2017 Hyundai Elantra Latches/Locks

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that upon attempting to enter the vehicle, the driver's side door failed to open, after which he became aware that the failure existed with all four doors. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed failures with the door actuator on all four doors. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.

My door handle requiring repeated attempts to open the door, same as in the TSB Number: 21-BD-006H (NHTSA Number: 10196574). It is possible that hyundai does not includes a lot of vehicles with similar problems.

Rear driver door will NOT open whether in the unlock position manual or power, or lock position. Has not been checked by a dealership, police, or otherwise. Has been "locked" and unable to open for about 2 months. Safety issue- if in an accident, such as car is on fire, or under water, or passenger side is damaged to impare door, persons will be trapped and can cause death. There are no sensors, lights, etc. to indicate a problem. Internet research shows other individuals with this same problem related to Hyundai vehicles.

Door handles have to be pulled multiple times to open the door, specially it’s at night it’s very dangerous for a girl and scary I can’t get into my car when I needed to.

While driving the trunk latch broke and the trunk flew open. There is no damage to the trunk or rear end of the vehicle. We did not hit any pot holes we were on a straight way driving and the trunk just opened. Now it won't close. The truck light won't go out. I am glad we weren't on the highway going at a higher rate of speed and this happened.

Door handles not functioning on my vehicle. Rear drivers side door will not open from inside or outside.Front passenger door does not open from outside only from inside. Front drivers door has had issues opening and closing door handle currently falling off. No known recalls or safety alerts for my vehicle even though Hyundai has released a 10 year extended warranty on door handles mine is not warrantable to my knowledge.

Right rear passenger door will not open. The door will not open from the inside or the outside. The latch is in the "unlocked position" and the child safety lock is off. The child safety lock is proven to be off, as the left rear door will open as it should. Unlocking, locking, child safety lock on or off, starting the car, turn the engine off-nothing allows you to open the door. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE ASSIST IN HAVING HYUNDAI MAKE THIS A RECALL. Thank you. Mileage 82K.

Driver side door handle has become inoperable. A manufacturer Technical Service Bulletin has been issued in response to repeated failures. This is a safety risk and should be a Manufacturer Recall (not a TSB).

I just bought my car used on May 10, 2022. I have been unable to open my driver side door and having difficulty opening my passenger front door. I had the battery on the Key Fob replaced but It is getting more and more difficult. I have to climb into the passenger side to get into my car or have someone open the door manually from the inside of the vehicle.

Back rear passenger door no longer can be opened from the inside or outside of the car, and it is not locked. This problem started about 6 weeks ago. Starting three days ago my passenger front door will no longer open from the outside but will open from the inside, and it too is not locked.

My rear vehicle Doors will not open, could not get my passenger out. My visually impaired son had to climb over front seat to finally, get out. Thankfully , there was no emergency. No warning lights about problem. Waiting for inspection by dealership. Very hard to get appointment for service.

Rear left door does not open from the inside or the outside

Rear doors are locked unable to open them from the inside or outside

Hyundai Elantra 2017 just starts shaking. First time it happened when I turned on the car (check engine light came on but went off again after restarting it). Second time it started shaking while driving on highway and almost caused an accident. I pulled off and restarted car and shaking stopped. Both cases the engine light came on but didn’t stay on for me to get it checked. I believe this to be a very common problem. Hearing a lot about faulty coils and spark plugs that lead to much worse problems. Also, both back doors will not open. I’ve been told this is due to a bad plastic part inside door that commonly breaks. Hyundai will not take responsibility for either. This is very unfortunate and causing a ton of problems for many people!

Rear drivers side door Will not open from inside nor outside when unlocked by either key fob or door unlock control on front door panel???!!! Cannot open if there is an accident… Window opens with both windows buttons. Door will not open when unlocked… Also my passenger side front door has similar issue except, I can open door from inside but not from outside???!!! Key fob does not unlock the door???!!! But front drivers door opens all the time… Very disappointed with this vehicle.

The car is 6 years old (just past the 5 year warranty). Within the past week, the front and rear passenger doors are unable to be opened from either the outside or the inside. This is an incredible life threatening safety risk. When searching the internet, this is a common problem with Hyundai and is expensive to fix, yet there are no recalls on this.

The driver rear door will not open from the inside or from the outside. No matter how you lock/unlock it when you pull either door handle nothing happens basically leaving a rear seated passenger trapped.

the problem is with the door lock actuator rear driver side and front passenger side, 2 doors!!! they don't open even from inside and out side when the door is locked and unlocked its so dangerous at the accident time or emergency times when the car is in fire and doors don't open from both sides when they are unlocked
