Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There are multiple recalls on this vehicle, but when I researched on the federal safety agency website. It claimed 0 recalls... I'm confused!!!!! When I researched on another site it gave me 4 different recalls. And this vehicle is displaying problems that describes at least 2 of these recalls. Brake lights not working. And also slight pull when accelerating. Recall numbers 05v119000 and 09v122000. I was in motion when another driver pulled on side of me and informed me that my brakes lights were not working. And I also believe that I am having problems with my electronic stability control.
Called the dealer to fix recalls 068 esp...071 parking brake....079 airbag system....and 092 stop lamp switch, dealer indicated that my car VIN number not included, the esp light wont go off on my car, it is always on. Please advice what steps to take. Thanks
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".
Problemas con el power train. History = en el primer ao se dao cd player lo cambiaron pero empece a tener dificultades con el horn por un mal entendido cambiaron el clock, hasta la fecha nunca me arreglaron el horn el cual deja y empieza a funcionar en cualquier momento. El vehiculo en veces prendia la luz del "check" pero por unas horas o un dia el dealer nunca encontro nada en veces tambien se daba como jalones como que se queria parar, se llego a para 3 veces, los del dealer nunca encontraron nada siempre la lleve ahi para mantenimiento y cambio de aceite, ellos cobran demasiado por los servicios, ya cambie headlights 2 veces y otras lucesitas del frente, se cambio serpentine belt,bateria , llantas, parabrisas, frenos; en los ultimos 9 meses cambie a otro lugar para cambio y chequeo de fluidos. El 12/17/09 7am, prendio a la 3rd vez que trate fui y vine al trabajo y casa sin problemas, por la tarde sali a los 15 minutos se empezo a jalonear y cada ves que bajaba la velocidad se queria apagar el motor lo cual sucedio al hacer algun stop, pero la prendia de nuevo sin ningun problema al regreso a casa volvio a pararse varias veces, ademas se prendio la luz de "check" y a los 5 minutos se prendio otra que por el seor que levanto el vehiculo se que indicaba problemas en el "power train" y menciono tambien el 4x4. Total que al prender esa luz ya no quiso levantar la marcha nomas como a 1 milla por hora y eso jalonendose mucho, bueno por una u otra razon yo hable hasta el 12/29/09 para que la levantaran y hasta hoy se me comunico que tenia un sensor daado algo asi como "throtle position censor" por lo cual me quieren cobrar 455.00 + taxes. Yo no tenia idea de este sitio, y creo que tenia derecho de que se me comunicara en el dealer acerca de todos los recalls para este tipo de vehiculo, estoy insatisfecha con el vehiculo y por los altos costos de mantenimiento que he tenido que pagar de algo que ya sabian que existia. Necesito ayuda urgene, please. *tr received complaint written in english.
Brake lights fail to illuminate when brake pedal depressed. Esp (vehicle stability control) light on dash remained illuminated.
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.
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.
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 the federal safety agency 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. Mats rolled under brake replaced, brakes slid when it rained, back window wipers made noise when it rained , sun glass holder got stuck even though it was replaced, passenger seat back cracked twice and replaced. I would like to know how many owner tuscan owners suffered like I did without any help, if so email me at [email protected] I contacted the 1-800 they give on this site and I spoke to a case manager and she wanted me to fax to her all the paper work and forms I have sent out. The total of pages was 52 and it would cost 75.00 to send ,which they did not reimburse, they didn't have a actual address to send the information to, she gave me a file number I got august 1, 06, so I asked where the paper work?
