Caught on fire. Started under passager floor board. Burnt completely up

I acquired my vehicle as a used car. Although, to my knowledge my vehicle air bags have not deployed, the air bag light is illuminated on my dash panel and this issue is preventing me from obtaining an updated vehicle registration in my state of residence (Delaware). Since the year make and model are listed under the "recall" section of the NHTSA website, specifically for an airbag issue, I am requesting information regarding what nest-steps I nay take to have this problem repaired by Hyundai without any cost to me.

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the front passenger side air bag wiring harness; however, the part was discontinued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 75,880.

This car accelerates while unattended. Most likely due to an ECM malfunction and unable to properly respond/send signals to the motor. On 4 occasions, the car has accelerated, even if in park. It will go 25mph on its own and to stop I had to put it in neutral. I’ve seen that my car isn’t the only one experiencing this. Considering it’s an ECM issue there should be a recall because that is not a part you change during the life of a car.

ESP off ligh comes on and off have to turn suv off to ture light off Had report it to nhtsa twice but no one replied 2/28/22 # 05V119000 2/14/22 #11454471

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving 65 MPH and attempting to accelerate, the RPM failed to raise, and the vehicle failed to respond. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) warning light was illuminated. The contact parked on the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that after restarting the vehicle, the warning light disappeared. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

INITIAL ISSUES ON VEHICLE PRESENTED IN JANUARY 2021 WITH VARIOUS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES INCLUDING P0133. ALTHOUGH VEHICLE PASSED EMISSIONS IN 2020, VARIOUS CHECK ENGINE CODES FOR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, OXYGEN SENSORS, MISFIRE FOR VARIOUS CYLINDERS.

ADDITIONALLY, BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2021, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CLOSEST LOCAL DEALSHIP FOR A LARGE MAJORITY OF THESE REPAIRS INCLUDING A $150 DEALERSHIP FEE JUST TO HAVE THESE CODES REVIEWED AND ADDITIONAL FEES FOR THE LABOR TO ADDRESS FOR EACH ISSUE FOR EACH REPAIR.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE IN A SHOPPING CENTER. AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING PLACE I VERY LIGHTLY TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE REVED UP AND I APPLIED THE BRAKE ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR CONTINUE FORWARD AND GO UP THE CEMENT CURB. I THEN PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD AND ONLY THEN DID THE CAR STOP. IF THE CEMENT BLOCK HAD NOT BEEN THERE, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR PARKED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. THE FRONT TIRES HAD GONE ABOUT TWO FEET UP ON THE CEMENT BLOCK. THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ONCE AGAIN PARKING. THIS TIME I WAS PARKING PARALLEL TO THE CURB. I PULLED INTO AND IN FRONT OF THE SPACE I WAS GOING TO PARK IN. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BEGAN TO BACK UP SLOWLY WITH MY FOOT OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE REVED UP AND THE CAR LURCHED BACKWARD. THIS TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKE VERY HARD AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR BEFORE I HIT CAR IN BACK OF ME.

2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STOP LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE STOP LAMP RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A FAILURE. *JS

ON MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON GLS (94.5K MILES, SINGLE OWNER, GARAGE KEPT AND REGULARLY CAR WASHED), LOWER LEFT CONTROL ARM WAS SO RUSTED (HOLES) TO A POINT THAT IT CAN BE BENT WITH LITTLE PRESSURE WHEN PUSHED AGAINST HARDWARE SURFACE. MY YOUNG ADULT SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT STARTED PULLING TO SIDE ON LOCAL STATE HIGHWAY. VERY VERY DANGEROUS!! THANK GOD MY KIDS WERE NOT IN A MAJOR CRASH DUE TO THIS. THE LOWER RIGHT CONTROL WAS RUSTED AS WELL TO A POINT IT MAY NEED A REPLACEMENT IN NEXT YEAR OR TWO. REPLACED BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS AT MY EXPENSE AS I FIGURED HYUNDAI WILL NOT COVER THIS. THERE IS JUST SO MUCH AMOUNT OF RUST UNDER THIS CAR THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE. IN APRIL 2018, LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER VOLUNTARILY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK BANDS (TSB#18-01-015) UNDER A RECALL #952 (NO RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI) WHEN I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, HOWEVER THEY MADE NO MENTION ABOUT RUSTED LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND OTHER RUST. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI AND IT'S DEALERS ARE AWARE OF SEVER RUSTING ON 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON, BUT KEEPING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN DARK AND RISKING THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES!! BTW, I OWN 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L WITH 130K MILES HAS SOLID CONTROL ARMS WITH MINIMAL TO NO RUST. I THINK HYUNDAI MAY HAVE USE A LOWER QUALITY AND LOW COST MATERIAL!!

MY AXLE NUTS ARE SERIOUSLY CORRODED, TO THE POINT THEY NO LONGER LOOK LIKE NUTS. I'M VERY CONCERNED THE AXLES MAY SEPARATE FROM THE WHEELS.

3 OUTSIDE AND 3 INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF. MOTOR FOR ELECTRONIC WINDOWS [DRIVER, FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER] ALL QUIT WORKING WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. AND NO, IT WASN'T FUSES. HEADLIGHT HOUSING, PASSENGER SIDE IS BREAKING INSIDE THE HOUSING.

I HAVE A HYUNDAI THAT HAS A SEVERE SUBFRAME RUST. THE DEALER STATES IT WILL ONLY REPLACE THE PART AND NOTHING MORE. THE SUBFRAME IS SO RUSTED THAT THE PART CANNOT BE ATTACHED. THEY NEED TO REPLACE MORE THAN THE PART ON RECAP TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3.5 WEEKS OF NOTHING BUT THE RUNAROUND. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO GET THIS SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE FIXED. THERE WILL BE A CRASH IF THEY DON'T FIX IT

BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT ARE STAYING ON

I WAS OUT OF MY TOWN PICKING UP A TODDLER I WAS GOING TO BABYSIT THAT NIGHT, I ALSO HAD MY OWN 1.5 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE, ON MY WAY BACK HOME THE VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ROUGHLY 50 MPH AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED. I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES LATER AS I WAS MAKING A LANE CHANGE AGAIN AROUND 50 MPH THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY DECELERATED AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT US! I HAD TO BABIES IN THE CAR UNDER 2 YEARS OLD! I LIMPED MY WAY TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE AND THE COMPUTER READ OUT A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 5. I LIVED APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AWAY AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE GOING MAYBE 40 MPH WITH MY CAUTION LIGHTS ON WHILE HEAVY TRAFFIC FLEW BY AT 70 MPH! I HAVE HAD MY SPOUSE LOOK AT IT AND WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY READING THE MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 5 EVERY TIME. WE ARE GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS WIRES AND COIL PACK, BUT AFTER A TON OF RESEARCH I HAVE LITTLE TO NO FAITH THIS WILL WORK. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND IT HAS 118900 MILES ON IT. I AM NOW NERVOUS TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF TOWN LET ALONE ON THE INTERSTATE THAT RUN DIRECTLY THROUGH MY TOWN!
