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. 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.

Transmission keeps slipping out of gear when you put into gear and car won't move. You stop at a light and even though car is in gear it won't move. Flip it back and forth on auto gear shift sometimes it moves. Other times it changes gears or slips out.

While stopped at a light the engine revved up to a high rate. I tried to put the transmission into neutral but put it into reverse instead, the high rate of revs continued, finally got it into neutral and engine went back to normal idle speed. When light changed put transmission into drive and proceeded home (a few blocks) without incident. This happened about 13 months ago whereby the mechanic replaced the idle speed control and throttle position sensor. Also they did a throttle body and fuel injection service at that time.

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 drove the car for over three total hours to try to get a fault code reading with no results. 4. Car will stall when coming to a stop 50% of the time. 5. Happens when the transmission is warm. 6. Feels like transmission is trying to figure out what gear it wants to go into when decelerating.
