  I have two Hyundai vehicles with the 100,000 mile warranty. ... I have only had one problem, the transmission went out on my Tucson at 17,000 miles and again at 70,000. The first time they went out of their way to replace it, but the second time I was stonewalled. .. .. They told me various things, like I drove it hard, and also they looked at the tow hitch and ...

  Sounds like time to find out how strong that Warranty is. Difficult enough to get satisfaction on a new vehicle let alone a used one.

  Mine is a 2011 Tucson. There is no racing engine, but 2 sensor lights- the uphill grade goes on in red and the traction goes on in yellow, when I stop the car and try to go from neutral to park it will not go past neutral.

  2010 Hyundai Tucson from hell. New transmission installed at 20K miles then brake switch at 31K and now the speedometer broke and engine is on. You can feel the transmission is acting up again and its jumping as you speed up. Its going back to the shop tomorrow and I'm done. I've read way too many problems on the internet about this car and cannot tell you my disappointment .

  My transmission died at 20K miles on my 2010 Tucson. The only answer they could give, "a flaw." It now has 31K and is going back into the shop tomorrow because its not shifting correctly. The traction light comes on when its in park and it will not come out of park. Its a lemon to me at this point and I'll never buy another Hyundai again.

  So just how many vehicles is "known for transmission problems" or "listen to all the problems with 2010-2011 models"? A forum of a small group of owners (and many trolls) is hardly a gauge of how many problems there are with a model or manufacturer. One person posts an issue and it's blown into a catastrophe. Fact is it's a very small percentage of the total number of owners.

  Hyundai has a compatibility log for the phones they KNOW work. Verizon tech. found it on the web for me. Look at that spreadsheet and you will know what phone you need to buy to work with your Tucson. The spreadsheet is about 20 pages long and covers all provider phones. I have to buy a new phone.

  I live in the Richmond VA market and the dealers here have marked them up $1500 so they are way over priced. I guess as Hyundai's quality goes up so have their prices, but then again their prices seem to still be competitive. If anyone finds a great deal in the VA or surrounding market please post your experience.
