. She saved me an argument with Kia’s Service Department . . . and stole their moment of glory cuz you know they’d share my ID10T moment w/others.

Is “Maria” a fictional rep? If so, who saved you?
I iz confuzed.
But, I get the gist of it, of course. Nowadays, things come with more and more features…
Maria is a friend of mine who took joy in pointing out the child lock to me.
Yikes…hate it when something like that happens (trying to prove a product is faulty, when it’s my use of it that is faulty). Glad you got it figured out.
