Hi, I bought a 4 wheel drive 5 gear diesel model and when ever I am driving under 2000revs there is a very bad rattling noise which has been there from the beginning. I took it to the agent in Malta and it seems that I am not the only one with this problem who has this model. They are trying to find the default. Can anybody please help? Read More...

Hyundai Is Not Standing Behind Its Vehicles

Written by: quikglik1 on Jan 19, 2009 08:50 AM

So here's a new situation that I haven't experienced with any of my previous cars (none of them have been Hyundais). As a background, I own a 2006 V6 AWD AT Tucson, bought new. It only has 22,000 miles on it. I've been getting about 18.5 MPG in mostly city driving until about a month ago when, all of a sudden, the mileage, as shown by the car computer, dropped to around ...

If you have a Hyundai Tucson 2005 or later-and are having battery going dead problems-most likely you do have a parasitic drain problem going on-I did-but my dealership denied it at first! they did replace my battery the one time-but after it would sit for a while it went dead also-the radio in my car was faulty-and it would make the computer think that it was on-even ...

I recently had the identical problem this weekend while on a trip from Asheville, NC. My wife's Tucson (2005) lost power at about 75-80 mph when automatically downshifting to go up (what I consider to be) rather inconsequential hills. I could stop the problem by manually upshifting the auto transmission but this (obviously) ends up lugging the engine and, when ... Read More...

Tucson AC problems

Written by: rdillier on Apr 17, 2008 07:39 AM

We own a 2005 Tucson (First new auto for us) and love it generally. However, it's been in the dealer shop for two weeks trying to fix an air conditioning problem. Simply stated, after the AC runs for a while, it begins to "snow" inside the cabin, and then the AC shuts off. They've replaced everything, and called Hyundai USA and Korea about fixes, but the HQ says they've ... Read More...

I purchased a 2005 Hyundai Tucson. It was new when I purchased it. I only have 34, 000 miles on the car and I am on my 2nd set of tires already. Could there be something else wrong with my vehicle? I'm totally frustrated and everyone is telling me that shouldn't have happened. Read More...

Radio draining the battery

I copied this from another place: airflyte, "Hyundai Tucson Maintenance and Repair" #10, 13 Jan 2007 12:57 pm#9 After my Tucson sits for two days, the battery goes dead.

Hyundai Tucson 2007 and 2005

Written by: nancy929 on Dec 10, 2007 03:00 PM

We have 2 Hyundai Tucsons....a 2005 and a 2007. The 2005 finally got the radio replacement that it needed, as the original radio would drain the battery if the car sat for more than 3-4 days. So, the 2005 is finally working and reliable. It was a very frustrating problem for awhile cuz Hyundai refused to recognize the defect. It took my college-age-daughter to demand ... Read More...
