MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON WAS RECALLED FOR RUST/CORROSION PROBLEM ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE SUBFRAME. THE SERVICE WORK WAS DONE IN NOVEMBER, 2015 BY MY HYUNDAI DEALER IN PLYMOUTH, MA. IT WAS INSPECTED AGAIN APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER AND DETERMINED THAT IT NEEDED ADDITIONAL PREVENTATIVE RUST RECALL SERVICE WORK TO BE DONE. HYUNDAI MOTORS OF AMERICA ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AND ANOTHER INSPECTION AND CONCLUDED THAT THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR MORE RUST PROBLEMS THAT HAD BECOME SYSTEMIC AND WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AS THE RUST CONTINUES TO SPREAD OVER TIME. THIS DETERMINATION CAME IN FEBRUARY, 2016. MY CAR ONLY HAS 82,000 MILES AND I WAS HOPING TO KEEP THE CAR FOR SOME TIME LONGER BUT NOW I MAY NOT HAVE THAT OPTION AND MAY NOT QUALIFY FOR SAFETY INSPECTIONS IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE MANY EMAILS THAT WERE EXCHANGED WITH MY HYUNDAI DEALER RELATING TO THIS PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER AND HYUNDAI CORPORATION MADE ME WAIT ALMOST 3 MONTHS WITH CONTINUOUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER WHILE THIS ISSUE WAS BEING PROCESSED. VERY UPSET WITH HYUNDAI MOTORS OF AMERICA AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO CO-OPERATE AND PREVENT A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A SAFETY PROBLEM. I WILL NO LONGER BE A HYUNDAI CUSTOMER AFTER THIS ORDEAL.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I OPENED THE REAR HATCH. THE HINGES SUDDENLY DISINTEGRATED, BUSTED RIGHT OFF. THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT STRIKING ME. THE ONLY WAY IT WAS BEING HELD UP AND KEPT FROM FALLING TO THE GROUND, WAS BY ITS SHOCKS THAT KEEP WINDOW UP WHEN OPENED. I SEE THAT ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS MATTER FROM VARIOUS TIMES. IS THERE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? *TR
Aug 06, 2012
I WENT TO GO OPEN THE GLASS DOOR ON THE HATCH, AND ONE OF THE PLASTIC HINGES COMPLETELY BROKE. THE WINDOW WAS JUST HANGING CROOKED. IT TOOK SOME LABOR TO ACTUALLY GET IT BACK INTO PLACE. *TT

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
Jul 05, 2010
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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO VISION HYUNDAI WEBSTER (755 RIDGE RD, WEBSTER, NY 14580, (585) 787-2111) FOR AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN FOR CORROSION ON THE REAR SUBFRAME.

FRONT RIGHT CONTROL ARM BROKE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 40 MPH, CAR SWERVED OFF THE ROAD. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. MECHANIC STATED IT BROKE DUE TO RUST AND ROT. BOTH FRONT CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED. CAR HAS 115K MILES. OTHER COMPLAINTS FOUND FOR SAME ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE NO RECALL FOR THIS. IF TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT COULD OF BEEN A MUCH WORSE ACCIDENT. *TR

REAR SUBFRAME OF THE CAR IS VERY ROTTEN .
Feb 10, 2019
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!!

Dec 10, 2018
THE HEADLIGHT LENSES HAVE NOT JUST OXIDIZED AS IS COMMON WITH VEHICLES THAT HAVE PLASTIC LENSES. THE MATERIAL ACTUALLY HAS HAIRLINE CRACKS RUNNING THROUGHOUT. THAT DEFECT, COUPLED WITH THE OXIDATION THAT NO AMOUNT OF POLISHING HAS BEEN ABLE TO REMEDY MAKES THE BRIGHTNESS OF EVEN THE BEST REPLACEMENT BULBS LESS SAFE FOR NIGHTTIME OPERATION. THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI USA BOTH REFUSED TO OFFER A REMEDY. *JS
Sep 02, 2013
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHT LENS HAD BECOME DISCOLORED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

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.

