Description of the problem | The driver side rear door won't open from either inside or outside. No child lock is on, and the lock/unlock button works fine, but nothing happens when i pull the door handle from outside or inside. I have my child sitting in the rear seat and it is a critical safety issue, being unable to open the door from either side. I found that this is a known issue to this particular year model 2016 hyundai tucson, and there are many consumer complaints for this problem. Also, in korea, the original country of hyundai, the national consumer report agency announced, in december 2019, of this issue and requested hyundai motors to correct this problem and hyundai has accepted to repair this known issue to the consumers. Hyundai has sent out a letter to the owner of the affected vehicles, tucson, manufactured between may 2015 to december 2016, (106,726 cars) to repair and replace the door latch 4ea at no cost. It is the same model and this needs to be done as soon as possible also for the consumers in the usa and it needs to be on the recall list. Please take look at this issue seriously and take necessary action to hyundai motors usa. Below is the link in korean about door latch recall on 2016 tucson vehicles, published in december 2019.
