The door opening mechanism on three doors. Once in the past we were not able to get in or out of the rear passenger door because it would not open from the inside or out even though it was unlocked. Which in case of emergency is a safety hazard if you can’t get out of the car. Now the other rear passenger door is doing the same thing. You cannot open door from the inside or outside, and the drivers door you cannot open from the outside. In my opinion this is a major safety issue and from what I read online many people are having the same issues. I feel Hyundai should be responsible to replace/fix these issues with quality parts. I’ve never had a vehicle that you were not able to open the door either from the inside or outside of the vehicle. Until this Tucson. The first occurrence was a few years ago. The two doors now just happened.

My touch screen (navigation/radio/etc) does not light up when the weather gets too cold. The screen has a back lighting but is completely black. The radio works and I am able to change channels. When I touch the black screen, I can tell that it is controlling it because if I hit the right spot, the channel will change. I have taken it to the dealership twice for repair. The first time it was a warm day and the dealer wasn't able to find an issue. The second time, they told me the screen was obviously dead and I would need to replace it at a cost of $600. One week later after I had been driving it for several hours, the screen turned back on so it obviously is still operable. I haven't had it turn on again since. I found a tsb that I believe may address the problem - tsb #14-01-031-1. The federal safety agency id #10060593.
