2008 Hyundai Tucson Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,380.

WE WERE DRIVING TOWARDS HOME WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK AS IF SOMEONE WERE APPLYING THE BRAKES AND SOUNDED AS IF GEARS WERE GRINDING. THE ESC IDIOT LIGHT KEPT GOING OFF AND ON SO I TURNED THE ESC OFF WITH THE MANUAL SWITCH AND IT SEEMED TO WORK MEANING I COULD DRIVE WITH NO APPARENT PROBLEM. I AM CERTAINLY VERY HAPPY THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT A HIGHER SPEED BECAUSE THE JERKING WAS SOMEWHAT SEVERE AT 35MPH. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT ON. DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED, HYUNDAI INLAND EMPIRE, LOMA LINDA, CA, DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED A WIRE WAS SEVERED IN LOOM ATTACHED TO PASSENGER SEATBELT THAT CONNECTS TO ASSEMBLY UNDER VEHICLE (PHOTOS AVAILABLE). THIS PART HAS NEVER BEEN TAMPERED AND UNAWARE THAT PART EXISTED UNTIL MECHANIC CHECKED AND ONLY DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED. I ASKED FOR AN EXCEPTION TO WARRANTY AS THIS IS NOT A MOVING PART. THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AND THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE AS PART MUST BE DEFECTIVE IF WIRE SNAPPED. NO LONGER UNDER 60,000 MILE WARRANTY SO HYUNDAI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DENIED PAYING FOR THIS. NOW MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THEY HAVE ADVISED THE LOOM WHERE WIRE SNAPPED MUST BE REMANUFACTURED IN KOREA. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IS THE CASE WHEN THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL BEING MADE. I NEED HELP. *TR

ELECTRIC LOCKS NO LONGER WORK VEHICLE MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. *TR
