Description of the problem | My doors have been not being able to open from the inside or out. This is the 2nd time this has happened and they say it's because the door latch is bad. This is a total safety issue, because if i were to get into an accident and my only way out was the door i would be locked in and potentially die. The fact this has been an issue for people for over a year and still not a recall and for it to happen to me twice is ridiculous. My dad is a first responder and says that this isn't a recall is unacceptable. And the fact that the only way it will be a recall is for someone to die in the accident and for them to sue hyundai to be a recall is ridiculous. Please consider the door latch issue to be a recall you can see all the other complaints online by typing in google. My door will randomly just stop opening one day once you close and you cannot open it from the inside or the outside. This has now happened on both rear doors. |
