2005 Hyundai Tucson complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE RESTARTED ONCE THE GEAR WAS PLACED INTO NEUTRAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWELVE TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES. THE REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONSISTED OF THE COMPUTERIZED CHIP REPLACEMENT AND A COMPLETE ENGINE TUNE UP. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. UPDATED 05/04/11 *BF UPDATED 05/13/11

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE SINCE THEY CANNOT HOOKUP TO COMPUTER. DEALER CLAIMING COMPUTER MUST BE REPLACED FIRST, BUT IS OUTSIDE WARRANTY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MULTIPLE DEALERS THROUGHOUT THE TIME OF OWNERSHIP TO REPORT PROBLEM. PROBLEM CONTINUOUSLY GOES UNFOUNDED. AS SEEN ON NHTSA AND OTHER POSTINGS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. HYUNDAI CORPORATE CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP. *TR

WHILE OPENING THE REAR HATCH WINDOW OF MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON, BOTH WINDOW HINGES BROKE AND THE WINDOW FELL INTO MY HANDS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER HE SAID THE HINGES WERE $97. A PIECE AND SAID HE HAD A LOT OF THEM IN STOCK (WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS HAPPENS A LOT MORE FREQUENTLY THAN IS REPORTED!)

I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI TUSCON BRAND NEW BACK IN 2005. LAST WEEK I NOTICED A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR WINDSHIELD AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT THE BACK WINDSHIELD ALMOST HAS FALLEN OUT. THE LATCH THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD IN PLACE HAS CORRODED COMPLETELY. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT OVER THE 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE I HARDLY OPEN THE BACK WINDOW. I USUALLY OPEN THE ENTIRE TAILGATE WHEN PLACING ITEMS FOR STORAGE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI ABOUT THE ISSUE LOOKING TO GET THE LATCH REPLACED AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS SINCE I NOTICE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO COME FALLING OUT. *TR

MY WIFE'S HYUNDAI TUCSON (EITHER 2005 OR 2006) ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TODAY WHEN THE ACCELERATION BECAME ERRATIC AND THEN STALLED WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION. SHE IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT INTO OUR HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER. I SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MANAGER TO TELL HIM ABOUT A TPS (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) PROBLEM THAT I HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT SPECIFIC TO THE 05-06 HYUNDAI TUCSON. I ALSO CALLED HYUNDAI BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT SHOW UP AS A 'FAULT CODE'. I HAVE INCLUDED HERE ONE OF MANY NOTES FOUND ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING THIS SAME PROBLEM: AFTER HAVING OUR 2006 TUCSON IN THE DEALER'S SERVICE SHOP FOR OVER THREE DAYS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW TPS(THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR). THIS WAS AFTER THEY CONTACTED HYUNDAI TECHLINE AND AFTER I SUGGESTED THAT THEY TEST THE TPS AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE (CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION AFTER REVIEWING MANY WEBSITES/AUTOFORUMS. SOME FACTS: YOU WILL NOTICE A STUTTERING OR JERKING FEELING ALMOST AS IF YOU HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WERE DOWNSHIFTING AND RELEASING THE CLUTCH QUICKLY WHEN THE ENGINE RPM WAS NOT MATCHED TO THE LOWER GEAR, OR AS IF YOU TAPPED ON THE BRAKE TWICE WHILE DECELERATING. THIS MOTION CAN BE EITHER VERY SLIGHT OR RATHER VIOLENT (ONCE CAUSED US TO BE ACTUALLY PUSHED AGAINST OUR SHOULDER SEAT BELT. 1. ALMOST ALWAYS OCCURS WHEN EITHER COASTING OR DECELERATING, NEVER WHEN ACCELERATING. 2. USUALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 40 -45 MPH. 3. NO FAULT CODE EVER COMES UP SO DON'T EVEN HAVE THE TECH WASTE HIS TIME. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DRO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDIA TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. AFTER THE CRASH OCCURRED THE DASHBOARD FELL DOWN ON HER KNEES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND SHE WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO INFORM HER AS TO WHY THE DASHBOARD FELL DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

