2016 Hyundai Tucson electrical complaints
Page 5 of 8: complaints 101 to 130 of 217, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Just short of 63,000 miles, my key fob quit unlocking the front driver's door in it's normal sequence. I have to keep pressing "unlock" several times until the lock opens. The other doors seem responsive at this time. There have been times I have had to use the key. The safety of being able to quickly unlock my doors when approaching my car in my carport or in a public space is compromised. I did an online search and found many people complaining of the same or very similar circumstances on the identical make and model hyundai. It seems to be associated with the actuator. I have not taken my car to the shop yet, but wanted to add my experience to your database. Apparently, this is a known issue by hyundai according to people writing about it on a popular automotive website and I am hoping that attention brought to this flaw will trigger a recall. I am fearful that the problem will spread to other doors or that I may be prevented from exiting my driver door when I need to get out of the car.
Multiple sensors and lights on the dash are illuminated, including the airbags, brakes, traction control, hill assist, tire pressure, etc. I've been told that this is related to a vacuum pump issue. Other hyundais are under recall for this same issue, but my VIN does not show up as covered. This is an extreme hazard as the car is not functioning properly, and if the sensor are not functioning, properly, there is no guarantee that the airbags or other safety systems will function as intended with this underlying problem. The recall needs to be expanded to include all of the 1.6 tucsons, as it's obviously an issue across the manufacturer and multiple models. This problem happens when the vehicle is in motion, and these systems engage randomly causing the vehicle to function poorly. Additionally this affects emissions.
The door actuators on the hyundai keep failing which makes it so the doors cannot be opened. I've already replaced 2 and had 2 more go out this past week. This is very dangerous in the case of an accident. Hyundai will not acknowledge it is a widespread problem.
The rear passenger door will not open from the interior or the exterior. It was parked and I tried to open the door and it will not move. This is a huge safety issue because you cannot get out that door. This happened to 2 other doors also. One was covered because it was still under warranty, it is now past my warranty.
The driver side front door will not open from the outside after it has been locked and unlocked with key fob or key. The vehicle was parked and locked with key fob then would not open. You have to climb through the passenger side and open from inside.
3 of the 4 doors do not open either from inside or outside , I get scared now not knowing if I'm going to get trapped in an emergency situation
The rear passenger door (then a day later'doors) won't open from the inside or out even when manually unlocked whether or not the car is on or off. We were on a trip at the time and our kids were having to crawl over from the front seat. We called hyundai. Their temporary fix was to unlock the car and jerk the handle hard from the outside. They said that the system sometimes' freezes up'. This works from the outside (not inside), and continues to freeze up even after ' the hyundai fix'. This is a problem with other 2016 hyundai models. If you look up the problem online, you will see many posts about it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. The contact stated that the driver's side front door failed to unlock using the keyfob. The contact stated that her daughter was in the vehicle at the time of failure and had to enter the vehicle through the front passenger's side door. The contact called suntrup hyundai south (5926 s lindbergh blvd, st. Louis, mo 63123, (314) 254-8977) on three separate occasions and left voice messages each time. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 62,400.
1.driver side rear passenger door would not open from outside or inside. It eventually worked by pulling really hard from outside. 2. Driver's door will not open from outside but will from inside. It is obviously unlocked when trying to open. The actuator is the most likely component that is failing. The mechanism will not unlock the door with the key either. This is a huge safety issue when it's 100 degrees outside and I can't get a child out of the backseat. Or for first responders sent to aid someone trapped in the car. I've read of multiple failures after searching for this problem on the internet. It happens a lot to many hundai models over the past 6-8 years.
R/r door lock actuator failure. Door will not open. Safety hazard for anyone in rear seat to exit vehicle. Appears to be a known issue that isn't addressed by the manufacturer. Passenger got into car with no issue. 15 min drive and when arrived at destination door was inoperable. Locks/unlocks with no issue. When pull handle from interior and exterior no response inside the door. $500+ to fix
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. The contact stated while driving at slower speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted and driven to his destination. The vehicle was taken on several occasions to world car hyundai north (12908 interstate 35 north bldg 2, san antonio, tx 78233, (210) 667-2189) and the vehicle was rebooted 3 times for an unknown system failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Door actuators fail and doors cannot be opened. This is a huge safety issue and hyundai has not addressed the issue with an updated design or recall on older failing door actuators. Note, when I say old, these are 5-6 years old. As a first responder, I am appalled that this issue has not been addressed and resolved already. If I am trying to gain access to a person involved in a wreck and I have to request or perform advanced extrication simply because of poorly designed actuators then the families of those entrapped victims should be able to sue hyundai for damages.
