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.

11/23/2015

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

12/12/2014

THE VEHICLE SITS IDLE FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND THE BATTERY IS TOTALLY DRAINED. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE TWICE AND CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED TWICE WITH NO SOLUTION. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE MAY OPERATE PROPERLY FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT IF IT SITS MORE THAN TWO OR THREE DAYS THE BATTERY IS DRAINED. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION. SEARCHES FOR THIS PROBLEM HAVE REVEALED SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A DARK GARAGE AND OBSERVATION OF THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWN THAT NO SYSTEMS WERE LEFT ON BY THE DRIVER.

2014 HYUNDAI TUSCON HAD ENGINE REPLACED & STILL BURNING OIL EMITTING BLUE SMOKE & KNOCKING. DEALERSHIP & HYUNDAI CORP HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED & HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

3/16/2020

AT THE END ON 2020 THE BACK PASSENGER ON THE LEFT SIDE STOPPED WORKING. THIS DOOR WAS NEVER USED MAYBE ONCE EVERY 6 MONTHS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT THIS MODEL. SINCE THE BACK SEAT AND DON'T USE DIDN'T WORRY TOO MUCH. NOW MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE AND AGAIN YOU SEE DAILY REPORTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IF MY CHILD IS IN MY BACKS SEAT AND 2 OF THE DOORS DON'T OPEN IT'S HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IN AN EMERGENCY. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS ANOTHER DOOR GOES OUT AND WERE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. I HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD OF CAR DOOR GOING OUT THAT IS NEVER USED AND SINCE BOTH WENT OUT IT'S VERY CLEAR BASED ON MANY OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE THAT THIS IS A PRODUCT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR. IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE FOR MY MODEL YOU WILL SEE COUNTLESS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

ON SUNDAY I WAS AT A FLAT DIRT LOT AT A BOAT RAMP... AFTER MY FISHING TRIP I HOPPED INTO THE CAR PUT IT IN REVERSE... BACKED OUT OF MY SPOT CAREFUL TO LOOK BEHIND AT ALL THE TRAILERS AROUND ME... STOPPED AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE... THE BACKUP CAMERA TURNED OFF AND THE D LIT UP ON THE DASH... I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WENT IN REVERSE... RIGHT INTO AN EMPTY TRAILER I HAD BEEN SO CAREFUL TO AVOID IN THE FIRST PLACE. THANKFULLY NO DAMAGE HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK TOWING THE TRAILER OR THE STEEL FRAMED BOAT TRAILER ITSELF, BUT I HAVE A LARGE DENT IN THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE BUMPER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT ALL DAY ON TUESDAY AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. SO BASICALLY I AM STUCK WITH A LARGE DENT AND NO FIX... THEN THIS MORNING (FRIDAY) I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AT HOME... AGAIN A FLAT LOT ONLY THIS TIME ITS PAVED... AND AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE IT AGAIN WAS STUCK IN REVERSE... I HAD TO STOP PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO WORK. SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!! THIS CAN POTENTIALLY BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE IS BEHIND THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS AND THE BRAKES AREN'T APPLIED FAST ENOUGH.

7/15/2016

PURCHASED AS SECOND OWNER ON 8/18/16, MILEAGE WAS 21,7946. ON 03/16/18, WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH WHEN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP, NO POWER. TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALER, WAS TOLD CRANKSHAFT SEIZED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACED. MILEAGE WAS 70,702 AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS 702 MILES OVER. PAID $4000 FOR A USED MOTOR. GOT A LETTER RECENTLY TELLING ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SOFTWARE, AND IN LOOKING I UP DISCOVERED THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THIS MOTOR.

4/11/2019

STAINLESS STEEL FUEL TUBE REPLACED FOR SECOND TIME IN 15 MONTHS; FIRST TIME WHEN ENGINE BLEW (PISTON CAME APART) AND SECOND TIME 2 DAYS AFTER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT DEALERSHIP (EFI SERVICE). FUEL LEAK DEVELOPED WHEN FUEL PUMP RUNNING AS CAR BEING DRIVEN AT 70 MPH. STRONG FUEL SMELL IN VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND FUEL WAS RUNNING OUT AT RAPID RATE. CAR STARTED TO STALL ON INTERSTATE 10 W BETWEEN HOUSTON AND SAN ANTONIO. I WOULD LIKE A RECORD OF THIS OCCURRENCE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF PART IS DEFECTIVE OR MECHANIC AT FAULT. THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT I HAVE FILED IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE. THE PART NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FUEL TUBE IS 35305-2G700. THE FIRST REPORT WAS WHEN THE ENGINE BLEW NOVEMBER 2015 WHILE COMING OFF I-57S IN BOURBONNAIS, ILLINOIS. THAT REPORT NUMBER IS 10807620. 3 INVOICES OF REPAIRS SHOULD BE ATTACHED.

