Re: Hyundai Tucson 2006 Stalling and Idling Problem [amw84]
This sounds like what my 2006 Tucson was doing also with the addition of it turning off when being put into reverse as well as when going forward. It would happen randomly and was really scary not knowing when my car would turn off without warning. The first time I took it in they couldn't figure it out but luckily the second time there were codes in the system since the ... Read More

They said I need fuel injectors, that may be the problem...cost be $200- ...it wasn't the problem bc it still does it randomly. recently when I use the auto start it will shut off ... Read More

Hyundai Tucson 2006 Stalling and Idling Problem
I thought I'd post on here to see if someone can help me, since I've taken my car in three times to an autoshop and they are unable to find any issues. My car was due for inspection and oil change last Monday. It just so happened that the Thursday and Sunday prior, it randomly stalled when I was at the stop light/ stop sign. It only did it once each ... Read More

Battery drain in 05 Tucson solution
I have a 2005 Tucson GLS V6, and like so many others, I have had the battery drain issue. The first two times it was under warranty. The second two times I had to pay for the battery replacement. The dealers both in CA and IL always said silly things like I must have left the lights on, etc. I *always* turn everything off (lights, radio, AC, etc.) whenever I turn ... Read More

Has anyone other than me had their car transmission go 4 times in 5 years??? That's my story, the latest breakdown was June 25, 2011.

Switch out the standard for the CD Changer
I'm about to buy a 2006 Hyundai Tucson. The one I'm looking at just has the basic CD player radio. Does any one know.. If I were to buy the cd changer model on ebay, can I just switch them out? Are all the wires/plugs on the back the same? I dont know a great deal about wiring, so I'd prefer something that's plug and play. Thanks!

Re: 2007 Tucson Question [guyfr]

Re: price quote-is it a good one or do I dicker [rxcapt]
Your point about the Hyundai rate is a great point and is what caused the problem for me at Herb Connolly when I was negotiating on the 2006 Tucson Limited. I have a loan commitment for 5%, and the Hyundai rate was quite a bit higher. I was financing over five years and estimated that the Hyundai rate would cost me about $750 extra over that time, thus reducing the $1k ... Read More

2006 Tucson Limited Pricing
I was able to get a price of $21,800 (including $1k rebate to finance through Hyundai but before title & taxes) on a fully loaded 2006 Tucson Limited with accessory package 3 (sunroof) at Clay Hyundai in Newton, MA. I did not qualify for the loyalty rebate. They were absolutely great to deal with - very friendly, cooperative, worked easily over the phone. I highly recommend giving them a call. My ... Read More

2006
The '06 Tucson has some new standard features according to the Hyundai website. The GLS and Limited gain a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Also, the Limited has an Automatic Temperature Control system, electronic auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, and new 16" 5-spoke wheels. Stated before, the Limited comes with the bodycolor cladding, and the GLS has the gray bodyside cladding. :) Hope this helps.

Thanks for confirming the body cladding. Also, it's great to hear some new info about the 2006. I wonder why Hyundai is not making the Tucson LX available in all colors?
Hyundai Tucson Prices Paid and Buying Experience

New Owner
Monday night we contributed our bit to the overall economy, purchasing a 2005, Mesa Red Tucson GLS V6 at Antwerpin Hyundai in Clarksville, MD. First new car in my 42-year driving experience. Of course, I only get to see it when my wife parks it in the driveway. Outside of the test drive, my only time behind the wheel came on the 10.8-mile drive from the dealer to home... ;). Our ...

Re: Fuel warning light and # of miles to run [csuv]
Its difficult to determine if any purchase price savings occur on the Canadian Tucson due to the side airbag unavailability - pricing differences are more complex than a straight currency conversion. However it is unacceptable that Hyundai would consider safety to be less of an issue to the Canadian market, and its keeping me from buying one. I'll probably end up with a CR-V if the 2006 Tucson doesn't have side ... Read More

Re: Product placement? [dovid2]
Tucson has arrived - so far, I think it's Hyundai's (pronounced Sundays) greatest car. Just my opinion, of course. I loved my 2003 Sonata, but the facts are these: The disk brakes needed resurfacing twice in 23,000 miles, once under wty and once considered wear and tear. Coming back from a ski trip in New Hampshire with sub-zero weather, the heaters weren't working properly, and my companion was freezing, since on ... Read More

New Engines for 2006?
From what I have been reading it appears that Hyundai will be coming out with their new 4 cylinder (2.0 & 2.4) and 6 cylinder (3.3 & 3.8) engines next year. If this is true, will the Tucson get the 3.3L for the 2006 MY? If so, it may pay to wait until next year to get a Tucson, as I understand the 3.3 will be much better than the 2.7. ... Read More
