2010 Hyundai Tucson

Defect. Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata Hybrid, 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, Veloster, 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe, Santa Fe, 2014-2015 Equus, 2010-2012 Veracruz, 2010-2013 Tucson, 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell, and 2013 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.

Risk. An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the ABS fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024 through October 11, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 251.

Defect. Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.

Risk. Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

Defect. HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 TUCSON VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 27, 2010, THROUGH APRIL 17, 2010 FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT," FOR THE PHOTOMETRY REQUIREMENTS OF THE REAR REFLECTOR ASSEMBLIES INSTALLED IN THE REAR BUMPERS.

Risk. THIS COULD LEAD TO REDUCED VISIBILITY OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR REFLECTOR ASSEMBLIES, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JUNE 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151.

Defect. HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 TUCSON VEHICLES. PROPERLY SEATED ADULT RIGHT FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS WEIGHING OVER APPROXIMATELY 240 POUNDS CAUSE THE PASSIVE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (PODS) MODULE PROGRAM TO ILLUMINATE THE "AIR BAG" WARNING LAMP.

Risk. IF "AIR BAG" WARNING LAMP IS ILLUMINATED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY IF A CRASH OF SUFFICIENT FORCE TO REQUIRE FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IS EXPERIENCED, AND WILL NOT BE DEACTIVATED IF A CHILD IS SEATED IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEATING POSITION, WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A CHILD FRONT PASSENGER.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE PODS MODULE FREE OF CHARGE. HYUNDAI ANTICIPATES OWNERS NOTIFICATION BEGAN BY TELEPHONE ON FEBRUARY 15 2010 AND THE NOTIFICATION WAS MAILED ON MARCH 5, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Tucson. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while her significant other was driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal burning odor coming from under the passenger’s side dashboard. Upon further inspection, there was a small fire starting. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder of the road, and the fire was extinguished using his hand and water. The contact stated that while her significant other was driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal burning odor coming from inside the vehicle. The driver pulled over to the shoulder of the road, and there was a fire coming from underneath the driver’s side seat. The driver sustained burns on both hands and severe mental trauma. The contact sustained severe mental distress; however, medical attention was not sought. The vehicle was left at the location for further investigations. Several local dealers were contacted, including Jeff Wyler Hyundai of Colerain (8810 Colerain Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45251). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

The passenger seat airbag system warning light is on and stays on, there is an active recall but my vin is not yet included

While driving under normal conditions, the panoramic sunroof glass suddenly shattered without warning. There was no impact from road debris, no prior cracking, and no abnormal use of the sunroof. The failure occurred spontaneously and created a safety hazard due to falling glass and the risk of driver distraction or injury. This vehicle is equipped with the factory panoramic roof that has been the subject of a prior class action lawsuit and Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin 19-BD-007H (Panoramic Roof Moving Glass Warranty Extension, code TXXE). The failure I experienced is consistent with the known defect described in that settlement and TSB. Hyundai extended coverage for this defect to 10 years or 120,000 miles; however, Hyundai has denied assistance because the time limit has expired, even though the mileage remains within the coverage threshold. Given the known defect and safety implications, this failure should be addressed regardless of warranty expiration. This issue presents a safety concern due to sudden glass shattering while driving and should be investigated further.

This has been an ongoing problem since I last reported this on February 16, 2025. There’s a clicking noise under my tires and then I can’t stop, my brakes grind and my pedal grinds… all my ABS lights then come on… this has been going on too long!! Since April 20, 2025…. My brakes are GRINDING SERIOUSLY and PROHIBITING me to fully stop at times. I’ve had several near misses… I want them fixed now!! My car is no longer safe!!! Still doing it today @ 12:18pm with mileage of 130,605… please help!

On January 26, 2024, at AutoNation, I was requested to bring my 2010 Hyundai Tucson in to replace a part involving my ‘brakes.’ I’m the original owner, since 2021 my brakes would grind at least twice weekly and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to stop! Then, the AntiLock Brake System lights would just pop up out of nowhere and come on, then my brakes would work. So, I was told I needed a new switch. AutoNation never let me explain any of this, they cut me off anytime I tried to explain it. So, last January 2024, the switch was fixed. I’d prefer NOT to go back there again!! It hasn’t been inspected by anyone. NHTSA may inspect it as soon as you would like. Except now, my ABS lights are basically stuck on. This started back again June 2024. No grinding of my brakes now, I just want them fixed properly.

