Body - exterior. Door handles stop working and cannot open the doors. Engine - massive oil consumption issue. Having to put in roughly 10 QUARTS of oil in between oil changes, but low oil warning light inside of the cluster also never comes on to let you know if the oil is low.
2017 Hyundai Tucson body complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My front doors on the Tucson when first unlocked will not open from the outside, this is a huge safety issue as if there were a crash or fire where anyone in the front seats were unconscious then help would not be able to get them out quickly, this would endanger not just drivers and passengers but also first responders. This needs to be a Hyundai recall as this is one of thousands of reports on this.
The passenger front door and the driver side back door latches do not work I am unable to open the doors
Rear passenger door will not open without manually adjusting the internal door handle components with a screwdriver (or similar tool). This poses a huge safety risk, trapping a passenger in the vehicle. I am in the process of having the door repaired, but this issue has been recalled on other models and the cost of repair should not be on the consumer, since it is a known defect.
The 2017 hyundai tucson will trap you inside the car. The doors will work intermittently and other times they simply will not open. Even when the car is unlocked. This was recalled on certain models and years but not this one. Huge safety concern being trapped inside the car or stuck outside car.
Rear drivers side door will not open. Difficult to access kid in car seat. It has not been taken to dealer yet, BUT it’s a common and expensive failure of door latch discussed online.
Rear door on driver side suddenly won't open from inside or outside. The electric locks can be heard locking and unlocking but door handles do nothing. There are no messages or alerts. The concern is not being able to get someone out in the event of an emergency. There are many complaints about door actuator failures on the internet on several Hyundai models.
two things....my back passenger side door just stopped opening...you cannot open from inside nor can you open from outside... won't open at all and now I notice the window 'sticks' I have to put it down and then it will go up slowly. 2nd this car burns through oil and I have seen other complaints regarding this from others online as well. I have to have an extra container of oil to use once every other week and now the muffler is smelling bad no oil can light ever when on but when I bought it used, about 3 weeks later the engine light came on and it started to knock. I went to a Jiffy Lube and they said "you have no oil" there are no spots at work or my driveway! This engine is a joke
The driver's door gets stuck on a regular basis preventing entrance from the outside. This problem causes an inconvenience of needing to open the door from the inside of the car. As a reference, a few years ago the same issue above occurred but with the back door in which Hyundai repaired.
Door actuator stopped working on passenger rear door so door can’t be opened from inside or outside handles. Car is 2017 and under 55,000 miles but dealer says it is not a safety issue and can’t work on it for 3 months. What?!!!!! I can’t get my child out of the rear of the car. This is a HUGE safety issue and happening to a ton Of Hyundai vehicles of 2015-2018 timeframe. So many that there are Hyundai forums addressing this and no one is being helped. Dealers are not willing to fix this or cover as a warranty item. Should be a safety recall item immediately.
The door latch (handle) on the rear driver side door is unable to open the door from the interior or exterior of the vehicle.
The rear passenger door on my 2017 Hyundai Tuscon will not open from either inside or outside of the vehicle despite the door being confirmed as unlocked. This is a huge safety issue as my rear passenger, currently, my 6-year-old would effectively be trapped in the vehicle during an emergency. This also requires my son to climb up to the front seat to exit the vehicle at school as I am required to allow him to exit from the right side of the car for safety reasons. There were no warning indicators for this. The issue first appeared yesterday, 9/6/202, when I went to take my son to cub scouts and could not open the vehicle door to let him in the car. I am making an appointment with Hyundai but a basic Google search shows this is a widespread issue with Hyundai vehicles in this year range and given the grave concern for safety I do not understand why this is not a recall.
Driver door will not open after unlocking it without forcefully throwing your weight into it repeatedly and trying to open it until it does.
The driver side door suddenly will not open with the key fob or the key. There is no damage to my door and I have kept it well maintained. I feel this is a faulty issue that Hyundai should repair because it is not fault of my own.
All of a sudden the passenger rear door cannot be opened either unlocked manually or with the remote. I believe it is the actuator. Online forums say this is a huge problem and also a safety risk. If a person cannot exit the vehicle in an emergency this is unacceptable.
When attempting to open the passenger side door after unlocking the car, the handle must be pulled numerous times. The door opens from the inside of the car with no issues, but cannot be opened from the outside. It started as three pills would open the door, but now it’s upward of 5-10 hard pulls to open the door from the outside of the vehicle. No warning lamps on the dash and only 37,000 miles. Not diagnosed by the manufacturer. This causes a major safety issue when needing to access the vehicle from the exterior and not being able to quickly or efficiently get into the vehicle.
Driving down 130 route, when my hood opened up and smashed my windshield...Driving about 55 miles an hour..
Door smart key button has broken (driver's & front passenger's door) user is unable to lock/unlock the car. User must use the beeper or key to unlock/lock the car. Went to dealership and the told me that the car has been forced by someone because is very easy to steal. Went to another place and they basically told me that the button broke from usage not by forcing it to enter the car and part is very weak. Vehicle has been indoors and other vehicles doesn't. Car company could knew the issue as the new redesigned model has a touchscreen handle to unlock.lock the car.
The rear passenger door will not open either from the inside or outside even though the lock/unlock seems to be functioning. It happened randomly.
The rear passenger door will not open from the inside or from the outside when the vehicle is unlocked. This is a hazard as if there's an emergency and a person needs to exit the vehicle they are unable to without climbing seats.
Left rear passenger door will not open, door locks work but door will not open from the inside or outside.
My daughter was driving her car up a hill on hwy 2 and it slowed to a stop. She pulled over and it started smoking. The engine caught fire and burned her car. It was a total loss.
Back right passenger door will not open from inside or outside. I've read online that many people with 16-17 tucson's have had this problem. This should be a safety recall because in the case of an accident I don't know how someone could be helped out of the car without cutting the door off. You can't get in or out through that door vehicle was stationary when I noticed the problem. Problem exists whether engine is on or off.
The rear dirver side door will not open from the outside when unlocked. The locking mechanisim works fine, but the handle will not open the door. There is no damage to the door or the handle. Sometimes it will open from the inside but is not consistant. This is a safety hazard as I have a toddler that rides in the back seat daily. How am I supposed to quickly get him out of the car in an emergency situation if the door will not open? This is very scary to think that I couldnt remove my child from the car in an emergency. Please have hyundai make this right!
Rear door will not open from the inside or outside handles.
Door operation was working fine. Then after a trip unlocked and walked around car to remove my five year old and door will not open. Lock engages, however door will not unlatch.
The passenger door on the driver side locked itself. Cannot be opened from either inside or outside. It is safety concern since I can't put child lock on the other passenger side just incase it locks itself too. My child is not safe
Rear passenger side door no longer opens when "unlocked". Safety hazard for passengers riding in the back, like my toddler. Vehicle was parked with the ignition on and child in the adjacent seat. After many tries to lock/unlock it opened. Now it will not open at all under any circumstance.
Frontal side was badly hit by other passing car .in a crossroadm..the vehicule was wrecked but the airbags did not deplyed. I contacted hyundai USA and they told me to contact hyundai pr. Created a case #3830 but the investigatro closed the case without notice or inspecting the damaged or claim
I made a complaint about right rear door that will not open or unlock from either the inside or outside. Can not be opened either manually or electronically. Now the left rear door will only open from outside handle. A safety issue.
