“2008 Hyundai entourage gls: rear passenger door appears to open while vehicle is in transit. Door open indicator, alarms and lights go on to indicate opened door. Opening and closing door gets alarms to go off. Initial instance was confirmed by dealership to be caused by broken cable and cracked module.”
NHTSA complaint #10223019, filed 2008-04, 50 miles“2008 Hyundai Veracruz limited. Just picked it up on friday. Prior to my purchase I read in an on-line Hyundai forum that the proximity key fob that is used to arm/disarm the vehicle, lock/unlock all doors, and open/close the liftgate has an issue that causes the liftgate to open by itself even tough the doors are locked. I went outside today to find my liftgate open . The key fob was in my pants pocket. I would like Hyundai to investigate a re-design.”
