LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

STRUCTURE
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

SUSPENSION:FRONT
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

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
THE RETRACTABLE SEAT BELTS FROM THE CEILING OF THE 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON ARE DANGEROUS TO CHILDREN. MY 7 YEAR OLD SON RELEASED BOTH ATTACHMENTS AT THE BUCKLE AREA AND IT RETRACTED AND ON ITS WAY UP HIT MY 5 YR OLD NIECE IN BELOW THE EYE SHE HAD A VERY BIG BLACK EYE FROM THIS INCIDENT I HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW THE INJURY THAT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF IT HAD ACTUALLY HIT HER IN THE EYE. *NM

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
WHILE TRAVELING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, ON A STRAIGHT FLAT ROAD, AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, MY WIFE AND I WENT INTO A SLIDE IN OUR 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER GOING OFF THE ROAD THE CAR MADE IMPACT WITH A TREE AT THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR CAUSING OVER $11,000 IN DAMAGES NOT ONLY TO THE OUTSIDE BUT ALSO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR WAS PUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY A 1FT, CAUSING THE ROOF AND DASHBOARD TO BUCKLE UP, AND THE FRONT END TO BOW OUTWARD TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. ADDITIONALLY THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED ALONG WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. IN THIS VEHICLE THERE ARE SEVERAL AIRBAGS, INCLUDING SIDE AND CURTAIN, NONE OF WHICH WENT OFF. UPON BEING INSPECTED BY MY INSURANCE AGENT IT WAS HIS BELIEF THAT AT LEAST THE SIDE BAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MY SEAT BELT TENSIONERS DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK EITHER. I CALLED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI EXPECTING THAT THEY WOULD OFFER TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT NEED TO BE FIXED, INSTEAD THEY ARE SENDING ME ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK THAT I NEED TO FILL OUT AND SEND BACK TO THEM THROUGH REGULAR POSTAL MAIL. WHAT MADE THINGS WORSE IS THAT THE PERSON FROM HYUNDAI THAT I SPOKE WITH KEPT REMINDING ME THROUGHOUT OUR CONVERSATION THAT IT WOULD BE A LENGTHY PROCESS AND HAVING THE CAR INSPECTED BY ANYONE WAS NOT GUARANTEED. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO BE FIXED, BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY CAN NOT WAIT FOR MONTHS AND NEITHER CAN WE, AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE INITIAL PAPERWORK. *JB

THE SECOND ISSUE WAS IN REGARDS TO WATER POURING THROUGH INTO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE FIRST HYUNDAI DEALER CLAIMED, AS THEY DID WITH THE AIRBAG, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AFTER THEY CHECKED IT OUT. DESPITE HAVING WATER VISIBLE ON THE PASSENGER MAT. AFTER THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, WHICH ONLY OCCURRED AFTER A LONG OR HEAVY PERIOD OF RAINFALL, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SECOND HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY CHECKED THE ISSUE AND SAID THAT THEY REPLACED SOME STRIPPING ON THE BODY. THE FIRST RAIN YIELDED A POURING OF WATER ONTO THE FLOOR AND A RETURN TO THE DEALER. THE SECOND DEALER CHECKED THIS LEAK AGAIN AND THIS TIME SAID THEY REPLACED THE WEATHER STRIPPING. AFTER THE FIRST RAINFALL AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR BACK I GOT INTO THE CAR TO FIND A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE FLOOR AND LIFTED THE MAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO FIND A SOAKED CARPET. THE SOAKING LED UNDER THE DIVIDER BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLOOR AREA AND BEHIND THE RADIO. CURRENTLY I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS FOR A 4TH TIME, MEETING THE LEMON REQUIREMENT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE 3 DAYS. ON DAY 2 I WAS TO PICKUP THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS DAMAGED DURING THEIR REPAIRS AND THEY HAD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AN EXTRA DAY TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I AM CURRENTLY AWAITING TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK TO SEE IF THE LEAK HAS BEEN FIXED OR NOT. BUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AS WATER LEAKING THROUGH AREAS WITH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, ESPECIALLY NEAR A IMPROPERLY WORKING PASSENGER AIRBAG, MAY CAUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THERE HAS BEEN TWO PROBLEMS INVOLVING MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS IN REGARDS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE LIGHT WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF WITH AN ADULT FEMALE OF OVER FIVE FEET IN HEIGHT AND OVER 100 LBS, BUT LESS THAN 115LBS. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL THE FLICKERING LIGHT MEANS THAT THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD CHECKED IT AND IT WAS WORKING FINE. THEY SAID IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED THAT THEY COULD ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SENSOR. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALER A COUPLE OF TOWNS AWAY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE SENSOR WAS OPERATING CORRECTLY AND TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY. THE PROBLEM AGAIN PERSISTED AND THE SECOND HYUNDAI, UPON A THIRD VISIT, SAID THAT THERE IS NO WEIGHT LIMIT FOR THE SENSOR TO WORK AT, BUT LIKE THE MANUAL STATES, THE PERSON NEEDS TO SIT CORRECTLY IN THE SEAT. THEY TOOK A LOOK AT THE SENSOR AND SINCE THAT TIME THERE HAS BEEN LESS ISSUES IN REGARDS TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON OCCASIONALLY FOR THIS PASSENGER AND THE SIZE, SHAPE, AND WAY OF SITTING IN THE SEAT HAS NOT CHANGED. *JB