TIRES

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
May 28, 2009
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
Dec 12, 2008
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

Oct 03, 2007
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 A WOMAN, AND ONE THAT DIDN'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT CARS, BUT I DID KNOW THAT IF A VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT ALL FOURS TIRES WEREN'T WORN EVENLY AND COMPLETELY BALD AFTER AN INSPECTION THAT TOOK PLACE JUST A MONTH PRIOR, YET WASN'T MENTIONED . I WAS STILL PLEASED WITH TUSCON, BUT VERY ANGRY WITH DEALERSHIP TACTICS. *AK

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.

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.

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

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.

ENGINE ON OUR 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. MANAGED TO TURN/ROLL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER OR POWER STEERING. HAD TO RESTART CAR SEVERAL TIMES AS IT WOULD STALL OUT ON ACCELERATION OR WHEN SLOWING TO TURN. PAID DEALERSHIP $209 TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS A MONTH LATER AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE EACH DAY. DEALERSHIP DID OIL CHANGE, VEHICLE INSPECTION AND REPLACED "P0444 EVAP PURGE CONTROL VALVE CONNECTOR." CLEARLY THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS THIS SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD PERSISTS. HYUNDAI HAS NO ANSWERS AND SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WE'VE READ HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE NHTSA. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING AND BLOCKED THE CENTER LANE OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY THOROUGHFARE DURING RUSH HOUR. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AT FIRST. AFTER 15 MINUTES VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AND STAYED RUNNING. THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN THE PAST - VEHICLE WILL BE TRAVELING AT SPEED AND WILL JUST SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND NOT RESTART. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A SERVICE SHOP TO BE EVALUATED. VEHICLE HAS A NEW COIL PACK, PLUGS, WIRES, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, A/C COMPRESSOR, AND TIMING BELT. VEHICLE, ONCE REPAIRED, IS GOING BE SOLD DUE TO ITS CONTINUED UNRELIABILITY AND TENDENCY TO JUST STALL AT ANY TIME AT ANY SPEED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE WINDOWS IN MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD BEEN ROLLED DOWN. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, MY DAUGHTER YELLED, "OUR WINDOW IS COMING OFF!" I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO LOOK IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR TO SEE THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL WINDOW BEING HELD ON BY JUST A SMALL STRIP OF SOME SORT OF ADHESIVE. IN LESS THAN A SECOND, THE WINDOW FLEW OFF, BEGAN PINWHEELING THROUGH THE AIR AND NARROWLY MISSED THE VEHICLE JUST BEHIND ME. EVEN THE REPAIRMAN AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED THE WINDOW FOR ME WAS SPEECHLESS WHEN I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI, AND ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHILE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR THEM TO OFFER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, I WAS MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT ASK FOR ANY DETAILS OR OFFER ANY CONCERN FOR THE POSSIBLE DAMAGE AND/OR LOSS OF LIFE THAT COULD EASILY HAVE OCCURRED HAD THAT WINDOW HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. *TR

I ALSO HAVE HAD AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WHERE THE POWER LOCKS GO ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN AND THERE IS SOMETHING RANDOMLY DRAINING THE BATTERY IF IT IS NOT DRIVEN EVERY 24-48HRS. IT APPEARS BOTH OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN APPARENT FOR MANY 2005 TUSCON OWNERS, AND HYUNDAI IS FAILING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE FACTORY ISSUES WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN MY OPINION. *TR

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.

ALTHOUGH VEHICLE PASSED EMISSIONS IN 2020, VARIOUS CHECK ENGINE CODES FOR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, OXYGEN SENSORS, MISFIRE FOR VARIOUS CYLINDERS. AFTER REPLACING INDICATED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, OXYGEN SENSORS INDICATED VIA OBD II TOOL, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR (MORE THAN ONCE), BOTH FRONT CV BOOTS, HEAD GASKET SEALS FOR BOTH CYLINDER BANKS, MORE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES APPEAR ACCORDING TO THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY ANOTHER CYLINDER MISFIRE CHECK ENGINE CODE HAS APPEARED AFTER ALL SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH OEM RECOMMENDED BRAND REPLACEMENTS (NKG PRE-GAPPED SPARK PLUGS). THE MISFIRE CODE HAS CLEARED AT THIS TIME. THE CURRENT CHECK ENGINE CODE FROM THE OBD II TOOL IS ERROR CODE FOR DRIVE TRAIN DRIVEABILITY P0420 REGARDING CATALYST SYSTEM OPERATING BELOW THRESHOLD AT BANK 1. I HAVE UTILIZED LOCAL STORE CATALYTIC CLEANER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN THE SYSTEM, WHICH HAS NOT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. 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.

