2016 Hyundai Tucson Body & Structure Problems

Your door latch lock assembly has failed, leaving the door unable to open from inside or outside. This has happened more than once on your vehicle, and a previous time trapped your children in the back seat. While your dealership confirmed the issue, they're charging around $1,000 to fix it, though there was a technical service bulletin (TSB) for this problem that has since expired for your vehicle. The repair will involve replacing the faulty door latch lock assembly.

The door latch mechanisms are all faulty. I have read in many forums where this is a common issue with Hyundai models. The door latch on the back passenger door will not operate from inside or outside.

I have three doors on my Tucson affected. Back passenger door will not open at all from the inside or outside. The driver’s will open if I lock and unlock three or four times and pull the handle three or four times.

The drivers back door won't open from the inside or outside. The drivers door is sticking and starting to do the same thing. Very hazardous in case of fire, accident or attempted car jacking.

Back driver side door does not open at all and the passenger door only opens from the inside. If in an accident they may not be able to access me or my passengers in the vehicle. I am unaware of the cause of this issue and have not gotten it looked at by a professional.

Three out of four window regulators failed in my vehicle over the span of 3 months. The windows could not go down nor stay up. This became a safety hazard as I was unable to retain cool air in my vehicle during the summer months and driving at higher speeds on the highway was difficult due to the outside air siphoning into the vehicle from a small window opening.

3 of the doors on this vehicle are hard to open from the outside. The cable that runs from the outside door handle to the door latch mechanism is stretched. You must yank hard on the outside door handle several times before the door latch will release opening the door.

The passenger read doors lock up and become unoperable. So the doors cannot be opened from the outside or the inside. This creates a massive potentially tragic situation.

Passenger rear doors fail to un-lock completely , so unable to open using outside handles and inside handles. Passenger rear door completely unusable , drivers side rear door works 50% of the time after several pulls on door handles. Will not fully unlock with any switches or key fob.

Driver-side rear door fails to open from the inside or the outside. Currently, the passenger seated on that side of the vehicle has to enter and exit the vehicle using the door on the opposite side, which can easily be a safety issue. Thankfully, we have not been in an emergency incident or car accident where someone has had to use that door to get out of the car in a hurry.

Rear right door stopped opening from inside and outside just over a month ago. Two weeks ago front passenger door started to not be able to be opened. To not be able to safely exit a vehicle is a tremendous safety concern....in an accident , in another emergency situation, if vehicle caught fire, etc.

Issue: The rear passenger door will not open from inside and outside. We had set the Child-Lock to enabled, so diagnosing/troubleshooting from the inside is not possible. Frequent and consecutive pulls on the exterior door handle do not provide any opening results.

The back doors will not open from the inside or the outside. I have seem multiple people complain about this and yet still not recall issued. This is a HUGE safety problem.

Rear vehicle doors would not open either from the inside or the outside, progressive in nature over the course of several months. At the time of repair, the door wouldn't open. My elderly mother with limited mobility was stuck in the back of the car for over an hour until I was able to get the car door open.

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.

Ongoing problem with doors not opening from inside the vehicle or outside. Already repaired one at dealership under warranty, other 2 doors repaired and needing repair again. Front drivers door and rear driver door currently effected.

The lock actuators in the driver door and rear passenger door have failed. They vehicle will unlock but the doors will not open. In the event of a fire one could be trapped in the car due to the faulty latches.

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.

A rear door lock is 'frozen" in a locked position. It rejects physical and electronic attempts to open. It remains when engine is off or on.

The rear driver's side door latch failed suddenly and without warning on my daughter's 2016 hyundai tucson. The door could not be opened from the inside or outside of the vehicle. Not being able to open the car door could have LED to so many health and safety issues depending on the situation.

My doors have been not being able to open from the inside or out. This is the 2nd time this has happened and they say it's because the door latch is bad. This is a total safety issue, because if I were to get into an accident and my only way out was the door I would be locked in and potentially die.

I bought my car in 2017 with roughly 33000 miles on it. It now has roughly 89000 on it. I first had problems with the driver side window not working.

