Rear driver-side passenger door will not open from inside or outside of vehicle. Automatic locks on door clicks from lock/unlock but it will not open. I have two small children in car seats in the back and is a major safety risk since the door will not open. The vehicle was not inspected by anyone since I just discovered this issue trying to get my daughter out of the car. There were no issues, warnings, or messages prior to failure. Issue became aware to me when trying to get my daughter out of the vehicle on Sunday 8/1/21. I googled my issue and discovered others (Hyundai owners) with same issue.

The latch of the driver door doesn’t lock. It remains open . There was a recall for it but not sure if it ever got done before I bought the car.

The contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving at 55 mph and attempting to roll up the front driver side window, the window failed to roll up and curved. The contact heard a grinding noise from the window. In addition, the door opened independently and the contact was unable to close the door. The contact had to hold onto the door from the outside in order to keep the door closed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the actuator in the door needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) passenger went to exit the vehicle and got their hand cut by a sharp edge on the door handle. It appears that the chrome-plating has turned into a sharp edge, similar to a razor-blade (identical to what occurred in NHTSA action # pe08071 on the Hyundai sonata). I have temporarily taped the sharp area, since both the dealer and Hyundai customer service refuse to acknowledge the danger of this problem, and refuse to replace the handle at no charge. They tell me that since there is no recall and the vehicle is out of warranty, they will not change the defective (unsafe) handle even though my other three handles are perfectly fine. Hyundai complaint filed (twice), latest date was 3/10/2010 case #[xxx].

The chrome plate on the drivers door handle on my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe has cracked and split. Everytime I open the door to leave the car the handle slices my hand. It's as sharp as a razor blade. I have put tape around it but this is just a temporary fix. My warranty has run out so I don't know what options I may have.

The door locks are all ativated together. You can not unlock the drivers door without all four doors and the back gate being unlocked. I do not know of any car that a single door can not be unlocked without opening all the doors. I feel this is a very serious safety proble. My wife can not go to the mall and exit or enter her truck without the possiblity of someone enterning her truck using a door that she did not won,t to unlock. There will be injury and possible death involved with this factory defect. Please address this complaint post-haste. Thanks; charles walsingham.
