Due to the excuse "we are booked up for the next 3 months, they are on back order as well" Getting one off Amazon for $14 and 10 min of time takes care of the issue more quickly! When the dealer calls to do it, give them the original broken one and have it replaced with the factory one.
How long does this part take to install?
Generally 10-15 minutes, depends if you replace just the latch or the cable as well.
Does the button on the fob and inside the car work with these Amazon replacement parts?
Yes, works exactly the same as the factory original.
So I’m looking for this item on Amazon and I can’t seem to find it. Was it for a 2017 Hyundai Sonata?
Yes. If you watch part 2 of my sonata trunk won't open, I show the the brand and part # I bought.
Why not have the dealer replace it free of charge since it’s a recall?
