Description of the problem | Door lock actuator on 3 of 4 doors has failed. This means that the door cannot open from inside our outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was stationary, i parked and when i returned, i could not open the doors (in all 3 instances). Front passenger and both rear doors. Rear doors failed within a week of each other and all three instances of failure have occurred within a year (front in january, rear in october). I contacted hyundai about the problem when it occurred with the rear doors, concerned that this could be dangerous (i. E. People trapped in cars in the event of an emergency). The hyundai representative i talked with agreed that it was a huge safety risk/issue, but unfortunately they could do nothing about it without the direction of the nhtsa (such as a recall of the door lock actuator). |
