Potential Consequences:
THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS IN MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FAILED REPEATEDLY. THE FIRST WAS ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020, ONE WEEK OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE SECOND DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED TODAY (FEB 5, 2021). THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUT BECAUSE THEY FAIL IN THE "LOCKED" POSITION. IF THERE WERE A FIRE OR OTHER ACCIDENT, THE OCCUPANTS WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE, RESULTING IN A FATALITY. THE LATCH MECHANISM WON'T UNLOCK FROM EITHER THE PHYSICAL MECHANICAL TOGGLE OR REMOTE SIGNAL. THIS OCCURS THEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN DISCUSSED ON NUMEROUS ONLINE HYUNDAI FORUMS. WE ARE ALL WONDERING WHY 1) HYUNDAI HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL 2) WHY THE NHTSA HAS NOT STEPPED IN AND REQUIRED HYUNDAI TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. NOT BEING ABLE TO EXIT OR ENTER A CAR DURING AN EMERGENCY IS A HUGE RISK TO ALL, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, AND HANDICAPPED PERSONS. I CAN'T THINK OF A GREATER SAFETY ISSUE THAN BEING TRAPPED IN YOUR VEHICLE. PLEASE INTERVENE! THANK YOU.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I WAS DRIVING APPROX 65-70MPH ON THE FREEWAY JUST AFTER 7PM AT NIGHT. IT WAS DARK, BUT NO RAIN. TUCSON STOPPED OUT OF NOWHERE. IT WAS LIKE I HIT AN INVISIBLE BRICK WALL AND THEN STARTED TO PUSH THROUGH IT. I THOUGHT MAYBE I'D HIT SOME UNSEEN ROAD DEBRIS. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I DID NOT GET OUT (IT WAS DARK AND TOO MANY CARS WERE WHIZZING BY.) NONE SEEMED TO BE SWERVING OR PULLING OVER FROM HITTING ROAD DEBRIS. MY SEATBELT LOCKED AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT MY SEATBELT DID LOCK UP. MY EARS WERE RINGING AND MY CHEST WAS SORE FROM THE SEATBELT. THERE WERE NO SENSOR WARNINGS ON MY CONSOLE, SO I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND DROVE OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN I INSPECTED MY CAR, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO BE FOUND. I CALLED POLICE NON EMERGENCY AND THEY PUT ME THROUGH TO HIGHWAY PATROL SO THAT I COULD NOTIFY THEM ABOUT DEBRIS (EVEN THOUGH I HADN'T SEEN IT.) THE NEXT MORNING MY NECK HURT AND I HAD A SLIGHT HEADACHE (THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR 5 OR 6 DAYS NOW). MY FACE MASK FLEW INTO THE FOOT AREA. WHEN I CALLED THE POLICE NON EMERGENCY NUMBER BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER, THEY FORWARDED ME TO THE HIGHWAY PATROL AND THEY LOOKED UP THE CALL/REPORT. THE OFFICERS HAD NOT FOUND/COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY DEBRIS IN THE AREA. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THAT I COULDN'T SEE AND TO PULL THE ELECTRONIC RECORDS. THEY FOUND NOTHING. I FEEL LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM DEPLOYED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S DONE IT. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS TURNING RIGHT AND WAS WELL INTO THE TURN, NOWHERE IN FRONT OF ME AND THE TUCSON BRAKED SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I KEPT ON THE GAS AND IT PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN. THANKFULLY BOTH TIMES NO ONE WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME. I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE OF THIS, BUT I CAN SUBMIT A SECOND REPORT IF NEEDED.

Potential Consequences:
MY DOORS HAVE STOPPED OPENING FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED WITH MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR (LAST YEAR- HAS NOT OPENED SINCE) AND NOW HAS HAPPENED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR (STARTED LAST SUMMER 2020). CHILD LOCK IS NOT ON, NO OBSTRUCTION, HAVE TRIED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS STATIONARY, IN PARK. AT FIRST IF I USE A LITTLE FORCE AND PUSH THE DOOR IT SOMETIMES WILL LET IT OPEN, BUT EVENTUALLY THIS STOPS WORKING AND THE DOOR IS TOTALLY SEALED SHUT. FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS AND THERE IS NO REAL FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE- IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR MY PASSENGERS NEED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, THEY ARE QUITE LITERALLY TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. I'M WORRIED IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS OCCURS WITH MY DRIVER DOOR AS WELL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL AND IS ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.
