You could have a bad remote or the remote could be need to be programed. Some auto parts stores have remote testers on there counter's.I know oriellys has one.

I would have gone to the kia service manger and made sure he fixed it when it was under warranty. Unfornately I don't have a trouble tree for door locks inop with remote on your car.
