Description of the problem | My back passenger door lock actuator is failing. I am unable to open my door from the inside or outside after the door has been locked. Once you hit the unlock button, there is a tiny part in the lock actuator that is not fully returning to the left which leaves that specific door still locked. It takes several pulls/pushes on the door to get it open again and sometimes it can take days before i can get it to open again. My husband was able to take the door panel off to see the functionality of the actuator and was able to see the part was failing when he would try to unlock the door with the key foib/unlock button. Based on my research this is a known issue with hyundai tucsons but hyundai has not issued a recall and will charge a diagnostic fee of $100 plus cost of labor and part to repair. This is a serious safety concern for my passengers and should be an issue hyundai makes right. This issue is occurring regardless if my vehicle is running or not. |