4/2/2017

BOUGHT CAR IN DEC 2017. JULY 8, 2018, CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. NO ISSUES BEFORE THIS EVENT. NO WARNING, CARE JUST WENT UP IN FLAMES STARTING FROM UNDER THE CAR/THE ENGINE. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS OF HYUNDAI CARS, BUT THEY DO NOT INCLUDE HYUNDAI TUSCONS. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE DUE TO THIS CAR.

7/9/2018

DRIVING IN DRY CONDITIONS AND STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH 3200 MILES. BOUGHT BRAND NEW 3 MONTHS AGO IN MARCH 2014. *TR

5/28/2014

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BECAME SO LOOSE I HAD TO TOLD THE WHEEL VERY STILL BECAUSE IF YOU TOUCHED SLIGHTLY THE CAR WOULD SWERVE EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN CORRECT ITSELF. THIS HAPPENED ANY TIMES - THEN LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON - THE AIR PRESSURE, BATTERY AND ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STEERING LIGHT. THE NEXT DAY EVERYTHING WAS FINE NO LIGHTS - THEN THE STEERING WENT LOOSE AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD SEE THE CAR FOR A WEEK. ANOTHER HAD ME COME IN THE NEXT DAY BUT WAS TOLD THE CAR DID SHOW THE LIGHTS SO THEY CLEARED THE COMPUTER AND RESET IT BUT THEY COULD DO NOTHING MORE UNLESS THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I COULD BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS NO SOONER OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THE STEERING WENT AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON - I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK - JUST I GOT THERE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE STEERING WAS NORMAL SO I DID NOT GO BACK IN. IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED. IN THE MEANTIME, NO ONE HAS A LOANER CAR AND THIS IS THE ONLY CAR WE HAVE. I WILL GO BACK NEXT WEEK FOR FURTHER OBSERVATION. *TR

8/29/2014

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT IS RANDOM AND DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN SLOWING DOWN GOING DOWN HILLS OR WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN IT HAPPENS MY FOOT IS ALWAYS ON THE BREAK, EITHER SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING, AND THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR. THE RPM'S WILL JUMP FROM IDLE TO 3000. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO STOP IS BY LETTING OFF THE BREAK AND PRESSING DOWN ON THE BREAK AGAIN, THIS SOMETIMES TAKES A COUPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO STOP. THANKFULLY I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT IT IS VERY SCARY. I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES.

3/21/2021

DRIVING NORMALLY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AND CANT GET VEHICLE MOVING AT ATTEMPTED SPEED. VEHICLE SHAKES A BIT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN OIL LIGHT COMES ON.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON GLS FROM MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, I NOTICED A STRONG VIBRATION THAT SEEMED TO COME FROM UNBALANCED TIRES. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THEY FOUND IT WAS UNBALANCED AND PROCEEDED TO BALANCE THE CAR. HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I STILL NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN I DROVE THE CAR, AND IT WAS ESPECIALLY BAD AT 50MPH. I TOOK IT BACK FOR A SECOND TIME TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY BALANCED THE CAR AGAIN, BUT ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT. AGAIN, BALANCING THE TIRES MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME AND RODE IN THE CAR WITH THE LEAD MECHANIC AT THAT LOCATION. HE ALSO NOTICED THE VIBRATION AND ASKED I LEAVE THE CAR WITH HIM. HE THEN TESTED ONE OF THE OTHER TUCSONS ON THEIR LOT THAT WAS THE SAME TRIM MODEL AND HAD THE SAME TIRES. HE REQUESTED I GO WITH HIM IN THAT CAR, AND WE FELT THE SAME VIBRATION AS IN MY CAR. HE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. ON COLD MORNINGS, THE CAR VIBRATES SO BADLY IT CHATTERS MY TEETH AND FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL ONLY CONTINUE GET WORSE WITH TIME, CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS A GREAT WARRANTY, I STILL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT AND AM RELUCTANT TO TAKE IT ON LONG TRIPS. I CURRENTLY HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH HYUNDAI MOTORS USA. THE CASE WAS OPENED IN MARCH OF 2014 AND HYUNDAI FEELS IT CAN BE SOLVED BY REPLACING THE TIRES. I HAVE NOT DONE THAT YET AS THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME COUPONS FOR THE FULL PRICE OF THE TIRES. THE VIBRATION HAS STARTED TO GROW NOTICEABLY WORSE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR BOTH MY SAFETY AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME CAR. *TR

