My driver door since yesterday wont open from outside .but from inside i can opened. Its a Kia Sorento 2011 v6 LX
Both of my doors were in the same condition. Just resolved yesterday. Driver's side door took me over four hours and since i then knew what i was doing, the passenger side door took me less than two hours. i used this as reference...its not the best but enough: https://www.kia- forums.com/2011-2013-xm-sorento-forum/264826-door-wont-open-outside-how-replace.html
It is a broken spring inside the locking device. Lot labor but you can do it yourselt Door panel out Glass out. Open the sealed locking device and replace the spring.
