When trying to get into my car, I unlock my doors. With all doors unlocked I try to enter the driver door from the outside. It takes multiple pools on the handle for the drive door to get the latch inside the door to release and open the door. My door becomes stuck and I am unable to get inside my vehicle. This can be a potential safety issue, in dark parking lots, unsafe locations, preventing me from getting in my vehicle. I took my vehicle to hyundai dealer. They states nothing is wrong with my door and it works fine. This was approx apr in 2020. Beginning this week my passenger side front door will now also not open from the outside, even if my door is unlocked. No matter how many times I pull the handle the passenger door wont release from the outside. I have to open the door from the inside.
2016 Hyundai Tucson body complaints
Page 5 of 9: complaints 101 to 130 of 227, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Rear drivers side door will not open even when the door is unlocked. Will not open from outside of the vehicle or from within the vehicle.
The rear passenger door of my 2016 hyundai tucson no longer opens at all, from the inside or the outside. As I have a young child and nephews who are regularly in my car in car seats, this is a serious safety concern. Apparently, hyundai is not willing to take responsibility for this defect, which I have found is a problem across many hyundai years and models. The cost of a dealership to fix is upwards of $1000, which is prohibitive and unrealistic.
Three of the four doors have defects which prevent them from opening from the outside or inside, which is a major safety concern. The door lock acuator is what needs to be replaced. The right front door was replaced in 2018. One of the back doors was replaced in 2020, and now the other back door won't open due to the same issue. I often transport children and an elderly grandparent, all of whom sit in the back seat. If I had been in an accident, there would be no way to get them out of the vehicle. On top of the fact that this is clearly a manufacturer defect with the vehicle, I'm now concerned the driver's door will stop working soon, meaning I can't drive the vehicle at all. I contacted hyundai customer support since the vehicle is 1,000 miles over warranty and they said there is nothing they can do (conversation 4/5/21). Five star hyundai of macon refused to put in a request to over-ride the warranty to get it fixed, since clearly it is a manufacturer problem with my vehicle. The vehicle hasn't been in any accidents that would have caused this issue and hyundai is apparently aware of the issue, as it frequently occurs with tucsons and elantras (per conversation with five star hyundai), yet refuses to do anything about it. Because my vehicle is now at 61,000 miles they are saying it is no longer their responsibility and are not offering to assist in any way. The blind spot detector is also malfunctioning, not notifying when a vehicle is next to mine and occasionally going off when there is no vehicle at all. Five star macon said this is also not under warranty anymore and said they don't know why it would be a problem but would require them removing my bumper and doing extensive diagnostic work before they'd know how to fix it.
Door handle will not open back door, and front door handle driver side must be pulled multiple times before opening. Rear door will not open at all. Latch mechanism not working properly.
Door lock actuator failure. Drivers side rear door would not open from inside or out. Occupants could be trapped. 4 mos outside of 5 yr warranty. 200 miles remaining on 60,000 mi warranty. $800 repair at www.hyundaioforangepark.com/. Hyundai message board say to expect passenger side to fail soon as well.
Driver's rear door no longer opens reliably. This seems to be the first step to a common problem of the doors becoming completely inoperable. Hyundai seems unwilling to deal with the problem.
The driver and passenger doors unlocking mechanisms stop working. The electrical system will work but the mechanism inside the door will not function completely and keeps you from being able to get into your car.
I have had a problem opening up my driver side back door sense summer of 2020 so I've taken the back door panel off and I pull on the wire from the inside to open it up. I've dealt with that just fine it's irritating but now my passenger side front is not wanting to open from the outside do I have to read across and open up the door if anybody is going to be on the passenger side. Now the driver's side door has started doing it. So now I'm expected to climb in true the passenger rear door and up into the front seat or open the door from the inside and then walk back around my car. That is until the back passenger door decides to start doing the same thing and then I guess I'll have to climb in through the trunk? Or maybe that'll be the next one to go? Another issue that have been having a lot of trouble with is the front interior dome or the console the passenger side light doesn't like to come on most of the time, but occasionally it does. The biggest issue is the front headlights and the brake lights. So the headlights have been needing to be replaced more often than I ever heard of anybody replacing them, less than 6 month sometimes. Other times that had like just goes out and then I have to get under the hood and hopefully get the cap off so that I can play with the fitting and hope that it will come back on. Because I actually do most of my driving in the dark when it's night time so I kind of need my lights. Sometimes that doesn't work but the next morning I will turn on the vehicle the light is working again?... I've been dealing with that issue for about a year as well. Just recently within the last few months bee tail light or brake light has started doing the same thing. Specifically the passenger brake light so far. I could sense there was some sort of electrical issue coming on but wouldn't have expected all of this, back to back at the same time.
While running errands driver door would not open after being unlocked with remote or with button on handle. Driver door would only open when opened from the inside through the passenger side of the vehicle. Vehicle will unlock but drivers door will not open from the outside. This seems to occur when vehicle is stationary after it has been locked.
Ongoing problem with doors not opening from inside the vehicle or outside. Already repaired one at dealership under warranty, other 2 doors repaired and needing repair again. Front drivers door and rear driver door currently effected. Extremely unsafe if in an accident and two working doors are damaged and unoperational. Hyundai says they don't have a problem but complaints on the internet are huge in numbers.
