2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP AT NO TIME DID ANY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL LIGHT APPEARED UPON HAVING MY CAR TOWED HOME I FELT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE OIL WAS JUST CHANGED JULY 8TH OF 2017. MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AUGUST 27TH A 2017. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I NEVER GOT A SERVICE ENGINE SOON OR DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR.

I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING GARAGE AND HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A SPACE WITH CARS ON BOTH SIDES. WHEN I NORMALLY PARK, MY FOOT IS OVER THE BRAKE AND I TAP THE BRAKE AS I GO IN. IN THIS CASE, AS SOON AS I BEGAN TURNING RIGHT, MY CAR TOOK OFF LIKE A SHOT. IT FELT LIKE A CAR BEING FLOORED. I BARELY MISSED ONE OF THE CARS AND SLAMMED INTO A CONCRETE WALL, MAKING A 4 X 6 HOLE IN THE WALL AND SETTING OFF THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR WAS SMOKING AND I IMMEDIATELY SHUT IT OFF SO THERE WOULD BE NO FIRE.

2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON. SEAT BELT RETRACTOR MECHANISM TO LOCKED UP, DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THE CONSUMER TOOK OWNERSHIP. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE ENTERED THE VEHICLE, HE DISCOVERED THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT. IT WOULD ONLY COME OUT ABOUT SIX INCHES AND THEN LOCK. HE REMOVED THE PLASTIC COVER ON THE LOWER SECTION OF THE B PILLAR AND FOUND SEVERAL PARTS OF THE RETRACTOR LAYING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PILLAR. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT, AND AS A RESULT, THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE CONSUMER STATED IF A VEHICLE IS IN AN ACCIDENT, THE PRETENSION ENGAGES THE LOCK UP MECHANISM AND ULTIMATELY, THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT UNIT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED, THE AUTO BODY SHOP TAMPERED WITH THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR UNIT, TO MAKE IT WORK. *JB

WITH THE 2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON, WITHIN 12 HOURS OF OWNING THE CAR AND DRIVING IT OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT, WE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE KEY INDICATOR BLINKING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AND CAR WOULD NOT START AT WORK. IT STARTED FINE AT HOME AN MOSTLY ANYWHERE ELSE. ONLY BY PRESSING THE FOB ITSELF ON PUSH BUTTON START, DID CAR START AT WORK PARKING LOT. IF FOB NOT PRESSED ONTO PUSH BUTTON, WOULD NOT START. DEALERSHIP REPLACED KEY FOB AND BATTERIES, DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT MEMBER ACCOMPANIED US TO PARKING LOT, EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE IN WORK PARKING LOT. WITH ASSISTANCE FROM SECURITY GUARDS AT WORK, REALIZED THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN PARKING NEXT TO A SOLAR PANEL ON A SUNNY DAY AT WORK PARKING LOT. TO COMPENSATE FOR ISSUE NOW, CAR IS PARKED FARTHER AWAY FROM OFFICE BUILDING AS IT WAS DISCOVERED SOLAR PANELS ON LIGHT POLE INTERFERED WITH ANTENNA FOR KEY. SERVICE DEPT MEMBER FROM HYUNDAI SAID THEY BELIEVE THEY SAW AN EMAIL/SERVICE BULLETIN REFERENCING SUCH AN ISSUE, AND DID NOT SUGGEST ANY REMEDIATION EXCEPT TP PARK AWAY FROM THE LIGHT POLE. OUR WORKAROUND HAS BEEN TO PARK AWAY FROM SOLAR PANEL LIGHT POLES OR COVER THE SENSOR ON THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD. THIS HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP'S SOLUTION WAS TO SEND AN EMAIL WITH THE HYUNDAI CORPORATE PHONE NUMBER FOR FURTHER ESCALATION. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR US AS MORE HOUSES AND COMPANIES ARE ERECTING SOLAR PANELS, AND NOW WILL WE HAVE TO PICK WHERE WE PARK OUR TUCSON BASED ON IF A SOLAR PANEL IS NEARBY. IF YOU LIVE NEAR SOLAR PANELS, DON'T BUY A TUCSON WITH A PUSH BUTTON STAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT 5 MPH FOR NO REASON THE SIDE AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS EXPLODED! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF ON MY 3 WEEK OLD CAR SUDDENLY IMPLODED AT RANDOM. IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANY OBJECTS OR DEBRIS. THE PANORAMIC ROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME BUT THE SCREEN UNDERNEATH WAS OPEN SO THAT YOU COULD SEE THROUGH THE WINDOW. THE GLASS WAS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE FRONT AND BACK SEATS AS WELL AS FOUND ON TOP OF THE BACK PORTION OF THE ROOF. NO INJURIES RESULTED BUT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

EXPLODING SUNROOF. I HAD JUST GOTTEN ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2015 HYUNDAI TUSCON. I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD "POP" SOUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUNSHOT. THEN THE MESH SUNROOF VISOR BEGAN TO SAG AND I COULD HEAR AND FEEL WIND COMING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THAT AREA. I GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY, PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT TO LOOK AT THE ROOF. THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THERE WERE LARGE AND SMALL SHARDS OF SHARP GLASS SITTING ON TOP OF THE MESH INTERIOR SUNROOF COVER. I TRIED TO MOVE THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUSING THE MESH TO SAG SO MUCH, BUT I CUT MY FINGERS WHILE DOING THIS SO I STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT (ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY). WHILE DRIVING, I WAS FRIGHTENED THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE GLASS ON THE MESH WOULD CAUSE IT TO RIP OR COLLAPSE. AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT HYUNDAI SUNROOF RECALLS THAT I HAVE SINCE READ ABOUT. NOW THEY WANT ME TO COME AND PICK UP THE "REPAIRED" VEHICLE BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING DEFECT. *TR
