Description of the problem | My doors have stopped opening from the inside or outside. The problem first started with my rear driver's side door (last year- has not opened since) and now has happened with the front passenger door (started last summer 2020). Child lock is not on, no obstruction, have tried locking and unlocking several times. The car is stationary, in park. At first if i use a little force and push the door it sometimes will let it open, but eventually this stops working and the door is totally sealed shut. From what i have seen this appears to be an issue for many hyundai owners and there is no real fix. This is a safety issue- if there is an accident or my passengers need to get out of the vehicle quickly, they are quite literally trapped in the vehicle. I'm worried it's only a matter of time before this occurs with my driver door as well. This needs to be a safety recall and is absolutely not normal wear and tear. |