I BACKED OUT AND IT JUST SPUTTERED AND THE CAR JUST CUT OUT TWICE. I JUST HAD NEW SPARKPLUGS AND SPARK PLUG WIRES PUT IN SO IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRIC TO THE MOTOR.

AFTER GOING OFF THE ROAD THE CAR MADE IMPACT WITH A TREE AT THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR CAUSING OVER $11,000 IN DAMAGES NOT ONLY TO THE OUTSIDE BUT ALSO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR WAS PUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY A 1FT, CAUSING THE ROOF AND DASHBOARD TO BUCKLE UP, AND THE FRONT END TO BOW OUTWARD TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. ADDITIONALLY THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED ALONG WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. IN THIS VEHICLE THERE ARE SEVERAL AIRBAGS, INCLUDING SIDE AND CURTAIN, NONE OF WHICH WENT OFF. UPON BEING INSPECTED BY MY INSURANCE AGENT IT WAS HIS BELIEF THAT AT LEAST THE SIDE BAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MY SEAT BELT TENSIONERS DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK EITHER. I CALLED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI EXPECTING THAT THEY WOULD OFFER TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT NEED TO BE FIXED, INSTEAD THEY ARE SENDING ME ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK THAT I NEED TO FILL OUT AND SEND BACK TO THEM THROUGH REGULAR POSTAL MAIL. WHAT MADE THINGS WORSE IS THAT THE PERSON FROM HYUNDAI THAT I SPOKE WITH KEPT REMINDING ME THROUGHOUT OUR CONVERSATION THAT IT WOULD BE A LENGTHY PROCESS AND HAVING THE CAR INSPECTED BY ANYONE WAS NOT GUARANTEED. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO BE FIXED, BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY CAN NOT WAIT FOR MONTHS AND NEITHER CAN WE, AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE INITIAL PAPERWORK. *JB

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.

LETTER TO NSTB AND MA ATTORNEY GENERAL, RE HYUNDAI UNDERBODY CORROSION ON 8/6/2015 I RECEIVED A HYUNDAI "SERVICE CAMPAIGN NOTIFICATION" ON MY 2005 TUCSON FOR "UNDER BODY CORROSION." I DID HAVE THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. ('ARRESTS' IT, THEY CLAIM, BUT NOT REMOVES IT.) BY THAT DATE I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED TWO FAILURES CAUSED BY THE CORROSION, BOTH OF WHICH I BELIEVE HAD HIGH POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS, EVEN FATAL ACCIDENTS. THE REPAIRS COST ALMOST $2,000, BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE. I AM MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUES. LUCKILY, THE FUEL TANK FALLING ONTO THE DRIVE SHAFT DID NOT RUPTURE AND EXPLODE. THE RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM FAILURE CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AN ABRUPT STOP INTO THE RIGHT CURB. HAD IT BEEN THE LEFT FRONT,, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD IT BEEN AT TURNPIKE SPEED I SUSPECT A LIKELY ROLLOVER. THE LEFT FRONT ARM WAS ALSO NEAR FAILURE. I SENT TWO EMAILS TO HYUNDAI, AND MADE A NUMBER OF CALLS, IN PART REQUESTING REPAIR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY TO TELL THEM MY CONCERN THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I ASKED THEM TO BUY IT BACK AT A FAIR PRICE. NO RESPONSE. TWICE, THEY PROMISED TO CONTACT ME IN 2 TO 5 DAYS, THEY DIDN'T, EVER.. WHEN I LATER CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM I HAD SOLD THE CAR (AT A LOSS IN VALUE) THEY JUST BRUSHED ME OFF. (TO PARAPHRASE THEM: 'IT'S NO LONGER AN ISSUE SINCE YOU NOW DON'T OWN IT'). I CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTS (REPAIR INVOICES, WITH FINDINGS, AND EMAILS IF YOU WISH). I AM REQUESTING YOU TAKE ACTION TO INVESTIGATE, AND AS NEEDED, TAKE ACTION TO ISSUE STRONGER SANCTIONS AGAINST HYUNDAI, THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL ALL THE AFFECTED CARS.

