The driver's side door latch on your 1997 Hyundai Sonata broke, leaving the door unable to open. This is a safety concern since you can't exit the vehicle normally. Fixing this will require replacing the door latch assembly and may involve labor costs to open the door if it's stuck closed.

Your power door locks aren't working properly. When you insert the key into the passenger door lock, it won't open, and the locking mechanism won't lift when you're inside the vehicle. The fix will likely involve replacing or repairing the power lock actuator and related linkage components in the passenger door.
