THE AUTO WAS PARKED AND DOORS LOCKED USING FOB. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR, I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON FOB, HEARD THE CLICKING SOUND THE FOB MAKES WHEN THE UNLOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED; WE PULLED THE DRIVER SIDE AND BOTH PASSENGER DOOR LATCHES, THE DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS DID NOT OPEN. MY GUEST TRIED TO ENTER THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR BY PULLING THE INSIDE LATCH, IT STILL DIDN'T OPEN. NEXT I PULLED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH FROM THE INSIDE, IT OPENED. I LEANED INTO THE CAR, TURNED ON THE ENGINE TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS WINDOW TO ENTER THE CAR. I'VE TRIED REPLACING FUSE AND FOB BATTERIES, RESETTING THE LOCK/UNLOCK CODE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. CRAWLING OVER SEATS, ROLLING DOWN WINDOWS THE RUNNING AROUND CAR, AND LEAVING WINDOW OPEN ARE SAFETY HAZARDS. TWO NON-WORKING DOORS ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND NEGATIVELY IMPACTS MY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.
MY CAR WAS STATIONARY OVER NIGHT AND MY SUNROOF BUSTED. HAD GOTTEN HOME THE NIGHT BEFORE AFTER DRIVING FOR 6 HOURS AND PARKED THE CAR. I HAD BEEN NEAR IT SEVERAL TIMES AND NEVER SAW A CRACK OR ANYTHING. WENT TO GET IN THIS MORNING AND IT HAS GLASS EVERYWHERE.
THE TAILGATE RELEASE PAD HAS TO BE PRESSED VERY HARD TO GET THE LATCH TO UNLOCK. WE BEGAN NOTICING THIS ISSUE AT CHRISTMAS WHEN WE WERE LOADING THE TRUNK FOR A TRIP HOME AND IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE TRUNK OPEN AT ALL WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THE TRUNK COMPLETELY USELESS. I TOOK IT, TODAY, TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE PAD HAD COLLAPSED INSIDE OF THE SWITCH AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DUE TO THE PART NUMBER FOR THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH/PAD INDICATING THAT IT WAS A RECALLED PART THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID A SEARCH FOR A RECALL OR CAMPAIGN ON THIS PART THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PART ON VELOSTERS WITH A MODEL YEAR OF 2015 AND 2016. I WANT TO REPORT THIS NOW ON THE 2014 MODEL YEAR VELOSTER TURBO AS THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE SAME CAMPAIGN AS THE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS AS IT IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
