HAVING TURNED ONTO THE SUBDIVISION STREET TOWARDS OUR HOUSE, MY HUSBAND NOTICED A CHEMICAL SMELL. HE ROLLED DOWN THE CAR WINDOW AND THE SMELL WAS MORE INTENSE, SO HE ASSUMED IT WAS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE .AFTER ABOUT 1/4 MILE DRIVE, HE ATTEMPTED TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE STREET TOWARDS OUR HOUSE, BUT HAD TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING. AT THAT POINT THE WINDOW STATED TO FOG UP. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. HOWEVER HE DECIDED TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE AND OUT OF THE STREET AND ONTO AN EMPTY LOT. THERE WERE POPPING SOUNDS AND HE SAW SPARKS COMING FROM THE HOOD. HE MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR JUST IN TIME TO ESCAPE THE ENSUING FLAMES. LUCKILY, HE WAS NOT DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET OR HIGHWAY!. THERE WAS NO WARNING RE THE FIRE AND THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED SO WHAT WAS THE REASON?

ISSUE WITH FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS - THEY WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE LATCH INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD EVEN RESULT IN A FATALITY IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. IMAGINE IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE AND NEITHER YOU NOR EMS COULD GET YOU OUT! I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IF I NEEDED TO GET THEM OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY DUE TO A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO SO. THIS SHOULD SERIOUSLY BE LOOKED INTO AS A RECALL AND ANYONE WHO'S HAD TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER

Potential Consequences:
ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI (AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS), THERE IS A KNOWN DOOR LATCH ISSUE THAT AFFECTS 2015 AND NEWER HYUNDAI TUCSONS AND POSSIBLY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS. OUR 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL ONLY OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS POSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WAS TO BECOME DAMAGED OR BLOCKED, IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO 1. ESCAPE THE VEHICLE, OR 2. SAVE SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT DURING AN EMERGENCY- SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR ELDERLY WHO REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND LATER AFFECTS THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, ONE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TO BREAK A WINDOW JUST TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE PUTS DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS IN IMMINENT DANGER, NOT TO MENTION THE STRESS, FRUSTRATION AND FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR TO REMOVE A CHILD FROM A CAR SEAT OR LOVED ONE INTO THEIR WHEEL CHAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT IS ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD. HYUNDAI'S UNWILLINGNESS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN $1000 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE- IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN NEEDING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. BEING LOCKED/TRAPPED INSIDE A VEHICLE IS NEVER OKAY.

Potential Consequences:
FOR A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE CAR HESITATED SLIGHTLY FROM A DEAD STOP WHILE WE ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS FROM THE CAR INDICATING ANY ISSUE. BECAUSE IT SEEMED ODD, WE MADE A APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. WHILE WAITING FOR OUR APPOINTMENT ON JULY 12TH, 2020, MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, SUCH THAT THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SPIN WITH NO POWER GOING TO THE WHEELS AT HIGHER RPM'S. FEATHERING THE THROTTLE, A SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MPH COULD BE ATTAINED ON FLAT GROUND AND SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER ON HILLS. AFTER LIMPING IT ALONG TO A LOCAL SHOP, WERE WERE TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS CLOGGED, CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER, WHICH HAD FAILED SENDING SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ONLY KNEW THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TAKE THE CAR APART, SINCE EVEN AFTER THE FAILURE, NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. WE ENDED UP NEEDING A FULL TRANSMISSION REBUILD, A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER AND A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE WAS NO INDICATION FROM THE CARS WARNING SYSTEMS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG, EVEN AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE.

FEATHERING THE THROTTLE, A SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MPH COULD BE ATTAINED ON FLAT GROUND AND SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER ON HILLS. AFTER LIMPING IT ALONG TO A LOCAL SHOP, WERE WERE TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS CLOGGED, CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER, WHICH HAD FAILED SENDING SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ONLY KNEW THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TAKE THE CAR APART, SINCE EVEN AFTER THE FAILURE, NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. WE ENDED UP NEEDING A FULL TRANSMISSION REBUILD, A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER AND A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE WAS NO INDICATION FROM THE CARS WARNING SYSTEMS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG, EVEN AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE.
Additional Notes:
FOR A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE CAR HESITATED SLIGHTLY FROM A DEAD STOP WHILE WE ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS FROM THE CAR INDICATING ANY ISSUE. BECAUSE IT SEEMED ODD, WE MADE A APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. WHILE WAITING FOR OUR APPOINTMENT ON JULY 12TH, 2020, MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, SUCH THAT THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SPIN WITH NO POWER GOING TO THE WHEELS AT HIGHER RPM'S. FEATHERING THE THROTTLE, A SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MPH COULD BE ATTAINED ON FLAT GROUND AND SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER ON HILLS.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
THE RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT ON EACH SIDE OF THE CAR. IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR A CAR FIRE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHICH COULD TRAP THE CHILDREN INSIDE AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR RESCUE WORKERS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AS WELL. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT WITH DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR RENDERING THAT DOOR INOPERABLE THE CHILDREN WILL HAVE NO WAY TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE. IN CASE OF A FIRE, BOTH CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO EVACUATE FROM THE SAME DOOR, DELAYING THE ESCAPE FOR ONE OF THE CHILDREN WHO WILL HAVE TO CROSS THE CAR AND EXIT THE OTHER SIDE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE AN ACCESSIBLE EXIT IN AN EMERGENCY AND THOSE PRECIOUS MOMENTS REQUIRED TO USE AN ALTERNATIVE EXIT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH FOR ONE OF THE CHILDREN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FURTHER DELAYING THE REPAIR AND PUTTING THE CHILDREN AT RISK EVEN LONGER. THE PART ON BACK ORDER INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE AND THIS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