BOUGHT A 2005 TUCSON NEW. IT NOW ONLY HAS 19K MILES ON IT. BUT FROM DAY ONE, WHEN I APPROACH A RED LIGHT/STOP SIGN AT ABOUT 30-50 MPH, MANY TIMES AS I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT FEELS LIKE I'M RIDING ON SPEED BUMPS THROUGH THE PEDAL/CAR AND I HAVE TO KEEP TAPPING THE BRAKES AS I CAN FEEL THE CAR WILL NOT STOP IN TIME AND QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. I BROUGHT IT UP AT MY DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH THE FACT WHEN I LOCK MY CAR WITH THE KEY REMOTE, THE HORN BEEP TO ENGAGE THE RARELY SOUNDS. IT MAY SOUND 1 OR 2 TIMES IN 100 LOCKINGS. ALSO BROUGHT THAT UP TO THEM, WITH BOTH THEY FOUND NOTHING. THAT WAS YEARS AGO. I STILL LIVE WITH THIS NIGHTMARE AND IN 2009 MY HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER CLOSED. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI TO ASK WHERE TO GO AND WOULD THE NEW PLACE HONOR THESE OLD PROBLEMS BUT THEY SAID "PROBABLY NOT". NOW MY CAR PAST THE 5 YEAR MARK AND STILL HAS ONLY 19K MILES ON IT AND I'M UP THE CREEK WITHOUT PADDLE. P.S. AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER'S TIRE WEAR PROBLEMS, MINE ARE ALMOST THREE QUARTERS WORN WITH ONLY 19K ON THEM. NEEDLES TO SAY, HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE IS "NOT THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM". *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON, THE STEERING WHEEL FREEZES AND POWER SEEMS TO LESSEN IN THE CAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE STEERING RESUMES. HAS OCCURRED DURING A TURN, MAKING THE CAR GO STRAIGHT. THERE IS NO POWER OVER THE STEERING WHEN THIS OCCURS, HOWEVER, THE BRAKES DO WORK. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES EXTREMELY RIGID WHERE IT CANNOT BE TURNED. HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR THREE TIMES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWO OTHER TIMES WITH NO RELIEF. THEY DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON THIS SITE UNDER STEERING: HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 HYUNDI TUCSON 2.7L V6. IM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED TODAY AT A STOP SIGN. THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME FOR THE SIGN AFTER IT STALLED. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ITS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OTHER TIMES, ALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS AND YIELD SIGNS. THE CAR DOES START RIGHT AFTER ITS STALLED. I'VE DONE A FAIR AMOUNT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS IT HASN'T BEEN SOLVED YET. I'VE READ OF OTHER TUCSONS BEING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. SOME CASES HAVE BEEN WHEN TRAVELING AY HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN, DOOR LOCKS AND SAFETY ALARMS WOULD MALFUNCTION PERIODICALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE TURNS WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS OR WARRANTY FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE, AND THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE HOW TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,148. UPDATED 3/8/10 *CN THE THROTTLE POSITON SENSOR WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 07/09/10

THE BACK HATCH WINDOW OF MY 2005 TUSCON BROKE, SENDING THE RIGHT 1/2 OF THE WINDOW FLYING DOWN ABOUT 2 FEET. THE BACK DOOR/HATCH LATCH IS ALSO BROKEN, YOU CAN'T SHUT IT WITHOUT PULLING HE LATCH BACK OUT MANUALLY FIRST AFTER OPENING IT. HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH AND 1/2 ;PARTS STILL NOT ALL IN. ALSO,THE GAS CAP LATCH IS RESTED AND I FEAR NEXT TO BREAK. *TR

