Outside door handle lock issue

Brand new to the community page, so sorry if I’m doing this wrong.
Over the last several months, my door handle button will randomly not lock my car. There’s no second key inside, nobody else in the car, key is in my purse. I hit the button & it beeps, but mirrors do not fold in & when I pull the handle it’s unlocked. Hit it a couple more times, with time in between each, & the same thing. If I’m lucky, after a few times of trying it will finally lock, but not always; I sometimes have to use my fob. Has anyone else had this issue? I’m due for an oil change in the next 1k miles, so I can bring it up then, just thought I’d ask here first. Thanks so much!

Do you have a car manufactured between Feb 1, 2023 - June 9, 2023? If so, you may just need to have this reprogramming done.
Otherwise, I'd talk to the dealer about the issue.

Same issue.
Does Kia ever look at these and respond, or is this Forum for users only?

See the TSB I linked above to see if your car is due for some door handle software re-programming.
