Hyundai Entourage Latches/locks/linkages Safety Report | July 01, 2010
Reported on July 01, 2010
| BOTH OF OUR HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE SLIDING DOORS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. AT FIRST THEY WOULDN'T CLOSE ALL OF THE WAY OR LOCK WHEN USING THE ELECTRIC DOOR FEATURE. THEN, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN CLOSING THE DOORS MANUALLY. THEN, THE ELECTRIC FEATURE TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND THE DOORS STILL DIDN'T FULLY CLOSE OR LOCK WHEN CLOSED MANUALLY. WE HAD IT FIXED AND WERE TOLD THAT THE MOTORS ON THE DOORS HAD BURNED OUT. THIS IS SURPRISING THAT THESE DOORS DON'T LAST LONGER GIVEN THAT IT IS A HIGHLIGHTED FEATURE OF THE MINIVAN; THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE USE. I AM SUSPECT OF THIS CHARACTERIZATION OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR | |
