Today while driving..the power steering went out and we noticed a burning smell...the belt looked ... Read More...

Hey sonotuh. Don't know if you're still having trouble with your transmission...and I don't have any answers for you as yet...but I've experienced exactly the same problem as you. I wasn't able to put my 2006 tucson into reverse. It was like that position was completely blocked by something... All the other gears were fine though...I pushed my car out of the driveway ...

Hyundai Tucson Audio Radio MP3 iPod CD Stereo

Switch out the standard for the CD Changer

Written by: darrelly84 on Feb 01, 2009 08:40 AM

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! 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 ...

It's been 3 days since I cleaned and adjusted the brake switch on my 2006 Tucson (19,255 miles) So far, the "ESC OFF" light has NOT come on. Previously, the ESC OFF light would come on and stay on even if it was a short or long trip. The only way to shut the light off was to stop and turn off the ignition.

2006 Hyundai Tucson ECS light problem

Written by: robare on Aug 18, 2008 11:56 AM

I recently bought a 2006 Tucson and after experiencing the "ECS" light problem I read with great interest the comments posted here. I have a shop manual for the 2006 Tucson and it clearly shows that the brake switch is a dual switch. One set of contacts for the brake lights and one set of contacts for the "ECS" circuitry. The "ECS" contacts are closed until the brake ... Read More...
