36 Body problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2021

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!.