7/22/2014

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2014. WITHIN 500 MILE I NOTICED A STRONG VIBRATION IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. MORE ACCURATELY IT WAS A BOUNCING (UP AND DOWN) OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT VERIFIED THAT THE CONDITION EXISTED. THEY ROTATED AND BALANCE THE TIRES SEVERAL TIMES. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED A DRIVE SHAFT. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED MY WHEELS AND TIRES WITH A SET FROM ANOTHER 2014 TUCSON. AGAIN, NO CHANGE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT A VERY PRONOUNCED BOUNCE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER. I RETURNED TO MY DEALER AND REQUESTED TO TAKE ANOTHER 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON FOR A TEST DRIVE. THIS VEHICLE HAD THE SAME BOUNCE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND INFORMED THEM THAT MULTIPLE TUCSONS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HYUNDAI'S ANSWER WAS THAT IT MUST BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THAT CLOSED THE CASE AS FAR AS HYUNDAI WAS CONCERNED. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNSAFE "CHARACTERISTIC" AND DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI OR ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER WOULD DESIGN A VEHICLE WITH A BOUNCE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOME SORT OF ACCIDENT TAKES PLACE. THIS FRONT SUSPENSION BOUNCE MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER SUCH AS RAIN, SNOW AND ICY ROAD CONDITIONS. HYUNDAI HAS CLOSED THE CASE AND REFUSES TO RE-OPEN IT OR PERFORM ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THEIR DETERMINATION THAT THIS IS A VEHICLE "CHARACTERISTIC" IS BASED ON THE DRIVING OF 2 VEHICLES. I BELIEVE AN UNSAFE CONDITION LIKE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. HYUNDAI IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *JS

2/6/2015

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD TRAVEL OVER BUMPS AND POT HOLES VERY ROUGHLY. THE PROBLEM RECURRED TWENTY TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

AS WE EXITED THE FREEWAY, WE STOPPED AT THE SIGN, WAITED FOR TWO CARS, PROCEEDED TO GO AND AS WE WERE ALMOST TURNED INTO OUR LANE I LOOKED AND SAW A CAR SPEEDING UP AND HIT US GOING AROUND 50 MPH, SHE DIDN'T BRAKE AND ENDED UP SWERVING A LITTLE TO THE LEFT AS SHE DRUG OUR BIKE WE WERE EJECTED ACROSS THE ROAD AND ALMOST DIED WITH SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING INJURIES

12/2/2017

The actuator malfunctioned on the back driver side door, and it is not able to be opened from the outside or inside. Poses a safety risk because passengers in the back seat behind the driver would not be able to exit the car quickly in case of emergency. There were no warning lights, went to open the door and it would not open. I have not had it inspected by a dealer. Vehicle is available for inspection if needed.

11/20/2023

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,800.

There has not been an incident but the air bag warning lamp has been on since I bought the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the Hyundai authorized dealers so they could check it and they said they found nothing wrong but they cannot get the warning light removed. I am afraid that if I get in an accident the air bags will fail.

NOTE: THERE ARE TWO SUNROOFS ON THIS VEHICLE; ONE FORWARD, OVER THE TWO FRONT SEATS, AND THE OTHER OVER THE BACK SEAT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE FORWARD SUNROOF EXPLODED - GLASS FLYING EVERYWHERE - THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT. I CAN'T BELIEVE MY HEAD AND FACE WERE NOT CUT AND BLEEDING. THE POSSIBILITY OF ROCKS BEING THROWN FROM SOMEONE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS NIL: NO ONE WAS THERE. NEARBY VEHICLES WERE NOT FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO ALLOW THE NECESSARY TRAJECTORY FOR A ROCK SENT AIRBORNE FROM THEIR VEHICLES' TIRES TO LAND ON THE ROOF OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NO EXPLANATION OR REASON AS TO HOW OR WHY THIS HAPPENED. NOW I'M OUT $500.00 FOR MY DEDUCTIBLE, FOR SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN. *JS

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,236.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN THE OUTSIDE LANE ONTO THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE. JUST BEFORE I COMPLETED THE TURN MY VEHICLE SWUNG WIDE TO THE RIGHT AND ACCELERATED, THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL BRAKED AND LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SPIN ON THAT TIRE. WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP I WAS FACING THE DIRECTION I HAD COME. FORTUNATELY OTHER CARS WERE ABLE TO AVOID ME AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE WAY. IT SEEMS THIS MODEL HAD A KNOWN ISSUE IN 2005. (I DID SOME RESEARCH WHEN I GOT HOME AND STOPPED TREMBLING.) I CANNOT FIND WHERE ANYONE HAS REPORTED THIS ISSUE YET. THIS IS A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I'M VERY LUCKY AND SO ARE THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD WITH ME.

4/24/2016

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR IN THE DRIVERS SEAT DOESN'T WORK. SEAT WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT IS STUCK. WE WERE TOLD THE MOTOR IS SHOT. WE PUT IN DIFFERENT FUSES AND HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT WITH NO LUCK.