THE HINGES ON THE BACK WINDOW HATCH OF MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON JUST BROKE. FOR NO REASON, WHILE OPENING THE WINDOW, THE ENTIRE WINDOW POPPED OUT AT ME. I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED, HOWEVER YOU WOULD THINK THAT A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE WOULD NOT FAIL LIKE THIS. IT TOOK ME AND MY HUSBAND TOGETHER PUSHING TO GET IT BACK INTO PLACE AND CLOSE. I CAN NO LONGER US THE WINDOW OPENING TO ACCESS THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE - UNTIL I PAY FOR REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS KIND ON EITHER THE SANTA FE OR THE TUCSON? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH. SHE HAD TO EXERT GREAT FORCE DURING APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DECELERATE BACK TO THE INTENDED SPEED. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 55,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH IN RAINY CONDITIONS, THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE SKIDS. THE VEHICLE ALSO SKIDS WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT NEEDED AN UPDATED PROGRAM IN ITS COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY PERFORMED THE UPGRADE, BUT THE FAILURE IS STILL PRESENT. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY REFUSED TO MAKE ANY OTHER TYPES OF REPAIR. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

BOUGHT NEW COOPER 235/60R16 CS4 TOURING 100V TIRES ON 9/9/08. IN MAY 09 I NOTICED AN UNEVEN "BUMPING" FROM THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND TWO TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE STEEL BELT. I NOTICED A RECALL FOR ANOTHER COOPER TIRE, BUT NOT THIS ONE. I NOW HAVE TWO NEW TIRES BUT I AM STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE TWO ORIGINAL TIRES THAT WERE PURCHASED IN 9/09/08. FROM SEPTEMBER 08 TO MAY28, 09 I ONLY PUT ON 1,576 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, MOSTLY AROUND TOWN. I FEAR IF I HAD CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE ORIGINAL TIRES THEY MAY HAVE SEPARATED AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR ROLLOVER OF MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS TIRE SEPARATING? DO I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE ORIGINAL TWO TIRES THAT ARE STILL ON THE VEHICLE? NOTE: THE DESCRIPTION ON MY BILL DESCRIBES THE TIRES AS CS4 TOURING. I COULD NOT FIND THAT EXACT MATCH IN THE TIRE DESCRIPTION FIELD. *TR

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS THE THIRD OCCASION THAT THE BRAKES ON MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAVE FAILED. SO FAR ALL THREE OF THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO GRADUALLY BRAKE FROM A SPEED OF AROUND 35 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDDLE TRAVELS ALL THE WAY DOWN AS IF THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE AND THE CAR KEEPS ON GOING. THE ONLY WAY THAT I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A SKIDDING HALT WAS BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER. I HAVE HAD THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP INSPECT THE AUTO BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THE BRAKES NOT TO WORK. IT'S A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

1/6/09 WHILE DRIVING THE TUSCON BEGAN TO FEEL HESITANT WITH SLOW ACCELERATION AND STALLED WHILE I WAS TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC AND MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. TOW WAS REQUIRED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TPS SENSOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. MILEAGE WAS 50209. I PURCHASED MY TUSCON NEW IN 9/2005 AND SINCE 12/05 I HAD THE CAR IN THE DEALER FOR MALFUNCTION LIGHT SIX TIMES. ON 4/26/2009 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE THE TUSCAN BEGAN TO OPERATE IN THE SAME MANNER AS IN 1/09 , AND THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE TUSCON STALLED AND CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS TOWED TO A HOTEL, AND THE NEXT DAY TOWED AGAIN TO A NJ DEALER WHERE THE SENSOR ASSY-AIR FLOW AND SENSOR ASSY OXYGEN LH WERE REPLACED. MILEAGE 53401. I DROVE 150 MILES TO HOME, AND THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY REGULAR DEALER SAID THE CODE WAS FOUND FOR CYLINDER # 5 MISFIRE, E NGIRE NOT MISFIRING AT THIS TIME . I CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI CONSUMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND REPORTED ALL OF THE ABOVE TO THEM (THREE CALLS WERE MADE) I WAS TOLD I WOULD HEAR BACK FROM THEM LAST NIGHT, BUT HAVE NOT. I TRAVEL ON HIGH SPEED/TRAFFIC ROADWAYS OFTEN AND NOW I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS, DRIVERS/PASSENGERS IN OTHER CARS AND MY OWN. I AM I TO KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL AGAIN, AND IF I AM AWARE OF A CHANGE IN IT'S OPERATION HOW I CAN FEEL SAFE NOT KNOWING IF I WILL BE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. *TR

