Can't stick to the road

My wife bought this 2012 Hyundai Tucson AWD new. I only drive it occasionally. Although she likes it, I avoid driving it as much as possible. The gas pedal and the brakes are both touchy, so I have a problem with smooth stopping and starting. The suspension is firm but poorly tuned, so the car hops and jolts if the pavement is the least bit rough. Adding to the control problem is poor damping of the steering, so that the front wheels are kicked left and right by uneven pavement. As a result, when the pavement is the least bit rough, not only does the car hop about, it also has a directional wobble that is difficult and tiring to control. The short wheelbase and top-heavy design don't help matters. On the plus side, the car has nice styling, plus a comfortable and attractive interior. The reliability has been great -- no repairs after 55,000 miles

I switched from my Chevy to the Tucson Because of the comfort of the ride & gas Mileage However the Noise from the road is Very Poor & gas isn't to bad. I bought a used one & have had some steering issues with clucking noises. But the dealers tell me they can't find anything I also have some vibration I thought it was the tires or rims Bought new tires & had Balanced & Alignment done & it's still there. No other front end parts are bad to cause this issues. Stereo sound is good navigation is slow but ok Bluetooth is good location of controls on steering is ok But could be rethought about Over All : it's ok But won't buy another !

I bought my Tucson in November 2013, a month after I had purchased it my problem started...I had not even reached my first oil change and my check engine light was on! I took it to the dealership I bought it from and they hooked it up to their fancy computer and diagnosed the check engine light had came on due to a cylinder misfire. They told me that they would have to do a computer update and that would fix the problem. Long story short I have been back to the dealership on average once a week for the same check engine light to be turned off. I have had a total of 4 computer updates, they have changed my spark plugs and coils two times and I still have the issue! It's been 9 month now!

6 months & 4000 miles later ... All around performance is great. Gas mileage is a bit off the sticker's EPA estimate, but not by much. I wouldn't hesitate in buying another Hyundai.

My only issue I have had is road noise on drivers side. My wife thinks I have hearing problems until she's driving and realizes it is noisy.
