Door smart key button has broken (driver's & front passenger's door) user is unable to lock/unlock the car. User must use the beeper or key to unlock/lock the car. Went to dealership and the told me that the car has been forced by someone because is very easy to steal. Went to another place and they basically told me that the button broke from usage not by forcing it to enter the car and part is very weak. Vehicle has been indoors and other vehicles doesn't. car company could knew the issue as the new redesigned model has a touchscreen handle to unlock.lock the car.
The rear passenger door will not open from the inside or from the outside when the vehicle is unlocked. This is a hazard as if there's an emergency and a person needs to exit the vehicle they are unable to without climbing seats.

Back right passenger door will not open from inside or outside. I've read online that many people with 16-17 Tucson's have had this problem. This should be a safety recall because in the case of an accident I don't know how someone could be helped out of the car without cutting the door off. You can't get in or out through that door vehicle was stationary when I noticed the problem. Problem exists whether engine is on or off.
The rear dirver side door will not open from the outside when unlocked. The locking mechanisim works fine, but the handle will not open the door. There is no damage to the door or the handle. Sometimes it will open from the inside but is not consistant. This is a safety hazard as I have a toddler that rides in the back seat daily. How am I supposed to quickly get him out of the car in an emergency situation if the door will not open? this is very scary to think that I couldnt remove my child from the car in an emergency. Please have Hyundai make this right!
Door operation was working fine. Then after a trip unlocked and walked around car to remove my five year old and door will not open. Lock engages, however door will not unlatch.
The passenger door on the driver side locked itself. Cannot be opened from either inside or outside. It is safety concern since I can't put child lock on the other passenger side just incase it locks itself too. My child is not safe
Rear passenger side door no longer opens when "unlocked". safety hazard for passengers riding in the back, like my toddler. Vehicle was parked with the ignition on and child in the adjacent seat. After many tries to lock/unlock it opened. Now it will not open at all under any circumstance.

I made a complaint about right rear door that will not open or unlock from either the inside or outside. Can not be opened either manually or electronically. Now the left rear door will only open from outside handle. A safety issue.
