Hyundai Tucson door latch failure. Unable to open rear passenger door from the inside or the outside. If I were to be involved in an accident with passengers in the vehicle there would be no way for the passengers to exit the vehicle, which could result in someone dying. This vehicle has only 55,000 miles on it and Hyundai is aware that this is an issue on their vehicles but is failing to address it. Would like Hyundai to address this issue before it does result in a fatality.

1. Back passenger door won’t open from inside or outside 2. AEB AND BDS sensor light stays on on the dashboard. No wreck and cleaned all sensors but warning lights remains on.

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. Less than 60K miles when this issue started with brakes. I'm the first and only owner of this vehicle. The other safety issue is the doors not opening. 3 out of 4 doors have problems opening from inside and outside. This forum explains exactly what is happening to my doors. https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/rear-passenger-door-wont-open.603329/

Rear Passenger and Driver door handles do not open from the outside OR the inside. I can hear the locks clicking but the handle just will not open the door from either side. Also, after unlocking my driver door handle, I have to pull it twice for it to open. This is a huge safety issue. I cannot have anyone ride in my backseat. It is essentially useless and it seems it is just a matter of time that my driver door handle go out also and I get stuck or cannot enter through my door. This is not normal wear and tear.. this is a malfunction and from what I have read is very widespread.

I not only have a recall on my vehicle but I also have a serious problem with acceleration. On multiple occasions I've almost gotten into accident due to my vehicle accelerating at a very low speed or not accelerating at all.

Financed the vehicle in July of 2019. After about 6 months of having the vehicle the right back brake light stopped working. Light bulb, socket, and fuses were changed but theres still an issue. I also noticed that I was having a problem with acceleration. Just recently I was on the highway on my way to work, as I was trying to accelerate my speed was going down, my vehicle basically wouldn't move. It started making this awful loud almost whistling sound. I thought I was going to die. I havent used my vehicle since. The vehicle also still has the same inspection sticker on it from the dealership. I have been unable to pass state inspection due to these ongoing issues.