All doors locked and won't open with key/fob. If a child is locked in there and I can't get inside this issue could be extremely dangerous. Manufacturer refuses to fix.
The rear passenger door of my vehicle will not open. I cannot open it from the outside or inside. It seems to be an issue with the door not unlocking even though the unlock tab is flipping. A quick google search shows many others with the same vehicle have the same issue. This is a huge safety hazard in the event of an emergency.
My child or anyone in the rear passenger side can not get out of their door because the door will not open at all even when unlocked this has been like this for 4 days no matter what I try the door will not open. This is not a malfuction this is acutally a safely hazzard. My child is traumatized and has nightmares because he fears he will die if there is a fire in the car he is autistic.
The lock actuators in the driver door and rear passenger door have failed. They vehicle will unlock but the doors will not open. In the event of a fire one could be trapped in the car due to the faulty latches. Hyundai will not repair this at their expense as the vehicle is out of warranty. This is a widespread issues reported on several auto forums as well.
Rear right passenger door was getting stuck intermittently without opening for couple weeks. After that it has been stuck permanently. This issue started occurring intermittently when the vehicle was 60 months old.took it dealer, was unable to replicate it at the dealer place. It became a permanent issue when the vehicle was 61 months old,am being told that now the vehicle is out of warranty and I need to pay to fix this. Its been 3 months now, the door is still stuck.
Rear door does not open at all. Locking mechanism must be broken or jammed. Door cannot be opened from inside or outside the vehicle when locked or unlocked. No event occurred that caused this problem. This is a safety hazard.
This happened last month as well. Drivers side rear door will not open while it is parked and on, it locks and unlocks but will not open from the inside or outside while it's unlocked. Last time it fixed after pulling on it approximately 25 times total. I have tried manually and automatically locking and unlocking and trying to open but nothing works. This time is is not working and becomes a safety hazard especially with children.
Both right side doors do not consistently open when first unlocked. This happens in a stationary position right after unlocking doors. Once open, they are fine until the car is locked again. They will not open from either exterior handle or interior handle. This happened a while ago, but recently tried to get it fixed and found out I am out of warranty coverage. When I looked up how to repair it, I was shocked by how widespread the issue is.
The left rear passenger door will not open from the inside nor from the outside which I feel causes a severe safety concern in the event of an emergency that requires immediate access to someone in the rear seat.
Doors will not open. I see from reading onlinr this is a major issue. This has to be a big safty issue. I have a bacj door that will.not open at all.and now my front door can not open from the outside.
The rear passenger door could not be opened from the outside, even though the handle was not stuck. Springfield hyundai in springfield, pa inspected and confirmed the problem, but did not fix because the vehicle was out of warranty. Another shop replaced the door lock actuator.
Rear driver side door actuator no longer works. Unable to open door at all. Car was parked.
Rear driver door stopped opening from inside and outside even though the handle moves freely and the locks are functioning (child safety is not engaged). A few months after that door stopped working the front passenger door outside handle fails to open 9 times out of 10 but locks still function. Everything else about the doors work fine and there has been no trauma to the vehicle.
The vehicle is less than 5 years old and I was told the steering column needs to be replaced. It clicks when ever the steering wheel is turned. I was told it is fine to drive it until I get it repaired but after reading what could happen that doesn't seem true. I have had the back passenger door latch replaced because it wouldn't open from the inside or outside. Now to open my from passenger door you have to pull the door handle 3 times to get it to open. My drivers side door won't open from the outside. And the drivers side window will go up and down when trying to put just up or down.*dt
My back passenger door won't open from the inside or the outside. You can hear the power lock working, but the door won't open. The problem started out gradually where the door wouldn't open unless you pulled the handle more than once and now it won't open at all. It's very dangerous for people in the back seat because they can't get out in an emergency through that door.
The rear driver door is stuck closed no matter what I do. After looking online, it seems like multiple people are having the same issue with the door actuator going out. Now if people are in my back seat, people are stuck and have to go out the other door. My fear now is the other door will go out also and someone will be stuck in the back of my car.
Rear passenger door is locked from the inside and out. This is a safety concern and needs to be recalled. All the locks on the door need to be upgraded and repaired not just replaced by the same faulty locks.
2016 hyundai tucson rear passenger door will not open from the inside or outside. This happened january 2021. I was waiting for the entire fire recall to come up with a fix so I could take it in at the same time. Now, the front driver door will not open from the outside, only the inside. Hyundai is saying it is out of warranty and I will need to pay for both. Quick research online shows me that there are hundreds of people also experiencing this problem. This should be evaluated as it is a safety issue if my car catches fire before there can be a fix for the recall and myself or my passengers are unable to get out of the car if it is on fire.
After picking my grandson up from surgery on both legs went to get him out of the car and neither of the doors in the rear would open this is a problem with hyundai that has not been addressed they should be a recall on this this is a dangerous situation specially in a place like florida where we have bodies of water all over next to the roads in an emergencyyou will not be able to get out
