2012 Hyundai TUCSON Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1634326
Internal NHTSA #	11298577
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	TUCSON
Model Year	2012
File date	01/01/18
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The left rear door will not open from outside handle or inside handle. Unlocking from the key fob or drivers door control or the lock on the rear door panel does not work. We can not in any way open the door. It worked fine for quite a while then began malfunctioning occasionally and then finally would not open at all. Nothing seems to make a difference weather running, engine off, other doors unlocked, open or closed. It will never unlock or open. I have grandchildren and can't take them both with me. It is unsafe to have a child on that side of the car, or in the back seat at all for that matter. If the car is involved in a crash on the passenger side and the rear passenger door is in-accessible it would be very difficult to get the children, or adults, out of the car.
