Four days ago, after the car was parked, a passenger couldn't get out of the back seat on the driver's side since the door would not open (he finally had to slide over to get out the other side). It seems it would not open from the inside or outside. This is a safety issue that seems to happen to many other owners as well, as seen on the internet while looking for a solution. It is still a problem now, whether the…

Rear passenger door will not open from the inside or outside despite the child locks not being on or the lock engaged. It clicks as if the door has been unlocked but will not open at all. Car is in park. This could potentially be a huge safety issue as you wouldn't be able to get someone in the backseat out of the car.

Left rear door will not open using either the inside or outside handle. Door is unlocked and the child safety lock is off but the door will not open using either handle. Happens every time you try to open the door after stopping. All the doors unlock but only the left rear one will not open. If you hit the side of the car by the handle with your palm the door will unlock after a few tries, very strange. Would be a…

Back door on drivers side will not open. You will not be able to get out of car in an emergency. I have seen on the internet several other people have had the same thing happen. I think hyundai should have to cover the cost of getting this fixed even if it is out of warranty for mileage.

Driver door when it is unlocking we cannot open it from the outside. The rear passenger door does not open at all. It hasn't opened in a few months. I don't use the back of the car being as it's just me and my husband. Today we took my in-laws to the store and my father in law couldn't buckle because the thing that holds the seat belt was locked downward and would not latch.
