2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

WHILE DRIVING UP THE EXIT RAMP, THE FRAME BROKE IN HALF IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRES CAUSING THE REAR OF THE CAR TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL.. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE GARAGE IT WAS BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES BEYOND REPAIR. FORTUNATELY I WAS JUST EXITING THE INTERSTATE WHERE I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 75 MPH.

TAKATA INFLATORS MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MANY MONTHS. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO TAKE IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. I RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL THIS MORNING INDICATING THAT MY VEHICLE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE VIN IT DOESN'T SEEM SO. ALTHOUGH IT IS A 2005, THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN GREAT RUNNING CONDITION. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I CAN DO TO HAVE THIS CHECKED.

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

"TAKATA RECALL" ON APRIL 8TH APPROXIMATELY 6 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING I WAS AWAKEN OUT OF MY SLEEP TO MY CAR ON FIRE IN MY YARD. I CALLED THE FIREFIGHTER DEPARTMENT THEY CAME OUT AND SAID IT WAS FROM BAD ELECTRICAL WIRES. MY CAR WAS IN MY FRONT YARD...I LAST DROVE IT THAT NIGHT TO PIZZA HUT

I WAS OUT OF MY TOWN PICKING UP A TODDLER I WAS GOING TO BABYSIT THAT NIGHT, I ALSO HAD MY OWN 1.5 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE, ON MY WAY BACK HOME THE VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ROUGHLY 50 MPH AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED. I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES LATER AS I WAS MAKING A LANE CHANGE AGAIN AROUND 50 MPH THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY DECELERATED AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT US! I HAD TO BABIES IN THE CAR UNDER 2 YEARS OLD! I LIMPED MY WAY TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE AND THE COMPUTER READ OUT A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 5. I LIVED APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AWAY AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE GOING MAYBE 40 MPH WITH MY CAUTION LIGHTS ON WHILE HEAVY TRAFFIC FLEW BY AT 70 MPH! I HAVE HAD MY SPOUSE LOOK AT IT AND WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY READING THE MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 5 EVERY TIME. WE ARE GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS WIRES AND COIL PACK, BUT AFTER A TON OF RESEARCH I HAVE LITTLE TO NO FAITH THIS WILL WORK. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND IT HAS 118900 MILES ON IT. I AM NOW NERVOUS TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF TOWN LET ALONE ON THE INTERSTATE THAT RUN DIRECTLY THROUGH MY TOWN!