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED ON MAY 2005 AND NOW DEC 2008 THE TIRES ARE ALL WORN OUT, THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS TO BE DONE. THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. ONLY AT 36,000 MILES??? THIS IS CRAP/.#$$%^^ *TR

HAVE HAD VEHICLE INTO DEALER MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS COMPLAINING OF NO START ISSUE. ONCE VEHICLE IS JUMPED IT IS FINE FOR AWHILE. BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ALWAYS SEEM TO TEST GOOD AND NO CODES ARE FOUND. I HAD TO GO BUY A PORTABLE JUMPER UNIT TO CARRY AS THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND IF IT SITS MORE THAN A FEW DAYS, IT WILL NOT START AND IS DEAD. DEALER STATES THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE. BOUGHT NEW IN 2005 AND HAS HAPPENED OVER 35 TIMES SINCE NEW. *TR

THE CD PLAYER DON'T WORK THE REAR TIRES ARE WORN OUT TO THE POINT THEY HAVE NO TREAD AT ALL AND I HAVE JUST 19000 MILES AND THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE SAY THAT MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS IS ON A 2005 HYUNDAI TUSCON THE TIRES ARE BF GOODRICH THIS TIRE COMPANY AND HYUNDAI COMPANY SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT BECAUSE THIS IS WRONG. *TR

BEGINNING AT APPROXIMATELY 20K MILES THE ENGINE STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. USUALLY OCCURS FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVING THEN IT IS LESS PREVALENT. STALLING OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP BUT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEED. VEHICLE NOW HAS 85K MILES ON IT AND PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. HAS BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT NO "CODES" ARE SET AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM (SOMETHING ABOUT MANUFACTURER WILL NOT "ALLOW" THEM TO PERFORM EXTENDED DRIVING TO DUPLICATE FAILURE CONDITIONS). ON A FEW OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS WHERE ACCIDENTS WERE NARROWLY AVOIDED. WE NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR DUE TO THIS STALLING. *TR

MY WIFE AND I OWN A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER 20,000 MILES WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES AS THE TREADS WERE WORN ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER 2006. WE PURCHASED TIRES WITH A 60,000 MILE TREAD WARRANTY AND OBTAINED AN ALIGNMENT. IN APRIL 2008, WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO EXTREME TREADWARE. THE DRIVER'S TIRE ON THE INSIDE WAS AT 0 WHILE THE REST WERE AROUND 4. MY WIFE COULD HAD SUFFERED A TIRE BLOWOUT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT SOME HYUNDAIS REQUIRE ADDITIONAL BOLTS TO GET THE CAMBER WITHIN MANUFACTURERS SPECS,. BIT THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THAT A WARRANTY ISSUE. THIS IS A MATTER THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS IF A VEHICLE CAN NOT BE ALIGNED. THE TIRES WORE EXTREMELY QUICKLY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE WERE FORCED TO HAVE THESE PARTS PUT INTO THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT SAFE. I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER. HYUNDAI IS PUTTING CARS OUT THERE THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THERE OWN SPECS, CHEW THROUGH TIRES AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS DUE TO TIRE BLOWOUTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST STALLS, LOOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. RESULTING IN MY DAUGHTER REARENDING ANOTHER CAR AND THAT CAR HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT AND THAT DRIVER SUING MY INSURANCE. AFTER BEING IN THE BODY SHOP FOR A MONTH, I PICKED THE CAR UP FRIDAY APRIL 25 THE CAR STALLED THREE TIMES. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER DOUGLAS ISUZU, IN SANTA ANA CALIF. ON SATURDAY APRIL 26 AND IT STALLED AGAIN GETTING OFF THE 55 FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD ON THE OFFRAMP. *TR

