2010 Hyundai Elantra: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Dec 28, 2020 · Body · IL

Back seat door behind driver will not open or shut. The door handle becomes stuck. This door hasn't been used much so this isn't normal wear and tear and should be a recall. This is a major safety issue as we can't access the door for my child.

I have a 2010 hyundai elantra. Filed a report on the suspension, steering and brakes. This report is something I didn't think about until I saw others were having these two issues. 1. When you take the key out of the ignition, it still dings and the doors won't lock. I am assuming it still think the key is in the ignition. You have to put the key back in and take it out again to get the dinging to stop. 2. I have two cigarette lighter receptacles (now known as 12v accessory sockets). Cannot use both at the same time as it causes the TPMS light to come on. A few seconds after one of the receptacles have been emptied the TPMS light goes out. The first issue happens while parked and the second issues happens whether parked or driving . . . Mostly when driving.

In february 2014 a friend tried to enter the car and the door handle pulled off in her hand. The door was not locked while she was trying to open it. The car had approx. 31,000 miles on it. This was a front door handle. On april 20, 2015 (the car has less than 45,000 miles on it) my daughter went to remove her child from the rear car seat. The door was not locked and the rear door handle pulled off in her hand. I have been watching the news were someone is pulling a passenger out of a burning car after an accident often. If the door handle would have pulled off during these incidents, the driver or passengers would have been burnt alive.

The rims on my 5 year old car look like it was parked in the ocean they are rusting so bad and this car has never lived north of carolina. I am afraid that this defect is going to cause my wheel to fall off one day. The steering wheel started popping or catching whenever I try to turn the vehicle to the left, but dealership tells me it is not on the recall list, so it will cost $110 just to look at the problem. The driver?s side window is very hard going up or down (makes a load thud when it gets to the top or bottom) and I am afraid it is going to break the glass one of these days. The dashboard is much discolored (that started after only 2 years of owning the car). The interior door handles have the metal wrapping peeling off causing me to cut my hand when I go to open the door. I fear that my car is a ?lemon? And I am very disappointed as this is my second hyundai (bought them both brand new) and this one is a piece of junk ? But the dealership won't help.

The plastic chrome on the inside passenger door handle is "delaminated" and a razor sharp edge is exposed. When I reached across the seat (from the drivers side) to open to passenger door, the sharp edge deeply cut my finger which had to have pressure for about three hours before it would stop bleeding. This car only has 27k miles and rarely sees someone in the passenger seat so this is not due to extensive use as stated in previous recalls for this problem. If the problem was identified and recalled in 2009 then why is it still a problem in 2014? This car was in for service and a non-related warranty fix last month and nothing was said about this problem (and subsequently, the dealer was not inspecting for this problem).

The metallic covering on both front inner door handles has rippled and started peeling. The metallic sheet covering both handles is very sharp and has caused me to slice my hands/fingers multiple times as I attempt to open the door. It's sturdy enough that it is difficult to just peel off, so I am constantly being cut by my handles and am worried this may soon happen to my passenger(s) and/or children.