UNKNOWN. Since I purchase this vehicle in 2010, the backup camera does not always work. I took it in to the dealership and they stated that in order to diagnose it, it must happen while I am there. At this time, the backup camera only works sometimes and it is not safe to back up. Is there a manufacturer recall?

The engine ran out of oil completely with no leaks no nothing and never had a light come on to show low oil or engine issues. It went from running great to engine knocking with no warning

The car dies, unknown, mechanics don't know! It's in the wires somewhere, the backup camera doesn't work, the radio doesn't work! Even with the the fuse in and everything working the backup camera still doesn't work, and as soon as you shut the car off it doesn't start up again! Nothing was replaced it's still everything from the factory so you tell me what's wrong!!

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the dealer had repaired the vehicle under Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin Number: 21-01-023H-3 (Engine Monitoring Logic Update). However, two months later, the vehicle stalled while at a complete stop. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was pushed to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the Engine Monitoring Logic had failed and an unknown repair needed to be completed. The dealer sent a diagnostic report to the manufacturer who informed the dealer that they would cover half of the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact contacted the manufacturer but was unable to speak to a live agent. The failure mileage was approximately 168,000.

Door actuators are not working so the locks only work on two of the five doors. Safety and security of the passengers is at risk.

Every morning the car has to have a jump! We bought a battery! That didn't help! We took it to the shop, they couldn't figure it out but said it was something to do with the electrical but didn't know what, so we started digging on our own and you have to take the fuse out to the radio for the car to start! So after spending ALL that money that's what it is, we can't listen to music to start our every morning but now it is getting worse, something else is draining the battery! And no one knows what!

THE HOOD FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING

Yesterday, my wife car, suddenly started to sharply to the right, when her hold on steering wheel relaxed. I tested it. It is not an alignment problem. It is a sudden and obvious taking over of the steering by the car. I took it to my mechanic. He told me that he and none of his certified mechanics have ever seen this problem, and did not know what was wrong and I should contact Hyundai as perhaps there was a recall or service bulletin on this condition. I did that, but was told that I would have to bring it there to be diagnosed. My concern is not so much for my car. I don't know if I want to spend dealership type money to fix the car. My concern is the safety of others. My wife was traveling about 20 mph when this happened, and was able to avid hitting another car. If it happened when she was traveling 60 mph on a four lane highway, it would have been a major disaster. I felt that I needed to bring the problem to your attention, to possibly protect others. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED THE PART NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WAS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE.

OIL PUMP WENT OUT AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE

SINCE I GOT THIS VEHICLE THE GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE BACKLIGHT SWITCH. IT IS A BIG HASSLE TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE BACKLIGHT SWITCH LAST TWO TO THREE YEARS. I GOT THE RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE BACKLIGHT SWITCH IN 2012, BUT WHY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED? THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CHARGING ME EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM. I ALMOST GOT KILL BY THE TRAIN BECAUSE OF THIS BACKLIGHT SWITCH PROBLEM. I GOT STUCK A FEET AWAY FROM THE RAIL TRACKS TWO WEEKS AGO, THERE WAS A CAR AT FRONT OF ME AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT TO REVERSE. THE CAR DECIDED TO MOVE AT THE LAST MINUTE AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE CONTENTION BAR WAS OVER MY WINDSHIELD SO I COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD AND I COULDN'T MOVE BACKWARDS BECAUSE THE GEAR SHIFT WASN'T MOVING. I HAVE BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR FIVE TIMES AND THE LAST TWO TIMES, THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR THERE, BUT THEY HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED IT. THEY HAVEN'T TOLD ME THE REASON WHY, BUT I JUST FOUND IT OUT. IT IS BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. DRIVING A CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM ONCE YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE GEAR SHIFT WON'T WORK. NEITHER IN CASE YOU HAVE TO PARK OR MAKE A TURN. PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE ONCE I PARK, THE GEAR SHIFT DOESN'T MOVE DOWN, SO I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF UP TO THREE TIMES AND WAIT EACH TIME TWO TO THREE MINUTES UNTIL THE ENGINE RES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKING SYSTEM STARTED TO MALFUNCTION WITH THE REAR HATCH AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR NOT OPENING WITH THE REMOTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD BE THE ACTUATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED THREE TIMES ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2019 AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 213,000.

