There are no warning lamps and I read on forums that it is a known problem yet Hyundai is charging a fee to diagnose the problem. If this is happening to many vehicles please make it a recall!”

“The doors are not opening. In some instanced both outside and inside the vehicle. The door handles are being pulled, but the door does not open.

I have also discovered that this issue was identified in Korea and corrected there. …”
