Welcome Chas,

Looks like you have a very early model '07? So out of warranty. Sounds like the actuator in the lock has given up the ghost which is fairly common in Hyundais. Out of warranty it could be expensive so try several different dealers (if you can) for the best price .. labour would be the main component I suspect.

Close. Put the window down and unlock with remotes repeatedly while "helping" the lock button on the door by hand.
