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

Rear passenger door will not open from either inside or outside. You can hear the lock click and the latch moves to unlocked but the door will not open when handle is pulled. This is a HUGE safety issue as anyone in the back seat CANNOT get out in case of an emergency and no one on the outside can get in! The issue began on 7/13/22 when the respective door seemed to "stick" but opened. On 7/14/22 it would not open AT ALL from either outside or by pushing from inside. I called the dealership and was told because my car was 5 years and 2 months old (but less than 60,000) it no longer fell under the manufacturers warranty. This is not a wear and tear issue. This is a complete SAFETY issue that needs to be considered for a recall and my own research has shown that this is a KNOWN issue with Hyundai vehicles lock actuators.

Two of the 4 doors no longer open from either the inside or outside. They are not locked and are not damaged in anyway, they just stopped opening. This is a safety hazard as someone could get trapped in my car, or unable to get into the car to avoid danger.

door handle latch will not open door from inside or out due to either defective latch or cable. this is a very dangerous condition for occupant that could become trapped and unable to escape vehicle. seems that there are multiple reports of this happening. I already had one such latch replaced while my vehicle was still under warranty now another has failed. Thankfully this was not an emergency situation.

I have to pull multiple times on the Driver door handle before the door opens. Did research and found that the cable on the inside of the door handle may be over stretched causing the door to only open sometimes. This is a safety issue and there should be a recall. There are a lot of others complaints about this issue. Please issue a recall and take care of your customers.

The doors are not opening. In some instanced both outside and inside the vehicle. The door handles are being pulled, but the door does not open. My wife is having the same issue with her vehicle which is the same make and model, just 1 year older model. This could represent a major danger to the occupants in an emergency if they cannot get into or out of the vehicle. After doing an online search about this manufactures defect, I have discovered that thousands of owners are having the same issue. I have also discovered that this issue was identified in Korea and corrected there. Thank you for contacting Hyundai Customer Care Center.

Yesterday my rear passenger door on the driver's side stopped opening from the inside and outside. The door was unlocked and not on child lock. There is no way opening this door at the moment! It is a safety concern in case of an emergency and passengers must exit quickly! There are no warning lamps and I read on forums that it is a known problem yet Hyundai is charging a fee to diagnose the problem. If this is happening to many vehicles please make it a recall!