My passenger drivers side door will not open or unlock. I took to the hyundai dealer prime hyundai in plymouth ands wasn told my door acuator was bent???????if the door was hardly usedn and not in an accident that means the part was always bentbb. The dealer wants $460.00 to replace.

Rear driver door lock has failed. Door will not open from inside or outside of vehicle. Safety issue in case of an accident, rear passenger can't exit.

I'm the owner of a 2016 hyundai santa fe that the engine started knocking and when I opened the hood car was on fire I looked like a movie car blow up bursting glass everywhere I almost died if I didn't stop to look at it.

Tucson stored in garage. Left after 8am to go to work. After approx 10-15 min on the road it sounded like a bomb exploded above my head and I could hear the bits of glass hitting the headliner/sun visor as I slowed down and carefully drove with my hazards on.

The vehicle door locks cease to function properly leading to both the interior and exterior door handles failing to unlatch the door. This causes the doors to fail to be able to be opened. This could potentially be fatal in an accident situation.

Rear drivers side door and front passenger door not opening when you unlock remotely or manually properly. Sometimes it will open but most times is will. It could be a death trap if someone is stuck on that side of car.

Both rear door latch assemblies stopped working within 1 week of each other. Doors appear to lock and unlock, however they are not able to be opened from the inside or outside regardless of unlocked position. Read multiple reports of others experiencing the same issue, yet there is no recall.

The doors will not open from the inside or the outside after you lock the doors. You have to pull the handle anywhere from 5-10 times to get to open or not. I feel this is a safety issue for my passager if the car was involved in a wreck or caught on fire .

We purchased a 2016 tucson limited on black friday of 2016. This vehicle was equipped with the autonomous emergency braking (aeb) safety option, as is advertised and demonstrated on the hyundai website with video. We experienced a minor front-end collision at approximately 8-10 MPH while merging into traffic at a yield from highway exit ramp.

My car randomly will not reverse; it's happened a few times, I was alone or with my 5 year old the first time, and next couple of times I've had witnesses (husband and a friend) and this last time I was alone but I took a video. Sometimes my car feels like it has no power or like it's in the first gear struggling to make it past that (it's an automatic but that's the best way I can describe it).

1.6 Turbo engine failure while on freeway. Towed to mechanic, then informed needs new engine. This vehicle seized on the freeway

Window regulator and motor have failed due to plastic gears stripping out. I have replaced my two front windows in 2024 at $1063 a window. This week I had both rear windows fail allowing the windows to drop down unexpectedly.

Window is stuck down. Window does not roll up. The Hyundai Tucson doors are notorious for having problems from not unlocking, opening, to the windows not working.

All my doors stick and sometimes I have to fight with my car to even get a door open. Also, when trying to accelerate sometimes my throttle response is slow and I will not move for a few seconds.

In December 2023 I purchased my first car, a 2016 Hyundai Tucsan Limited Edition. The car had approx. After only 9 months, I noticed I was unable to gain access into the rear passenger side door.

Have had to replace the regulator in all four windows. Seems to be a pretty common problem online. Reporting this so hopefully enough people say something that Hyundai has a recall and reimburses us for the repairs.

I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited. I have had both front windows Regulators break within the past year. I had the drivers side repaired but, was hoping there would be a recall before I spent $800 to repair the other one.

Both rear doors will not open from inside or outside. This began 3 years ago, with intermittent opening issues. For the last six months, neither rear door will open from inside, or outside.

The driver side door fails to open from the outside. I'm not sure if it is available for inspection, as I've tried to contact the Hyundai dealership I got it from, and they haven't gotten back to me.

The passenger rear door won't open and hasn't done so an unknown period of time. In July, 2023 I brought it to Shaker Hyundai in Watertown, CT when there was a recall to update the electrical system in this vehicle. I requested they try to fix the door after the recall was complete.

The passenger doors have an issue where the door CANNOT be opened from the inside (or outside). This seems to be a common problem with this car since it can be found very easily on the internet. I was traveling with visitors from overseas and sometimes I was unable to open the door from the outside for them.

