When I drive my car and right after I put gas in my car I smell gas to the point that my husband and I are coming home with headaches and we're sick to her stomach I've taken it to a mechanic and they say there's nothing wrong the engine check engine light keep on coming on and then it will go off after it sit for a couple minutes turned off I'm about ready to have a baby in June and I'm so worried to have the baby in the car the brakes have stopped working to the point that I've gone in through lights and I can hardly put the brakes on I have to use emergency brake sometimes and nobody will help me get it taken care of I have had almost couple wrecks because I cannot get the brakes to stop take a lock on me and it's scary when you're having a baby and you know your seatbelt your brakes are locking but you for your seat belt to keep safe and my brakes locked to the point I cannot get them after the kick hit them with all my might just to unlock them and nobody will help me fix it

At first brakes were making noise so I went to replace them after getting parts and I noticed that the brake pedal went to the floor I was able to get it on concrete pad but when I jacked it up I say big chunks of rust falling when I looked under car rear axle subframe was pretty much gone after I say that I decided to order the replacement subframe but when it come in and I was getting ready to do it I body mount where it is bolted also needs replaced I was trying to find them when I come across a factory recall about this issue when I contacted them and the dealer about this issue dealer said it couldn't be done because there was nothing left and he refused to put on a lift because he said the rear subframe would fall on ground but manufacturer denied to repair or make any resolutions for it even though they had in past and they new about the problem I have found over 1000 issues listed and they have repaired a bunch of the same vehicles for the same issue I told them I never received anything about the issue and they said it was my responsibility not there's so not only did they not do or even try to do what they have on recall but they refused to do anything for me and I was glad I didn't try driving after I heard noise because I could of caused a major accident and been severely injured in process not to mention someone else due to rear frame and brakes falling and falling out of car

When it rains my steering wheel locks up when I drive thru a puddle I have brought my car to used car dealer where I bought it from and they say nothing is wrong but steering wheel locks when driving that to me is major problem they checked belt water is getting somewhere and causing a short hence power steering to lock it only happens when it rains

HYUNDAI NEVER NOTIFIED US OF THE SUBFRAME RUST RECALL. OUR MECHANIC JUST POINTED OUT THAT OUR'S. HE SAID THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. GETTING IT REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE. BRAKE LINES HAVE ALREADY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE. ALTERNATOR AND POWER STEERING PUMP, FRONT SUSPENSION ALL AT OUR EXPENSE. HYUNDAI UNRESPONSIVE.

DAY 1:I PULLED INTO A LANE LEADING TO A PARKING LOT. ON A 90 DEGREE TURN, I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE HYUNDAI STILL WAS IDLING WHEN I LOST THE POWER STEERING. I CAME TO A STOP AND THE POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THERE WAS SOME WATER ON THE PAVEMENT. DAY 2: SAME AS DAY ONE IN SAME LOCATION ON THE SAME TURN. DAY 5: TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE CENTER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER FOR ERROR CODES AND NONE WERE FOUND. THE CHECKED THE UNDER CARRIAGE FOR LOOSE WIRES, NONE WERE FOUND. THEY CHECKED THE SERPENTINE BELT AND IT WAS ALSO FOUND IN GOOD CONDITION. PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. NO INSURANCE SAFE DRIVING SENSOR WAS PLUGGED INTO THE COM PORT. THERE IS A SENSOR ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS STUCK ON. NO PHYSICAL CONNECTION TO THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WHILE FOOT ON BRAKE OR WHILE IN PARK ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN! I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY ON THE BRAKE FOR CAR TO STOP BUT ENGINE WAS STILL INCHING FORWARD WHILE IN STOPPED POSITION! WHEN IT IS IN PARK IT TRIES TO ACCELERATE BUT ENDS UP STALLING OUT AND THEN IM UNABLE TO START BACK UP FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES ALSO WHEN GOING A STEADY CITY WIDE SPEED MY CAR CHOOSES TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT MAKING IT DO SO THIS IS SCARY I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS DANGEROUS I HAVE CARRIED IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MACHANIC SHOPS ONE BEING FIRESTONE BEST OF THE BEST AND HAVE HAD DIOGNOSTIC TESTS CONDUCTED AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF MY ISSUE! IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES HAPPENING ONLINE WITH THE TUSCONS AND SANTA FE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED! I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR END WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE! AND IT WAS AS IF I WAS FIGHTING WITH MY VEHICLE TO STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHAKER'S FAMILY HYUNDAI (674 STRAITS TPKE, WATERTOWN, CT 06795, (860) 631-4200) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE ADAPTIVE VALUES WERE RESET AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD PERFORM AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING INTO HER DRIVEWAY, THE OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND MAS AIR FLOW SENSORS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

THE REAR SUBFRAME CROSSMEMBER AND PARKING BRAKE ARE COMPLETELY CORRODED. THIS WAS NOTICED WHILE CHANGING THE BRAKES ON NOV. 1ST 2019

WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE REAR END STARTED SWAYING WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO A BUSY MAIN STREET. WE HAD A MECHANIC SHOP LOOK UNDERNEATH AND THEY FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE REAR SUBFRAME HAD COME APART DUE TO CORROSION.

REAR SUBFRAME HAS COLLAPSED AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE UNIBODY SUDDENLY DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION. CAR IS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT. COLLAPSE IS SUDDEN AND MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CAN RESULT IN ERRATIC MOVEMENTS IN HANDLING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN THE PARK POSITION, IT STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT IT STALLED AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE AIR IDLE CONTROL VALVE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BACK IN MAY OF 2016, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,300.

WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY, I FELT MY CAR SHIFT AS IF THE WHEEL HAD SLIPPED, THIS OCCURRED MANY TIMES AFTER MAKING A TURN. I RECENTLY HAD WORK DONE TO THE FRONT (STRUT, TIE ROD, KNUCKLE, BALL JOINT) AND AM ALSO IN NEED OF A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I WONDERED IF THIS WAS WHY, SO I CALLED THE MECHANIC BACK, BUT HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY TIRES. HOWEVER THERE IS STILL A FAIR AMOUNT OF TREAD ON MY TIRES, SO I AM NOT SURE IF THATS REALLY TRUE. NEXT THING I KNOW, MY CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF NOWHERE AND WAS ALMOST LIKE DRIVING ITSELF AT 20MPH (THE SPEED IT WAS STUCK ON EVEN AFTER SLOWING DOWN). ALSO WHILE ON THE HIGH WAY IT DID THE SAME THING-- ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND JERKED TO THE RIGHT. I HAD TO PRETTY MUCH HURRY AND CATCH THE WHEEL BEFORE SLAMMING INTO ANOTHER CAR WHILE ON A TURN AND GOING ABOUT 55MPH. AT RANDOM TIMES IT WILL ACCELERATE AND PRETTY MUCH DRIVE ITSELF WHILE I AM DRIVING. I TYPICALLY HAVE TO APPLY PLENTY OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING WHILE I AM STOPPED. ALSO I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH OVERHEATING. IF I IDLE TOO LONG THE CAR WILL OVERHEAT, EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS FULL. EVEN WITH ADDING MORE IN, THE TANK STAYS WHERE IT IS, IT DOESN'T OVERFLOW. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE CAR IS JUST DRINKING IT BUT IT'S NOT FILTERING THROUGH THE HOSE IF THAT MAKES SENSE. LASTLY, THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO TURN ON THIS EVENING, AFTER ABOUT THE 5TH TIME I HELD IT LONGER THAN USUAL AND IT FINALLY PUTTERED TO LIFE RELUCTANTLY. I DON'T FEEL VERY SAFE IN THIS TRUCK ANYMORE.

MY LIGHT INSIDE OF VEHICLE COMES ON AND STAY FOR A WHILE, THEN GOES OFF, THEN ABOUT A MONTH LATER DO THE SAME.I WENT TO A DEALER, HE SAID TO FIX IT WOULD BE A CERTAIN AMONT, BUT I TOLD HIM NOT TO FIX IT CAUSE I DIDN' HAVE THE MONEY, SO HE CHARGED ME ABOUT $130.00 FOR CHECKING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHEN THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 178,000. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED TRADED IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DEFECT. *TR

RECALL FOR MY AIRBAG WAS NOT DONE. BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.

WHEN SLOWING OR IDLING THE CAR WILL STALL AND COME TO A STOP, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. AS THE CAR STALLS IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT, ETC). THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND HAS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP WHILE TRYING TO TAKE AN EXIT ON THE HIGHWAY.

AT AROUND 80,000 MILES A BRAKE LINE RUPTURED WHILE MY WIFE WAS BRAKING TO AVOID A TRUCK THAT HAD CUT IN FRONT OF HER. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED. THE TUCSON EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE DRIVER'S FRONT BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A QUALIFIED MECHANIC. WE'VE NOW REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES HOWEVER NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY AND DOES NOT STOP AS WELL.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. STATIONARY AND MOVING

RUST ON THE LEFT REAR FRAME THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE IS FAILS, I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE WHEN THIS PART OF FRAME FAILS. HYUNDAI HAS YEARS OF RUST PROBLEMS THAT THEY DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO FIX AT THE DEALER LEVEL OR THE MANUFACTURING LEVEL UNLESS YOU HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS OR PAY FOR RUST PROOFING AT YOUR EXPENSE WHEN YOU BUY THE CAR, THEY NEED A GOOD FINE SLAPPED ON THEM TO WAKE THEM UP, MAYBE THEN THEY WILL STOP MAKING CARS THAT THEY WHAT YOU TO SCRAP AFTER 11 YEARS AND 144,000 MILES. THIS CAR WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT, BY THE BOOK AND THE BOOK AND THE DEALER SHOULD WARN THAT RUST NOT LACK OF SERVICE WILL CAUSE IT TO FAIL. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE RUST PARADE COMING FROM KOREA. LOOK UP HYUNDAI RUST PROBLEMS, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER 16 YEAR TIME PERIOD, MAKE THEM REPAIR THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE AND MAYBE FIGURE OUT HAVE TO PREVENT IT BEFORE IT DOES SOME REAL HARM TO THE PUBLIC.

STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE ILLUMINATION OF THE "ESC" (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) INDICATOR LAMP IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO STAY ON.

ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT IS THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2008 TUCSON AND THE REPAIR RECEIPT OF 5/23/13. I INQUIRED ON 6/25/2017 AS TO WHETHER THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2006 TUCSON I OWN AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NOT AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS CONDITION. IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT THIS ISSUE ALSO AFFECTS 2006 HYUNDAI MODELS ALSO. I AM REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN OPENING AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING MY 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON AND FOR THIS MODEL TO BE INCLUDED IN THE AFFECTED GROUP AND FOR HYUNDAI TO CORRECT THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE.

I PUT IT IN PARKING, AND THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND MOVES SLOWLY. THIS HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY DROVE THE CAR AND TSAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

STARTED IN DEC 2015 HAD PROBLEM STARTING CAR. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THEN DIED. FINALLY STARTED TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. AFTER A WEEK SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, I WAS TOLD TO PRESS ON THE GAS FOR A WHILE. WORKED, HOWEVER THREE MONTHS LATER, TRY TO START CAR ALL LIGHTS CAME ON THEN DIED.

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.

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.
