SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 9K MILES; PURCHASED NEW IN FEBRUARY 2014. THIRTEEN (13) MONTHS AFTER OWNING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARDS CAME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND THEN WERE ON PERMANENTLY (CITY DRIVING); ALSO POWER STEERING WAS GONE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WITH NO VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS. PICKED VEHICLE UP, DROVE HOME AND THREE (3) DAYS LATER (CITY DRIVING), ALL LIGHTS BACK ON. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER; GIVEN LOANER CAR FOR 9 DAYS. PICKED VEHICLE UP, DROVE HOME (45 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY), TWO (2) DAYS AFTER CITY DRIVING, CALLED DEALER TO TELL THEM THAT THE PROBLEM WAS BACK AGAIN. CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN SHOP FOR 12 DAYS; DEALER UNABLE TO FIND ROOT CAUSE. NOT SURE WHEN I WILL GET THE VEHICLE BACK. PERSONALLY, I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE; EVERY TRIP TO THE DEALER FOR ME IS A 45 MINUTE DRIVE...VERY INCONVENIENT SITUATION. I THINK IT'S A LEMON.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ADDENDUM TO COMPLAINT #10806179: DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS THAT KEEP COMING ON AND OFF AND PERMANENTLY STAYING ON ARE THE PARKING BRAKE, ABS SERVICE INDICATOR, 4WD SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE TELLTALE. ALL OF THESE WARNING LIGHTS TELL YOU TO BRING TO YOUR DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR. I REALLY THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU. NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO GO WITH THIS; HAVE SENT HYUNDAI USA AN EMAIL AS WELL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
LETTER TO NSTB AND MA ATTORNEY GENERAL, RE HYUNDAI UNDERBODY CORROSION ON 8/6/2015 I RECEIVED A HYUNDAI "SERVICE CAMPAIGN NOTIFICATION" ON MY 2005 TUCSON FOR "UNDER BODY CORROSION." I DID HAVE THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. ('ARRESTS' IT, THEY CLAIM, BUT NOT REMOVES IT.) BY THAT DATE I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED TWO FAILURES CAUSED BY THE CORROSION, BOTH OF WHICH I BELIEVE HAD HIGH POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS, EVEN FATAL ACCIDENTS. THE REPAIRS COST ALMOST $2,000, BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE. I AM MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUES. LUCKILY, THE FUEL TANK FALLING ONTO THE DRIVE SHAFT DID NOT RUPTURE AND EXPLODE. THE RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM FAILURE CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AN ABRUPT STOP INTO THE RIGHT CURB. HAD IT BEEN THE LEFT FRONT,, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD IT BEEN AT TURNPIKE SPEED I SUSPECT A LIKELY ROLLOVER. THE LEFT FRONT ARM WAS ALSO NEAR FAILURE. I SENT TWO EMAILS TO HYUNDAI, AND MADE A NUMBER OF CALLS, IN PART REQUESTING REPAIR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY TO TELL THEM MY CONCERN THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I ASKED THEM TO BUY IT BACK AT A FAIR PRICE. NO RESPONSE. TWICE, THEY PROMISED TO CONTACT ME IN 2 TO 5 DAYS, THEY DIDN'T, EVER.. WHEN I LATER CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM I HAD SOLD THE CAR (AT A LOSS IN VALUE) THEY JUST BRUSHED ME OFF. (TO PARAPHRASE THEM: 'IT'S NO LONGER AN ISSUE SINCE YOU NOW DON'T OWN IT'). I CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTS (REPAIR INVOICES, WITH FINDINGS, AND EMAILS IF YOU WISH). I AM REQUESTING YOU TAKE ACTION TO INVESTIGATE, AND AS NEEDED, TAKE ACTION TO ISSUE STRONGER SANCTIONS AGAINST HYUNDAI, THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL ALL THE AFFECTED CARS.

WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION OR IN IDLE, CAR ENGAGES IN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE GOING FORWARD OR BACKWARD (DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF GEAR.) SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPENS EVEN WHEN DRIVER'S FOOT IS PRESSING AGAINST BREAK PEDAL. DANGEROUS SITUATIONS INCLUDE TURNING ON THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING THE DAY TO DRIVE OUT OF THE GARAGE IN REAR MOTION. IN THIS SITUATION IT IS COMMON THAT THE CAR MOVES ABRUPTLY BACKWARDS AND ACCELERATES DOWN THE DRIVEWAY RAMP AND TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK AND STREET. IF THERE ARE PEOPLE WALKING BY THE DRIVEWAY OR SIDEWALK, OR CARS APPROACHING THE SIDEWALK, THEY MAY BE HIT. AS DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE DESCENT OF THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE RAMP. ANOTHER VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION INVOLVING PEOPLE POTENTIALLY BEING HURT OR EVEN KILLED INCLUDES CAR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN IDLE, WHILE PEOPLE ARE CROSSING THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND MOVED FORWARD WHILE A PERSON WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAR, CROSSING THE STREET. THAT PERSON WAS ALMOST HIT. WHILE THERE WAS NOT ANY POTENTIAL PHYSICAL HARM, I (THE DRIVER) AND THE PERSON CROSSING THE STREET WERE VERY UPSET DUE TO THE IMMINENT DANGER. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TWICE TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM, BUT DESPITE COMPLETING TWO MAJOR SERVICES (COSTING ME ALMOST A THOUSAND DOLLARS), THEY HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE ACCELERATION AND HOW TO FIX. I PLEAD THIS CASE HERE HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL FORCE HYUNDAI TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL URGENTLY.

THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS TURNING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR ACCELERATED AT FULL THROTTLE. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE ROARED. I THEN TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE THEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD NO INCIDENT SINCE THEN. I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE WITH THE CAR LURCHING LIKE THAT.

STEERING
I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO LOOSE YOU HAVE TO HANG ONTO TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING OVER A STRETCH OF ROAD THAT IS BEEN PATCHED ( AND THERE ARE MANY STRETCHES LIKE THAT IN NJ) BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. THERE IS NO CLEAR PATTERN TO THIS SITUATION. GENERALLY IT HAPPENS ONCE AND THEN NOT AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS - THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME INDICATING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION. FIRST GO AROUND WAS SEPT. 2014 @ 6,800 MILES. IT WAS TAKEN INTO HYUNDAI - THE TEST DROVE IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURRED FOR THEM. THE STEERING COLUMN (UPPER ASSEMBLY) WAS REPLACED. A YEAR GOES BY (SEPT. 2015) AND IT STARTS AGAIN @14,800 MILES. SAME PROCEDURE AS LAST YEAR - PICK VEHICLE UP AFTER 9 DAYS - 2 HOURS LATER, SAME THING, NO STEERING ALL THE LIGHTS COME. THIS TIME THE CLEANED GROUNDS. ONE WEEK LATER SAME SITUATION .DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY TENSE, MANY TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR OTHERS TO PASS. AND HOPE THAT IS CORRECTS ITSELF, WHICH IT DOES SOMETIMES BUT FOR HOW LONG I NEVER KNOW.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JULY AND IT WAS IN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL CONDITION MECHANICALLY AND PHYSICALLY.IT HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PER THE CARFAX REPORT AND METICULOUS CARE BY ITS PREVIOUS OWNER, WITH MOSTLY "HIGHWAY" MILEAGE AND NEW TIRES. AFTER A LITTLE OVER A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP, I LIFTED THE REAR WINDOW AND FIRST ONE LATCH SNAPPED DUE TO COROSION, FOLLOWED BY THE SECOND AND THE WINDOW I CAUGHT LUCKILY IN MY HANDS!THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED, POSSIBLY CAUSING A SHATTERED WINDOW AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROADWAY!I WAS QUOTED $70 PER LATCH FOR A REPLACEMENT BY THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER PLUS INSTALLATION COSTS.I HAVE HAD HATCHBACK VEHICLES BEFORE AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN REGARDLESS OF THE CAR'S AGE, AND ESPECIALLY FROM ONE TAKEN CARE OF SO UNBELIEVABLY WELL BY ITS ONLY OWNER. SINCE THIS OCCURRED I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS WITH HYUNDAI TUCSONS AND THAT THEY ARE READILY KEPT IN STOCK-WHICH CAUSES ME TO BELIEVE THIS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND POOR DESIGN.
