37 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson

Failure Date: 02/01/2021

Three of the four doors have defects which prevent them from opening from the outside or inside, which is a major safety concern. The door lock acuator is what needs to be replaced. The right front door was replaced in 2018. One of the back doors was replaced in 2020, and now the other back door won't open due to the same issue. I often transport children and an elderly grandparent, all of whom sit in the back seat. If I had been in an accident, there would be no way to get them out of the vehicle. On top of the fact that this is clearly a manufacturer defect with the vehicle, I'm now concerned the driver's door will stop working soon, meaning I can't drive the vehicle at all. I contacted Hyundai customer support since the vehicle is 1,000 miles over warranty and they said there is nothing they can do (conversation 4/5/21). Five star Hyundai of macon refused to put in a request to over-ride the warranty to get it fixed, since clearly it is a manufacturer problem with my vehicle. The vehicle hasn't been in any accidents that would have caused this issue and Hyundai is apparently aware of the issue, as it frequently occurs with Tucsons and elantras (per conversation with five star Hyundai), yet refuses to do anything about it. Because my vehicle is now at 61,000 miles they are saying it is no longer their responsibility and are not offering to assist in any way. The blind spot detector is also malfunctioning, not notifying when a vehicle is next to mine and occasionally going off when there is no vehicle at all. Five star macon said this is also not under warranty anymore and said they don't know why it would be a problem but would require them removing my bumper and doing extensive diagnostic work before they'd know how to fix it.

38 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson

Failure Date: 01/13/2021

Made appointment to correct recall at the dealership, then 1 week later they said there is currently no remedy to fix the recall. They don't know how long it will take, but will contact me to make a service appointment once they find a remedy. The problem if this recall is not fixed it can cause a fire in the engine. At this time, I was advised to only park outside to prevent a internal combustion in the engine.