I HEARD A CLUNK UPON TURNING RIGHT, EXITING A PARKING LOT. THE REAR END OF THE CAR STARTED TO SWAY. FEARING A BLOWN TIRE, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, ONLY TO FIND THE LEFT REAR WHEEL PITCHED AT A RATHER UNHEALTHY ANGLE. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WAS RUSTED OUT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CERTAIN HYUNDAI MODELS. ALTHOUGH OUT OF WARRANTY, IT SEEMS LIKE HYUNDAI SHOULD BE WILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF RUST AND STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE FUEL PUDDLES UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE GREW LARGER EACH WEEK. THE CONTACT CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-855-371-9460, BUT WAS NOT ASSISTED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,448. *JS *LN *JS

I FIRST NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY SUV. I PULLED INTO A STORE PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO PARK. MY MAIN BRAKES FAILED. I THEN TRIED USING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT TOO FAILED. WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING THROUGH THE VENTS SO I TURNED THEM AWAY FROM ME AND TRIED SHIFTING TO PARK WITH NO SUCCESS. I THEN PRESSED THE MAIN BRAKE AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO PARK. THEN SOMEONE IN THE PARKING LOT YELLED, "YOUR CAR'S ON FIRE! GET OUT!" I GRABBED MY KEYS, CELL PHONE AND WORK BADGE AND AS I WAS GETTING OUT, BLACK SMOKE BEGAN FILLING THE CABIN. STORE EMPLOYEES TRIED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WITH NO SUCCESS. WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE FRONT HALF OF THE SUV WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES! I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL NOR THE REASON FOR THE ENGINE TO CATCH FIRE! I HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS FOR VIEWING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WAS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE TRAVELED UPHILL AND THE FRONT WHEELS MOVED, BUT THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 172,000.

WHEN DRIVING AND OCCASIONALLY HIT A BUMP THE ICON (SLIPPERY) APPEARS ON THE DASH AND LATER WHEN YOU STOP TO BACK UP TO PARK THE GEARS GET STUCK AND YOU CAN'T MOVE IT TO THE GEAR TO BACKUP. SINCE THIS CAR HAS STICK SHIFT AND AUTOMATIC DRIVING FEATURES YOU HAVE TO KEEP SHIFTING THE YEARS BACK AND FORTH UNTIL IT JUMPS BACK INTO REVERSE. THIS HAPPENS TO FREQUENTLY.

THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEM ON THE DOORS STARTED CLICKING, WHEN I STOPPED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE OTHER DOORS TO LOCK, BUT THE RIGHT DOOR STOPPED WORKING. ALSO THE OVERHEAD NIGHT LIGHT IS NO WORKING. THE CAR ISTOTALLY DARK AT NIGHT WHEN I OPEN THE DOORS.

2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLES STALLING FOR A FEW SECONDS IN LOWER GEARS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. *LD UPDATED 11/22/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH AND MAKING A TURN THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT WARNING IN ADDITION, WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 300. UPDATED 02/21/17*LJ CONSUMER STATES WHEN DRIVING INTERM HAPPENS ON CITY DRIVING FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND JUST REVS AND OR WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS. UPDATED 7/10/18*JB *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND DOWN HILL BRAKE CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK FROM THE DRIVE POSITION. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GEAR SHIFTER SHIFTED OUT OF THE DRIVE POSITION INTO THE PARK POSITION INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V113000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS NOT ADDRESSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,692.

WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN TRYING TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AND ESSENTIALLY PUTS THE VEHICLE INTO A COAST. TAPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOTHING TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. HOWEVER, AFTER A FEW SECONDS OR MORE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL FINALLY ENGAGE. IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED THIS WILL LURCH THE VEHICLE FORWARD. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE THIS COULD POTENTIAL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY RAMMING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF 'CLOSE CALLS'. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE ENGINE REVVING THAT I CAN SUPPLY, BUT THE FILE SIZES ARE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 5000 MILES FOR A SIMILAR SITUATION. THE PROBLEM OCCURRENCE DIMINISHED, BUT OVER THE YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE ALWAYS REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER WHEN TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION OR OFFER ANY SOLUTION. THEY HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED WITH THE VIDEOS. THE EXACT CAUSE OF THIS IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RPM GAUGE INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO DIFFERENT GEARS WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 3,2014, TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER THREE TIMES WITHIN THAT MONTH FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN WHICH EACH TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE (SO WE THOUGHT). ON DECEMBER 11,2014 A LIL OVER TWO MONTHS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AGAIN? TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER TODAY FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALSO TO CHECK FRONT SUSPENSION, THE DRIVE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS FELT VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE TO ME AND WITH IT BEING THE WINTER MONTHS MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS IS A MUST! VERY UNSATISFIED OWNER OF THE 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON, HAVE NOT AS OF YET GOTTEN A SECURE OR COMFORTABLE DRIVE OUT OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE, FAR MORE THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. *TR

I WAS JUST DRIVING NORMAL SPEED AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED ME MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING IS FAULTY. THEY ARE SAYING IT ISN'T UNDER MY WARRANTY, WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2010 I WAS TOLD I HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR THE FIRST 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DX TESTING AND THE CLOCK SPRING AND INSTALLATION FOR A PART THAT IS OUT OF MY CONTROL OF BEING FAULTY, THAT ISN'T FAIR AND THE WARRANTY YOU ARE SAYING IS VERY MISLEADING. *TR

ON 6/14 WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR DEPLOYED THERE WASN'T ANY DAMAGE TO MY CAR. TOOK IT IN TO CARMAX WAS TOLD IT DETECTED A CRASH BUT NO DAMAGE THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. ELGIN HYUNDAI LOOKED AT IT AND EXPLAINED IT HAD IMPACT DAMAGE BUT THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION WHILE EITHER BRAKING OR SLOWLY ATTEMPTING TO PARK. DURING EACH INCIDENT THE AUTO ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AUTO FROM PROCEEDING FORWARD EVEN WITH BOTH FEET HEAVILY APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. EACH TIME I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO MANEUVER TO AVOID HITTING ANY PEDESTRIANS IN MY PATH AND FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO HUMAN INJURIES DURING ANY OF THESE OCCASIONS. HOWEVER, TWO OF THE INCIDENTS DID RESULT IN A COLLISION. THE FIRST WAS A MINOR REAR END CRASH RESULTING FROM THE INABILITY TO STOP THE AUTO WHEN IT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED WHILE BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT. THE LAST INCIDENT RESULTED IN EXPENSIVE AUTO DAMAGE WHEN THE AUTO UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED WHILE SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT ALONG THE STREET AND CAUSING THE AUTO TO JUMP THE CURB. TO AVOID HITTING PEDESTRIANS WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK OR CRASHING INTO A STOREFRONT, I WAS FORCED TO COLLIDE INTO A TELEPHONE POLE TO STOP THE AUTO RESULTING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF FRONT END DAMAGE. *TR

MY PROBLEM WITH THIS TUCSON IS IN REGARDS OF "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION". IT SPORADICALLY, ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS WE EXPERIENCE "SUA" FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER AND ACCELERATION EVERY TIME IT'S DRIVEN. EX: DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70MPH, IT WILL LUNGE AND THE TACHOMETER WILL RACE AND SUDDENLY LOSES POWER DOWN TO 35MPH. THEN HAS A LAG ACCELERATING AFTERWARDS. THIS IS CONSISTENT THROUGH OUT THE DAY SINCE I COMMUTE A LOT. OTHER ISSUES, WHEN ENGINE ON IDLE IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND FROM THEIR DIAGNOSIS, THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MALFUNCTION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND DOING RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THESE ISSUES WITH NUMEROUS TUCSON OWNERS. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY AS WE NOW HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS ON THE FREEWAY. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR SAFETY AND NOW ARE STARTING TO QUESTION OUR SAFETY DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

