Started in dec 2015 had problem starting car. All the lights came on then died. Finally started took it to the mechanic for a diagnostic test no problem was found. After a week same problem occurred, I was told to press on the gas for a while. Worked, however three months later, try to start car all lights came on then died. If the manufacturer is aware of a problem inform the customers. Obviously there is a problem. Help us identify and solve the problem. Could you imagine getting ready to go to work but the car you drove yesterday would not start? What is happening? Its frustrating not knowing what is wrong. Will my car start today? In addition the light comes on about the passenger airbag is off.

My 2006 tucson has failed to start multiple times. It cranks, but doesn't start. Dealer has replaced the fuel pump 4 or 5 times, and it then works, but the pump keeps failing. Some times the pump lasted over a year, and other times the pump has failed within a couple of months.

I purchased the tuscon used approx. 2.5 months prior to the first incident. After work I went to start my vehicle and it would not crank. I had to have a tow truck come "jump" my vehicle. I went to an auto parts store and was told the battery was bad. I replaced the battery. The next day, when I went to leave work, the vehicle again would not start. I had to have a "jump" a second time. I took the vehicle back to an auto parts store and was told the battery was fine, and the alternator was bad. I replaced the alternator. Two weeks after replacing the alternator, I again had to have the vehicle "jumped." I went to an auto parts store and was told that the alternator, which was brand new, was bad. I contacted the hyundai dealership and was told they have not heard of something causing the alternators to go bad like I was describing.

First incident occurred-when I lived in fredericksburg,va -I was driving on rt 1 going downhill toward a stop light(no vehicle in front of me). As I was coming to a stop at the light the vehicle brakes were press down as far as it could go and I hear a clicking noise on the panel which was the ESC light. I had to turn the car off and put it in park to start it, in order to continue to drive. This has happened a couple other times. Tires have been replaced couple of times and brake pads because of groves and grinding noise. Now I'm having problems with my car won't start - had battery checked at advanced auto and its good. Esc light on with clicking noise when attempt to start car. Now that my vehicle have almost 123,000 miles, I found a recall the federal safety agency: 09v122000. Called hyundai customer assistance center 1‑800‑633‑5151 this morning at 08:18 am eastern standard time, I advise the representative that I had been having problem with my vehicle as described in this recall. She said my vehicle is not eligible because it was not in the list of VIN'??s they had complaints. Should the recall have a cut off because of mileage, is there a determination that the problem was corrected in my vehicle by VIN, does it pertain to vehicle manufactured in a particular region of the us, overseas or defective parts on the vehicle. Second owner of vehicle, purchased vehicle from hyundai certified dealer when returned from deployment. I'??m a veteran and the vehicle has a lot of highway mileage to and from the nearest va medical hospital, va community out-patient base clinic, and other medical services.

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 hyundai tucson. The driver went to start the vehicle, but it would not start. He observed that the battery failed and had it replaced. The vehicle operated normally after the replacement, but the failure recurred nine months later. He connected the battery to a gauge, which indicated that it failed again. Since the battery was less than a year old, he took the vehicle to a dealer. The contact was informed that when the vehicle is parked for 2-3 days, it causes the battery to drain . The mechanic also stated that the battery fails because the radio is causing it to drain, as if it were still activated when the vehicle was idling.