AFTER THIS HAPPENS I TAKE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND FLOOR IT MEANING TO BLOW OUT WHAT I THINK MAY BE STUCK IN THE FUEL LINE???? IT ALWAYS WORKS FOR A WHILE. THIS THING DOESN'T OCCUR FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON AND I HAVE THE CAR WELL MAINTAINED. I NOW HAVE OVER 120,000 MILES AND THE LAST TIME IT DID THIS WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THANK GOODNESS NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

MISFIRE CYLINDER #5. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SHORTLY AFTER MY MOTHER GAVE ME THE VEHICLE AT APX. 24,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS TRANSPORTED FROM THE EAST COAST HERE TO ARIZONA. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS AND STILL NO FIX, WITH MY FATHER PAYING THE BILLS, WHICH IS HARD FOR HIM BEING ON A FIXED INCOME, BUT MY SAFETY AS WELL AS HIS GRAND CHILDREN ARE PARAMOUNT. THE VEHICLE WILL QUICKLY SLOW DOWN FROM A 70 MPH SPEED TO 35MPH WITHOUT WARNING AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON (CODE P0305). I MADE A COMPLAINT ONCE BEFORE (CASE #389816). THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH NO FIX HAS ME HAVE SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF A REAR END COLLISION, WHICH SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY NOT TO HAVE. THE MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS ON JUNE 14TH THRU 15TH, 2013 AND THE PROBLEM WAS BACK ON THE MONDAY AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE ON SUNDAY, THE 16TH. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST HAPPENED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT AND OF COURSE IT'S NOW EXPIRED WILL THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WASN'T RESEARCHED DURING THAT TIME. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMMENTS WITH OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ON HYUNDAI'S FORUMS, SO IT'S NOT MY IMAGINATION. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS SO THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED? IF I COULD AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE IT WOULD SOLVE MY PROBLEM AND PASS IT TO SOMEONE ELSE, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THAT. PLEASE HELP, THANK YOU. *TR

AUG 2010 -- DRIVING ON INTERSTATE IN EXTREMELY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ENGINE STALLED, LOSING POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND GAS ACCELERATION . LIMPED TO EXIT, BARELY AVOIDING BEING REAR-ENDED BY 18-WHEELER AND BARELY GOT OFF FREEWAY BEFORE ENGINE DIED. HAD TO WAIT APPRX 1 HOUR BEFORE ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN. DROVE VERY SLOW AND CAUTIOUSLY NEXT 400 MILES HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEM. JULY 2011 -- DRIVING IN CITY, TURNED CORNER AND ENGINE STALLED EXACTLY AS IN 2010 INCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT BEFORE BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ONLY HAD TO WAIT APPRX 15 MINUTES FOR ENGINE TO START AGAIN THIS TIME. MADE IT REST OF WAY HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. FOR PAST 3 YEARS, ESP LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND WON'T GO OUT. SOMETIMES PULLING OVER, KILLING ENGINE, THEN RESTARTING MAKES THE LIGHT GO OUT, AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. *TR

MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON (2.7L V-6 4WD) HAS FOR THE LAST 1.5 YEARS HAS BEEN: 1.STALLING OUT 2. RUNNING VERY ROUGH WITH NO POWER (ESPECIALLY WHEN RAINING OR AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN) 3. CRANKS OVER BUT DOESN'T START 4. ENGINE QUITS RUNNING ON HIGHWAY (LEAVING US STRANDED ON ROUTE I-80). ALL INTERMITTENTLY! I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL PACK ASSEMBLY (6/2011). THEN IT FAILED AGAIN BUT NOT LONG ENOUGH TO GET SOMETHING DIAGNOSED, SO I DROVE IT JUST KNOWING SOMEDAY IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. FINALLY IT FAILED AGAIN (1/1/2012) THIS TIME LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET THE CODE/S FROM THE ECM. IT HAD A HARD CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE. THEN IT RAN FINE. I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND UPON REMOVAL AND INSPECTION THE SENSORS THREE WIRES WERE BARE. THE OUTER INSULATION COVERING ALL THREE WIRES WAS NOT ONLY GONE BUT THE INDIVIDUAL WIRE INSULATION WAS ALSO MISSING (ABOUT 3" OF BARE COPPER WIRE). A QUICK LOOK OF SOME WEBSITES TURNED UP PHOTOS OF FOUR OTHER CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS THAT LOOKED THE SAME (MISSING INSULATION/ WIRES SHORTING) ALL COMING FROM HYUNDAI TUCSON'S. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. LOOKING AT OTHER NTSB COMPLAINTS FOR 05, 06 TUCSON'S TURNS UP NEARLY 60 OTHER STALLING ENGINE; RUNNING ROUGH; ENGINE CUTS OFF; TYPE COMPLAINTS. *TR

UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF ENGINE WHEN AT COMPLETE STOP (AT STOP SIGN) AND FOOT HAD BEEN ON BRAKE FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS. SHIFT WAS IN DRIVE, ENGINE WENT FULL SPEED, ALL WHEELS SPUN ON GROUND, CREATING MUCH SMOKE. FOOT REMAINED ON BRAKE. NOTE THAT ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN NOT ENGAGED IS BELOW LEVEL OF BRAKE PEDAL WHEN IT IS ENGAGED AND THAT WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS FULL DOWN THEN ITS LEVEL IS 3 INCHES BELOW THE BRAKE PEDAL LEVEL WHEN IT IS ENGAGED. RIGHT FOOT WAS ON BRAKE - THUS NO WAY FOR OPERATOR ERROR SINCE IF FOOT HAD BEEN OFF BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE SHOT FORWARD INTO INTERSECTION AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT. AND THERE IS NO WAY TO HAVE RIGHT FOOT ON BRAKE AND TO HAVE ACCELERATOR FULL DOWN AT THE SAME TIME. SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE, SOME NOISE WHEN SHIFTED - MAY HAVE HARMED TRANSMISSION. TURNED OFF IGNITION SWITCH AND ENGINE STOPPED. VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY AFTER THIS. AC WAS ON. CAR HAD FULL DEALER SERVICE AT 45,661 MILES AND STATE INSPECTION A WEEK BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. AT 45755 MILES, TECH CONFIRMED SES LIGHT; FOUND CODE P0150 OXYGEN SENSOR- NOT REPLACED, SOFTWARE UPDATED FOR ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. UPDATED 06/24/11 *BF

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

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

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.

TODAY, AUGUST 1, 2006, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEEDS AND WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THEY GAVE. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT THEY WERE STILL PUMPING BY THEMSELVES. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF THE CAR WHEN I TURNED BACK THE CAR THE EP LIGHT STATED IT WAS OFF. THEN, WHEN IT IS RAINING MY BRAKES WILL LOCK AND I GO SLIDING. THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS SOMETIMES MY CAR DOORS OPEN AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. IF I USE THE ALARM THEY WONT BUDGE IF I OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE KEY THEN SOMETIMES THE ALARM GOES OFF. THEN SOMETIMES THE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE HATCHBACK DOOR I HAVE TO PULL HARD TO OPEN THIS DOOR. THIS ARE THE PROBLEMS THE DEALER CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND. THE OTHER PROBLEMS HE FIXED THE COMPARTMENT FOR MY GLASSES DIDN'T OPEN RIGHT FROM THE DAY I GOT IT, THE MATS FIRST PUT IN THE CAR USED TO FOLD UP WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LATCH, THE STABILIZER LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND THE PASSENGER AND THE DRIVER SEAT LATCH WHERE THE SITS GO BACK CRACKED.
