Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: One morning the car would not unlock with the keyless remote, i unlocked it with the key, then went to the store and locked it. came out of the store then i unlocked it with the key again and started driving down the street. about 5 min into the drive, my doors automatically locked. at this point i was a little shocked because my doors never lock. then all of a sudden the alarm started to sound. i was very afraid that the car would lock up. i finally kept pressing the unlock button on the key ring and it shut off. no problems till after work. the car door unlocked with the electric unlocker, as soon as i got in the alarm went off and the car would not start. i started pressing the button again, the alarm went off. no problem for about a week, took it to the shop, nothing could be found once again. i had told them the last time i took it in that the doors sometimes do not unlock right away. after picking it up from the shop i drove about 10 miles to a store and when i came out, the car would not start. i had to have it jumped. the car worked again, it is an on and off issue that i have had for a i would also like to let you know that on more then one occasion i have also let hyundai of el paso know that there is something wrong with my car because it is making ticking noises, and the central locking/unlocking system. i forgot to mention this on the previous occasion. each time the service rep took my car in, he told me nothing could be found. my car at times will not unlock. right before the last time i brought it to the shop something very strange happened. i told the service clerk the story and once again, they could not find anything wrong. again this seems to me to be an electrical problem. i am since my car has a little over 60,000 miles this is in four parts sorry that i had to break this up into parts there are 4 complaints filed