Front driver side window regulator assembly broke in which window would not go down. Repaired on 1/24/23 at hyundai of st augustine for $737.27. This is a safety risk due to not being able to put window down in case of emergency and door would not open.

Front passenger side window would not go up on 7/05/23. I went to dealership to get an oil change and while service advisor was pulling car out he put passenger side window down and it would not roll up. I had this window down 2 hours prior and had no issues with it going up.

Door latch suddenly stopped working, making it impossible to open the door from either inside or outside the vehicle. Had this occurred in an emergency situation passengers could have been trapped inside.

About a year ago, the driver's side door stopped opening. Since the vehicle was out of warrantee, I had it repaired but do not have the invoice any longer. I didn't expect it to happen to another door.

Rear passenger door would not open after door is locked from inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle. Was stuck in the vehicle. Had to crawl out via other side door.

In the last 2 years, 3 of our 4 doors locks have failed to open the door from inside and outside. The dealer has made me bring it in to prove its broken. This is a saftey issue, now my driver's door is not working from outside and they want me to bring it it BEFORE ordering and waiting on parts.

Driver's side door will not open from outside even when vehicle is unlocked. It will not open with the key in the door either. I had no warning that this was going to occur, I left work at 9pm and my door would not open.

The back passenger door will not open regardless of the lock/unlock function. It is the main door that my children use to get in/out of the car for school, etc. I reported this to hyundai and they just said they think it is a latch defect.

14, 2022 I had to take my car in to repair/replace front passenger side window regulator. The window no longer would go up and down. Yesterday, Oct.

Rear passenger side door will not unlock/open. Cannot be unlocked by any switch. From info I have been able to find this could be a very dangerous situation.

Passenger rear door will not open from inside or outside. no damage or accident has occurred. door just quit opening.

Rear passenger door will not open from inside or outside when clearly unlocked. Safety concern if must exit vehicle quickly in case of emergency.

The drivers side door almost never opens on the first try, I usually have to pull the handle twice. Recently the passenger side back door will not open from the inside or outside, despite being unlocked. This is a huge safety concern if I were in an accident and could not open this door. I have seen DOZENS of other reports of people having this same issue and a recall should be issued immediately to fix this potential life threatening and dangerous issue.

I've had this used hyundai for 6 months, had to replace drivers door panel ( windows not going up and down) Stopped working. Now drivers back door window will not go up or down. Right side back door will not open anymore. On utube people by the 18k are complaining about these same issues. What next? It's like the body is falling apart.

The passenger front door Will not open from the outside once locked. It must be open from inside the car. This would be a safety concern if there was an accident and people were trying to get into the passenger side car. It seems from research that this is a known issue from Hyundai

First the passenger side rear door would not unlock or open; was repaired for a very high amount and I was told it wasn't covered; now the same thing with the driver's side rear door; online forums show this as a very common problem with Hyundai Tucson 2016. This is a safety issue - door cannot be used to exit the vehicle from the inside or outside at the malfunctioning (non-functioning) door.

Neither of the backdoors of the car will open from the inside or the outside. The first failure was the driver side backdoor which will not open even with force. Several months later the passenger side rear door is experiencing the same issue.

Both front doors no longer open from outside. Started off as intermittent and has gotten progressively worse sometimes I cant get them to open from inside either. This is a huge safety problem.

The lock actuator on the driver's side door failed. The door cannot be opened, even when the car is unlocked. This creates a hazard if one is required to exit the vehicle in an emergency. There have been numerous owners reporting the same issue on different door in the 2016 Tucson.

The latch mechanism in all doors is malfunctioning. The rear doors do not open at all and the front drivers side door only opens sometimes. This is a known defect in the design of the Hyundai Tuscon door latch mechanism.

Brakes feel like ABS is always on. Feel unsafe to drive. Was told by Hyundai dealer that I need a new Steering Column and no explanation on how something like this can just break.

