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.

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.

problem #9

Tucson

  • 91,000 miles
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!
