FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. THE POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON OPERATES CORRECTLY, BUT THE RR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN EITHER FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY DAMAGE TO THE DOOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THE VEHICLE CATCH FIRE, OR BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE " WHY WON'T MY RR DOOR OPEN ON MY 2016 TUCSON". I'VE LEARNED THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS SINCE 2018. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I PLAN TO SOON. SOME VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE PAID THE DEALER OVER $1,300 TO REPAIR THE DOOR. I AM A RETIRED POLICE INVESTIGATOR, AND I KNOW THE DANGER THAT SUCH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS CAN CAUSE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

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.

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.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON WAS FAILING TO ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP, AND SHUDDERING / SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY ALARMING ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS IN WHICH YOU COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI TO FIND OUT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (AGAIN, IN 2021) - WHILE I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL IN 2016 FOR THIS ISSUE I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER THE COSTS OF REPAIR. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH HYUNDAI BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CONTACT BACK. MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND I AM BEING TOLD I WILL BE CHARGED STORAGE FEES IF I LEAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WITHOUT REPAIR WHILE I WAIT TO SETTLE MY CLAIM. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO AN ISSUE THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN RECALLED.

I HAD MY VEHICLES OIL CHANGE COMPLETED 3/17/21. ON 3/31/21 MY VEHICLES OIL LIGHT DISPLAYED AS HAVING NO OIL. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AND WENT BACK TO THE OIL CHANGE CENTER I'VE GONE TO FOR THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THEY ASSURED ME THERE WAS NO LEAK. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND I AM ONE OF MANY WITH THIS ISSUE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR ENGINE REPAIRS ESPECIALLY WHEN I'VE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH MY OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THESE REPAIRS OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLES LIKE VOLKSWAGEN HAD TO DO A FEW YEARS AGO.

WHILE DRIVE MY CAR STARTED MARKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND JUMPING BACK AND FORTH AND THE OIL CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY SON. HE CAME AND CHECKED IT OUT, THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT. HE PUT OIL IN AND AND I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME. THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND SHUT DOWN ON ME AND MY SON HAD TO TOW ME HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON 50 TIMES AND IN THE LAST YEAR AND THEM GOES OFF. I TOOK IT TO DEALER SHIP 10 DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON, USUALLY IT GOES OFF BEFORE I GET THERE. THEY ALWAYS CLAIMED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND SAID I GOT BAD GAS IN IT.

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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

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.

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.
