2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI FOR NUMEROUS FAILURES TO MY 2005 TUCSON HYUNDAI. I HAVE SPOKEN TO BRIANNA THE HELD OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS REGARDING THIS MATTER AND STATED THAT I HAD TO BRING IN MY VEHICLE TO BE SEEN WHICH I HAVE DONE ON 2 OR 3 OCCASIONS. I EVEN FAX OVER ALL THE PAPER WORK WHICH I HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESULT. TODAY, NOVEMBER 17,2006 I DECIDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI OF WHITE PLAINS, SAW JOEY SMOUHA AT 1-914-328-3525 AT 460 TARRYTOWN ROAD, WHITE PLAINS, NY 10607. I WAS HAVING THE PROBLEM THAT MY ALARM DOESN'T WORK, I CAN'T OPEN NOR CLOSE MY DOORS. HE LOOK OVER THE CAR AND SAID IT SEEMS THAT I HAVING SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND I AM GOING TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE ON MY THANKSGIVING BREAK. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT HYUNDAI OF NEW ROCHELLE HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND SINCE 2005 AND HYUNDAI OF WHITE PLAINS WERE NICE AND POLITE. AND, GAVE ME THE TIME OF DAY WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN AND SAID PLEASE LOOK AT IT. NOW I DID THE SAME AND SPOKE TO DAVID DIAZ OF NEW ROCHELLE, HE DIDN'T LOOK AT IT HE JUST ASK WHEN CAN I BRING IT IN AND DROP IT OFF THAT THEY HAD TO KEEP IT FOR A WEEK. I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE WHOLE THING. I HAVE HAD OVER 21 PROBLEMS/COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *NM

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO CRAWL THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE. MY DAD BROUGHT IT IN AND I HAD APPOINTMENT FOR 7:10 AM, AT 12:30 THEY SAID IT WAS DONE THEY WERE WALKING ON THE WRONG CAR THEN AT THEY LOOK AT THE CAR AT 12:30 AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEN, AT 1:00 ANOTHER MECHANIC LOOK AT AND THEY TOLD MY DAD THEY REPROGRAM THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON I HAVE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE NONE OF WHICH THE DEALER SAYS HE CAN FIND BUT BEFORE I CRASH OR LOOSE MY LIFE I WOULD LIKE FIX. 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. ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FROM THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASE TO NOW. I TRADED IN MY ELENTRA FOR A SUV THINKING IT WOULD BE BETTER BUT I NEVER HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT LURCHED FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, THE 4WD LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

DURING A RECENT LONG RAIN EVENT IN THE NORTHEAST I ENTERED MY CAR TO FIND A 1/2 OF SITTING WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FLOOR AREA. THE WATER WAS TRICKLING FROM THE TOP PORTION OF THE FLOOR MAT WHERE IT MEETS THE DASH. UPON REMOVING THE GLOVE BOX AND PULLING OUT THE CABIN FILTER, I NOTICED THE WATER COMING DOWN THROUGH THE AC SYSTEM. DEALER LOOKED AT THE DOOR JAMS AND THE HOOD, AND FOUND NOTHING. NO RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME. SIMILAR COMPLAINT FILED ON SERVICE BULLETINS. CAR WAS PARKED ON A 10 DEGREE ANGLE NOSE END DOWN. WATER LEAK THROUGH AND NEAR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND NEAR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. LOSS OF AIRBAG INTEGRITY WITH UNKNOWN DAMAGE IF ANY. MOLD AND MILDEW DAMAGE IS A POTENTIAL HEATH ISSUE AS WELL. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 HYUNDAI TUSCON GLS 4WD. ALTHOUGH MY DEALER HAD THE RECALL REPAIR ON THE SUSPENSION, THIS SUV STILL HAS SQUEAKING NOISE OR ABRASION NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BODY WHILE I DRIVE ABOVE 80 MPH ON HIGHWAY. NOT EVERYTIME, BUT MOST TIME. THIS NOISE, FOLLOWED BY SOME SORT OF BRAKING REALLY SCARED ME ON HIGHWAY. I HAD THIS SUV BACK TO DEALER TWICE BUT THEY CAN'T FIX IT. *NM
