2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

I WAS JUST DRIVING NORMAL SPEED AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED ME MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING IS FAULTY. THEY ARE SAYING IT ISN'T UNDER MY WARRANTY, WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2010 I WAS TOLD I HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR THE FIRST 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DX TESTING AND THE CLOCK SPRING AND INSTALLATION FOR A PART THAT IS OUT OF MY CONTROL OF BEING FAULTY, THAT ISN'T FAIR AND THE WARRANTY YOU ARE SAYING IS VERY MISLEADING. *TR

ON 6/14 WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR DEPLOYED THERE WASN'T ANY DAMAGE TO MY CAR. TOOK IT IN TO CARMAX WAS TOLD IT DETECTED A CRASH BUT NO DAMAGE THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. ELGIN HYUNDAI LOOKED AT IT AND EXPLAINED IT HAD IMPACT DAMAGE BUT THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION WHILE EITHER BRAKING OR SLOWLY ATTEMPTING TO PARK. DURING EACH INCIDENT THE AUTO ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AUTO FROM PROCEEDING FORWARD EVEN WITH BOTH FEET HEAVILY APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. EACH TIME I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO MANEUVER TO AVOID HITTING ANY PEDESTRIANS IN MY PATH AND FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO HUMAN INJURIES DURING ANY OF THESE OCCASIONS. HOWEVER, TWO OF THE INCIDENTS DID RESULT IN A COLLISION. THE FIRST WAS A MINOR REAR END CRASH RESULTING FROM THE INABILITY TO STOP THE AUTO WHEN IT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED WHILE BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT. THE LAST INCIDENT RESULTED IN EXPENSIVE AUTO DAMAGE WHEN THE AUTO UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED WHILE SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT ALONG THE STREET AND CAUSING THE AUTO TO JUMP THE CURB. TO AVOID HITTING PEDESTRIANS WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK OR CRASHING INTO A STOREFRONT, I WAS FORCED TO COLLIDE INTO A TELEPHONE POLE TO STOP THE AUTO RESULTING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF FRONT END DAMAGE. *TR

MY PROBLEM WITH THIS TUCSON IS IN REGARDS OF "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION". IT SPORADICALLY, ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS WE EXPERIENCE "SUA" FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER AND ACCELERATION EVERY TIME IT'S DRIVEN. EX: DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70MPH, IT WILL LUNGE AND THE TACHOMETER WILL RACE AND SUDDENLY LOSES POWER DOWN TO 35MPH. THEN HAS A LAG ACCELERATING AFTERWARDS. THIS IS CONSISTENT THROUGH OUT THE DAY SINCE I COMMUTE A LOT. OTHER ISSUES, WHEN ENGINE ON IDLE IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND FROM THEIR DIAGNOSIS, THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MALFUNCTION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND DOING RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THESE ISSUES WITH NUMEROUS TUCSON OWNERS. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY AS WE NOW HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS ON THE FREEWAY. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR SAFETY AND NOW ARE STARTING TO QUESTION OUR SAFETY DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

A TRUCK PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I SMASHED THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY CAR INTO THEM AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY..UPDATED 05/30/14 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE NECK BACK AND HIPS. UPDATED 06/06/2014 *JS

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK FROM DRIVE WHEN STOPPED TO PARK. I DROVE TO ANOTHER PARKING SPOT AND STILL WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. THE CAR FINALLY SHUT DOWN. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART, WHICH UNABLE TO DO THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FROZEN AND UNABLE TO PUSH DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT BECAUSE IF IT HAD STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY I COULD OF CREATED A ACCIDENT. THE CAR JUST FROZE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

I WAS AT A GAS STATION AND POSITIONING MY VEHICLE FOR FUELING. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER GOT STUCK AND I COULDN'T MOVE IT TO ANYWHERE BUT NEUTRAL. DURING THIS TIME THE ESC AND DOWNHILL BRAKE CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. THEN I SWITCHED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT, THE PROBLEM SEEM TO GO OFF. NOW IT RECURS VERY OFTEN AT LEAST 5 TIMES A DAY EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS ~25 MPH ON A DRY ROAD. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE ALL OF THE DOORS LOCK WITHOUT ME USING THE FOB.I DID HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT THIS ISSUE,BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE MY ISSUE.SO WHEN I GET MY OIL CHANGE I MAKE SURE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS DOWN,SO THE CAR DOESN'T LOCK ON THE MECHANIC WITH THE KEYS INSIDE.I ALSO FEEL THAT MY CAR DOESN'T GET ENOUGH MILES TO THE GALLON AND IT SHOULD OF BEEN INCLUDED IN THE LAST RECALL. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR - DASHBOARD ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ETC ILLUMINATED. DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS ISSUE..........IT HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE BUT RESET ITSELF. TODAY 9/10/13 AGAIN IT HAPPENED AND I HAD TO POP THE SHIFT LOCK TO OVERRIDE AND PUT IT INTO GEAR. *TR