In my 2016 Tucson, the issue started with the front passenger door not opening even though you can hear the car unlocking when clicking the key fob. This issue has now started on the drivers side door, with both the key fob not opening the door as well as manually trying to open the door with the key. This is a serious safely issue and should not be happening. This issue runs the risk of someone being stuck in the car, with no way of getting to them. There was no pre warning of the issue starting. It just happened one day and from that point forward has been progressing to each door. Getting in and out of the car in the event of an accident or emergency poses an issue if the doors do not open. This is made worse by not being able to manually open the door with a key.

Several doors are unable to be opened from both the inside and outside. This is very concerning to me, as in the event of an emergency passengers (including children in car seats) will be able to evacuate the car. After some research it appears many people have this issue with different models of Hyundai vehicles from that time period and yet no recall has been put out. I have never been in an accident in this vehicle and the doors are not dented or otherwise damaged. This problem started slowly, with the door handle not opening on the first try but opening after a few pulls. Over time it got the point where it will not open at all, inside or outside. And over time this has happened with all 4 doors. The two rear doors will not open at all. The front two doors are finicky and take several tries before opening.

My rear passenger side door does not open from the inside of the car and also from the outside of the car when unlocked. This is a huge safety concern as anyone sitting in the back seat would be trapped inside the car in an emergency especially if my grandson were strapped in his car seat in the back and I had to get him out of the car as quickly as possible in an emergency. I called the dealership where I bought the car and they acted surprised even though this is clearly a known issue as I discovered while researching this problem on various blogs. I haven't taken my car to the dealership yet, I'm trying to determine if this will be covered under my 5 years/60,000 mile warranty as my car is right on the edge with my car having 55,000 miles and being 5 years and 2 months old. This problem happened very suddenly and we had no warning at all. The door worked when we left home for a trip and when we reached our first stop 60 miles later, the door would not open from inside or outside.

PASSENGER SIDE DOORS, FRONT & REAR, FAIL TO UNLOCK OR OPEN WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK SWITCH ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR OR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. USING THE LOCK/UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB DOES NOT WORK, EITHER. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.

The passenger side front and rear doors can no longer be opened either from the inside or outside even when th vehicle is unlocked. The mechanism that activates the latches seems to be working as it can be heard on both doors, but the latches themselves seem to fail frequently. This results in a safety hazard since exiting the vehicle in case of an accident where the the only side that's not blocked is the right one becomes impossible except by crawling through the door windows which may not fit the occupant(s).

BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN NEITHER FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE, THE DOOR ACTUATORS FAILED 3 MONTHS APART. I'M VERY CONCERN CHILDERN ARE INVOLVED, AND I AM NOT SAFETY CONFIDENT WITH THE OTHER TWO FRONT DOORS! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER - HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE EXCEPT REPLACE THE ACTUATORS WITH THE SAME STYLE FAULTY ACTUATORS THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY

DOORS WON'T OPEN. DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS FAULTY. CURRENT REPLACEMENT DOES NOT FIX... AND PROBLEM REPEATS. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO FIX AND RECALL. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR AND A CRAZY SAFETY ISSUE!

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE CHILD LOCK WAS DISENGAGED, AND NO AMOUNT OF LOCKING/UNLOCKING WOULD FIX IT. WE WERE IN THE CAR AND IT WORKED NORMALLY, THEN WHEN WE ARRIVED TO OUR DESTINATION COULD NOT GET MY KIDS OUT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE DOOR HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AS NOT ONLY COULD I BIT GET MY KIDS OUT QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY, I ALSO CAN'T LET THEM OUT CURBSIDE, AND AM FORCED TO PULL THEM OUT OF THE BACK SEAT WITH CARS FLYING BY. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS WITH ALL OF THE REMAINING DOORS FAILING, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A CHRONIC WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES, AND TUCSONS IN PARTICULAR. I'M FEARFUL THAT THE DOORS WILL JUST SEIZE UP AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.

REAR PASSENGER DOORS FAIL TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY PRECIPITATING EVENTS TO BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HAND REAR PASSENGER DOORS WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER.

The rear passenger door will not open posing a safety concern. Many other owners of hyundai tucson owners have experienced the same issues. Hyundai should be responsible for repair of this issue.

Both my front and rear drivers side door have been failing to open on my 2016 hyundai tucson.
