Doors won't lock, open or latch by model year
What owners say
My door handles keep breaking. The end caps of the door handles break easily. This is the second time it has happened. The first time was a month after I purchased it. Of course the dealer replaced it because I was still under warranty. Now the warranty is out the door handle on the passenger side of the door broke. Dealer said 187.50 to fix it. I called hyundai corporate and was just blown off telling me I was out of my warranty. Customer service wasn't even nice about it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the passenger's side rear door lock was inoperable. The contact stated that the door could not be opened from inside or outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
My alarm horn dont work, my overhead light does not shut off properly , doors dont lock back shows opned when closed. Water in back door latch froze and cracked my casing. This all happemed at the same time. Drained my battery and they replaced a box in door. Now battery dies again and it is doing it again. A constant problem since last year. It is not dependable for me due to disabled and senior citzen.
While driving 65mph at 10pm on a the interstate, I heard a pound "thunk" and thought I had a tire issue, so began to steer toward the emergency lane. I quickly realized I had no power to accelerate, no power steering and the dash was blacked out...car was dead. Only ever thing working was radio, emergency flashers and dome light. Door locks did not even work. Called for roadside assistance and car was towed. I have no further information about the car's disposition as it was a rental. It was terrifying and could have ended catastrophically in serious injury or death. The reason I am filing this report is to insure it will be investigated thoroughly. I did report it to hyundai .