INCORRECT OIL DIPSTICK INSTALLED ON 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON GL, 2WD,2.0L,AUTO. OWNERS MANUAL CALLS FOR 4.23 QUARTS, THIS WILL RESULT IN AN OVERFILL OF ABOUT 1/2 INCH OVER THE FULL MARK. OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY HIGHLIGHTS IN BOLD LETTERS NOT TO OVERFILL AS ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT. AN OIL FILL TO THE FULL LINE RESULTS IN LESS THAN SPECIFIED OIL QUANTITY. DEALER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND HAS CALLED TECH LINE AND HAS GOTTEN GUIDANCE TO CONTINUE TO PUT 4.23 QUARTS IN AND LET THE DIPSTICK READ OVER FULL. NO FIX IS OFFERED. HYUNDER CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, CASE#3249498 AND HAS PROVIDED NO RESOLUTION. A SCENARIO IS THAT A DIPSTICK READING OF LOW WOULD ACTUALLY BE 1/2 QUART BELOW THE LOW READING POSSIBLY CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE OR FIRE. A CORRECT DIPSTICK NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED TO INDICATE PROPER OIL LEVEL. PROBLEM SINCE NEW. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON ON 2/7/07 FOR WHICH THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AT FAULT AS THEY WERE LIED TO BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS AFTER OWNING THE CAR IT WOULD JUST DIE ANYWHERE AND AT ANYTIME. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES TO ONLY GET LITTLE ASSISTANCE AND A FEW REPAIR ATTEMPTS WITHOUT SUCCESS. IT DIED 5 SEPARATE TIMES ON THE 14 FREEWAY IN THE EVENING AFTER PICKING UP MY BOYS IN ROSAMOND AND HAD 5 NEAR FATAL ACCIDENTS WHICH I DOCUMENTED WHERE I WAS AND THE TIME AND DATE. I HAVE A LOG OF ALL THE TIMED AND I AM UPSET THAT IN 7 MONTHS THE CAR IS STILL ALLOWED TO BE ON THE ROAD. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO TAKE IT BACK KNOWING THERE IS A PROBLEM AND I AM FURIOUS. ALL I WANTED WAS A DRIVABLE CAR AND BE FREE FROM WORRIES. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY.

IN 5 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS 2 YEAR OLD CAR I HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED IT THE CAR STARTED DYING ON ME FOR NO REASON/ AFTER I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AT DEALER A FEW WEEKS LATER THEY FIXED IT SOMEWHAT AS THEY CLAIMED THE AIR FILTER HOSE WAS LOOSE AND CAUSED THE PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DIE. SO I BROUGHT IT AGAIN TO DEALER, AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THEN I TOOK IT HOME AND IT DIED EVERY FEW DAYS ON THE FREEWAY , ON STREET, AND MAKING TURNS LEFT OR RIGHT OR IDLING AT A STOP SIGN. THE LAST TIME ON 6/28 I BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AS IT HAD DIED 7 TIMES ON 6/27. I LEFT IT AND APPARENTLY ON 6/29 IT WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI FOR A FEW HOURS. THEN I RECEIVED A CALL AFTER 5 PM THAT IT WAS READY. I CALLED BACK AND SAID I WAS NOT COMING TO GET IT UNTIL IT WAS TESTED FURTHER. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND CLAIMED CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY GAS, THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH IT , AND WE WILL BE CANCELING THE RENTAL ON SATURDAY. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A MANAGER, AND HE AGREED WITH ME. HOWEVER, THE CAR NEVER WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL 7/5 WHEN I CAME TO GET IT AS I CALLED ON IT SINCE THEY NEVER CALLED ME. IT WAS STILL EMPTY ON GAS, THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SPIDER WEBS, AND NO MILES WERE REALLY PUT ON IT FOR TESTING. 3 DAYS LATER ON 7/8 THE CAR DIED ON MY WAY TO THE KIDS. HERE WHAT IRRITATED ME OFF THE MOST AT 6:32 PM ON THE 14 FREEWAY I WAS HEADED HOME GOING 65-70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR DIED WITH A SEMI-TRUCK BEHIND ME AND I W

