The locks in the doors do not alway unlock and sometimes stick. When in a accident or and emergency I won’t be able to get my kids out of the back seat due to the doors not always wanting to open. The front door does not open till the third pull at times. The back doors take a good 15 hard pulls for the lock to open. It shows unlocked inside while not opening from the outside or inside. You just get lucky to it finally opening sometimes.

Sometimes when my car is parked in my garage all of the doors lock without me using the fob. I did have the dealer look at this issue,but they were not able to recreate my issue. So when I get my oil change I make sure the driver's side window is down,so the car doesn't lock on the mechanic with the keys inside. I also feel that my car doesn't get enough miles to the gallon and it should of been included in the last recall.

While opening the rear hatch window of my 2005 Hyundai Tucson, both window hinges broke and the window fell into my hands. The vehicle was parked in the driveway. When I called the dealer he said the hinges were $97. A piece and said he had a lot of them in stock (which leads me to believe this happens a lot more frequently than is reported!).

I bought my Hyundai tuscon brand new back in 2005. Last week I noticed a rattling sound coming from the rear windshield and when I went to check it the back windshield almost has fallen out. The latch that holds the windshield in place has corroded completely. I can honestly say that over the 5 years I have owned the vehicle I hardly open the back window. I usually open the entire tailgate when placing items for storage. I have contacted the dealer and Hyundai about the issue looking to get the latch replaced and haven't heard anything back from them. I have tried on several attempts since I notice the problem. This is dangerous and could cause the windshield to come falling out.