OVER THE LAST WEEK, MY CAR HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN PARK ON 3 OCCASIONS. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SWITCH. APPARENTLY, HYUNDAI AND KIA HAVE RECALLED 1.9M CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT THE HYUNDAI TUCSON IS ONLY RECALLED UP TO YEAR 2009. MINE IS A 2010 AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AS THE CAR MIGHT NOT COME OUT OF CRUISE IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. ALL IT HAS CAUSED ME SO FAR IS FRUSTRATION AND PANIC. *TR

SEE OID 10434752. SAME ISSUE. HAD PROBLEMS GETTING VEHICLE INTO PARK. THAT ISSUE APPEARS RESOLVED. HOWEVER, ONE DAY THE STEREO WAS STAYING ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. TWO DAYS LATER, THERE WAS NO AUDIO FROM THE STEREO, GPS OR BLUETOOTH. THEY ALL APPEAR TO BE WORKING (RADIO CHANGES STATIONS/VOLUME, GPS OPERATES NORMALLY AND I CAN MAKE CALLS USING BLUETOOTH), THERE IS JUST NO AUDIO OUTPUT. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY DID NOT DO ANY DIAGNOSTICS ASIDE FROM TURNING ON THE STEREO BEFORE TELLING ME THE STEREO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, FACTORY OR EXTENDED. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME OTHER UNUSUAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES LIKE THE TURN SIGNAL REMAINING ON AFTER THE LEVER WENT BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND THERE BEING A DELAY OR COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. *TR

FOR AWHILE NOTICED OCCASIONAL BUT UNUSUAL INCREASE IN RPM'S. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL INCIDENT ON HIGHWAY WHEN CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE, AND LURCHED FORWARD AS IF WE HIT SOMETHING. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF ROAD, AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANY DAMAGE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHEN THEY "RESET" SOMETHING AND SAID THE CAR WAS GOOD. PROBLEMS WITH RPM'S HAVE CONTINUED, AND TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP 4 MORE TIMES WITH IDENTICAL FAULTS. AT ONE POINT THEY REPLACED A SOLENOID, WHICH APPEARED TO FIX IT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. WERE TOLD THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE FAULTS, CAR IS FINE, AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION LEARNS YOUR PATTERNS AND SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN CONFUSED. I'M EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS. IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD, THAT WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. IT'S MY WIFE'S PRIMARY VEHICLE AND I FEAR FOR HER SAFETY. HAVE READ ONLINE, AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. THE RADIO/GPS LOST ITS AUDIO, THE MANUFACTURE WILL NOT AID ME IN GETTING IT REPAIRED. *TR

2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON LTD FWD - APPROX 14,000 MILES. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVER WAS PARKING THE CAR. DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND CAR LURCHED FORWARD, STOPPING ONLY WHEN IT HIT A TREE. BODY WORK BEING DONE NOW AND THEN OFF TO DEALERSHIP FOR ANALYSIS OF BRAKES AND SENSORS. *TT

AFTER HAVING A SERVICE ON MY 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON, 2 DAYS LATER THE ESC INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DBC INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE SHIFTER WAS HARD TO PUT INTO GEAR. TOOK IT IN AND THEY CHANGED THE SHIFTER. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME TWO LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME WHEN YOU PRESSED ON THE GAS THE RPM WOULD SHOOT UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE, AND THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND THE MAP SENSOR WAS CHANGED. WHEN I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FIXED I CAME IN TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE BLED, AFTER A FEW DAYS THE CAR WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME. 4 WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, AND THE CAR WAS TOWED, ANOTHER PART WAS CHANGED AGAIN. I KNOW THAT THE SHOP I AM WORKING WITH IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR IS SCARY TO DRIVE. AT ANY TIME THE ESC AND DBC LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND THE BRAKES WILL LOCK, AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS THE RMP WILL SHOOT UP AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE. TWICE NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND I DO GOOD TO PULL OVER BEFORE SOMEONE HITS ME. *TR
