So there are a few issues that need to fixed with this that just randomly stopped working. First the driver side door will not unlock and sometimes it locks with my key fob. Second, My air bag Symbol has also popped up and will not go away. My horn will not honk and the right side on the steering wheel buttons suddenly stopped working. And now my passenger side back door will not open from the inside and out. These are things that shouldn’t be happening to the car, it’s not even 10 years old since I’ve had the car. Please fix these issues which at the dealership charge an arm and a leg to fix these issues. We need recalls for these issue to get fixed that Hyundai couldn’t do when they released these car types.

During cold temperatures (sub 32F), the driver's side door will not open from the outside. Occasionally the passenger door is affected as well. This required crawling through the hatch to open the doors from the inside. When the key fob is actuated you can hear and audible click in the area of the door lock, but it can't be opened. Once the weather warms and the car warms up the doors perform normally. This has never occurred during the warmer months.

Veloster has three doors. At the same time, for no apparent reason, both passenger side doors failed to open from the outside. In researching this problem, I found many Hyundai's have door problems. It starts with not opening from outside, then will not open from inside or outside. The safety hazard is getting trapped in the car and not being able to open a door for escape or someone from outside trying to help and they cannot get the door open to help. The problem has been identified by an independent service center and there are many references to Hyundai door locking problems on the Internet. This has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives. No warnings, the doors just failed to open, 2 of my 3 doors failed. Fortunately, I had one door to use. If someone was in the small backseat it would be very difficult to crawl out to the front to exit.