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.
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.
Unable to open the back passenger door because door lock actuator fails. Won't open from inside (manually or with key fob) or outside thus trapping the passenger. This is a concerning safety hazard. The car is only 5 years old.
The rear passenger door and front driver door on my vehicle will not open from the inside or outside of the vehicle. Key fob has new batteries and can hear the locks engaging/ disengaging, however the doors will not open. Huge safety issue , this must be addressed immediately. Upon reading online, numerous customers have the same exact issue , hyundai has done nothing. Must be a recall now , cost to repair is over $2,000. This problem can lead to serious physical injury or death.
The passenger side back door will not open when car is unlocked. The door will not open from the inside either. The handle has to be pulled forcefully several times before the door will open.
The car seems to be acting as if there is an electrical fault. All of the safety sensors on the car are flashing and the power steering does not work. My wife and I currently are stationed overseas in italy and the hyundai dealership said to take it to hyuandai for repair. The hyundai dealership here refuses to touch it or even reply to us. The vehicle is not driveable.
My 2016 hyundai tucson front passenger door will not open from the outside. I have to open it from the inside. My back right passenger door was not able to open from either inside or outside and I had to have it replaced at the dealership. This is a major safety issue, and it appears that this happens a lot with this make and model. The federal safety agency should really look into this and issue a recall.
Originally when I purchased my car I complained to the dealer about my radio going black and they claimed it was due to the cold and brushed it off. Now recently I had the same issue but now as I was driving straight on the highway all of the lights on the dash keep flickering on and off telling me to check every system. My car signals/hazards will not work. Speedometer will not work along with blind spot recognition and other things.
My back passenger door lock actuator is failing. I am unable to open my door from the inside or outside after the door has been locked. Once you hit the unlock button, there is a tiny part in the lock actuator that is not fully returning to the left which leaves that specific door still locked. It takes several pulls/pushes on the door to get it open again and sometimes it can take days before I can get it to open again. My husband was able to take the door panel off to see the functionality of the actuator and was able to see the part was failing when he would try to unlock the door with the key foib/unlock button. Based on my research this is a known issue with hyundai tucsons but hyundai has not issued a recall and will charge a diagnostic fee of $100 plus cost of labor and part to repair. This is a serious safety concern for my passengers and should be an issue hyundai makes right. This issue is occurring regardless if my vehicle is running or not.
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.
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.
This model has a recall for its ABS system due yo engine fires the vehicle has been taken to the deaker and we have been told there is no resolve for this issue yet hyundai issued a recall and the only way we foynd out was to go online and look it up now they say they want us to drive this vehicle with the recall issue until hyundai figures out yhe issue this is absolutely unacceptable our safety is far more import we are both disabled and need a reliable vehicle to get to dr. Appointments please help to resolve said issue thank you the battles
The door lock actuators in my 2016 hyundai tucson failed repeatedly. The first was on november 3, 2020, one week outside of the warranty. The second door lock actuator failed today (feb 5, 2021). This is a significant safety issue as the doors cannot be opened from either the inside or out because they fail in the "locked" position. If there were a fire or other accident, the occupants would be trapped inside, resulting in a fatality. The latch mechanism won't unlock from either the physical mechanical toggle or remote signal. This occurs then the vehicle is stationary. This is a huge safety concern discussed on numerous online hyundai forums. We are all wondering why 1) hyundai has not issued a safety recall 2) why the federal safety agency has not stepped in and required hyundai to issue a safety recall. Not being able to exit or enter a car during an emergency is a huge risk to all, especially children, the elderly, and handicapped persons. I can't think of a greater safety issue than being trapped in your vehicle. Please intervene! Thank you.

Blinker stays on even after it is shut off, brake like continuously goes out, even though it has been replaced several times (may be a wiring issue).
We were never informed there was a recall on this car when we purchased it from the hyundai dealer. We had several electrical issues and have gone to the dealer for repair and they never mentioned the recall involving the electrical system in our tucson. We had the latest electrical issue with our door not closing. We have had continued electrical issues with this car and mission hills hyundai dealership has not mentioned the recall on this vehicle. They continue to fail to repair our car's recall issue.*dt