25 PROBLEMS LATER FROM PURCHASING A 2005 HYUNDAI TUSCAN ON 1/2/05 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I COULD GET INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT AN HYUNDAI DIDN'T CARE. I HAVE WRITTEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS , SPOKEN TO A SUPERVISOR, 1 CASE MANAGER, AND 3 CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES FROM NHTSA AND ALL I GOT WERE EMPTY PROMISES. ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ESPY SYSTEM-PULSATING BRAKES, LOSING POWER, GAS PEDAL LOCKED, AND SWAYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON THE HIGHWAY/STREET WAS NO JOKE. FOR THIS NOT TO OCCUR I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON IF NOT IT HAPPENED EVERY HALF AND HOUR. NOW HOW WOULD YOU LIKE AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND YOU WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING? ELECTRONICALLY PROBLEMS-REMOTE CONTROL SOMETIMES WORKED, DOORS OPENED/CLOSED B THEMSELVES, DOORS GOT STUCK, MANUALLY OPENING DOOR IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS DYING, DOORS LOCKED FROM INSIDE I HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THE WINDOW TWICE, THE CAR HAS BEEN REPROGRAM MORE TIMES THEN ANYTHING, I HAD 3 MULTI POINT INSPECTIONS, RECALL 079-REMOVE-REPLACED AIR BAG CONTROL, RECALL 068 ESPY-HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HECU, RECALL JANUARY 2006-ESPY_ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM, RECALL 071 JULY 06, 2005 PARKING BRAKES, RECALL 921 TUSCAN OWNERS MANUAL, RECALL 068-8/5/06.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 10/05 AND HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH UNTIL RECENTLY. GOT A CARD IN THE MAIL FOR A FREE 34 POINT INSPECTION FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND DECIDED ON APRIL 5, 2007 TO USE IT. DURING INSPECTION NOTHING WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. THEN THIS WEEK ON MAY 8, 2007 THE CHECK ENGINE"LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR CHECK. I WAS ADVISED THAT SOME VALVE WAS BAD AND THEY REPLACED IT, BUT BY THE WAY, YOU NEED 4 NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT RIGHT AWAY. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN I HAD NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE, HYDROPLANING. I FELT VERY UNSAFE AND GLANCED AT MY TIRES. STRANGE ENOUGH, ALL 4 TIRES WERE EVENLY WORN OUT AND NEAR COMPLETELY BALD. DID I MENTION THAT I ONLY HAD 27,000 MILES ON THEM ,AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ANYWHERE BUT REGULAR STREETS. BUT NOT BEING THE TIRE EXPERT I TOOK THE DEALERSHIP AT THEIR WORD AND ASSUMED ALL WAS WELL. SO, A BIT ANNOYED ON MAY 8,2007 I DECIDED TO LOOK UP MY WARRANTY PAPERWORK. HOW IRONIC! THERE WERE TWO PAMPHLETS FOR TIRES IN MY LITTLE HANDY LITTLE HYUNDAI OWNER'S PACK. ONE FOR THESE GREAT 60,000 MILE GOOD YEAR TIRES,, AND THEN THE OTHER FOR THE HANKOOK, KUMHO TIRES THAT JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE ONLY A 24,000 MILE WARRANTY, AND HAPPENED TO BE THE ONES THAT HAD APPARENTLY BEEN PUT ON MY CAR. SO, NOT ONLY LOSING A CUSTOMER TO A SNEAKY BAIT AND SWITCH TACTIC DURING THE SALE OF THE LX MODEL TUCSON, THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TIRE MAKER PUT MY SAFETY AT RISK AND TRIED TO BLAME IT ON A POOR ALIGNMENT. I MAY BE
