| My 2005 hyundai tucson (2.7l v-6 4wd) has for the last 1.5 years has been: 1.stalling out 2. running very rough with no power (especially when raining or after several days of rain) 3. cranks over but doesn't start 4. engine quits running on highway (leaving us stranded on route i-80). all intermittently! i have had the car in a repair shop where they replaced the ignition coil pack assembly (6/2011). then it failed again but not long enough to get something diagnosed, so i drove it just knowing someday it was going to happen again. finally it failed again (1/1/2012) this time long enough for me to get the code/s from the ecm. it had a hard crankshaft position sensor failure. then it ran fine. i replaced the crankshaft position sensor and upon removal and inspection the sensors three wires were bare. the outer insulation covering all three wires was not only gone but the individual wire insulation was also missing (about 3 of bare copper wire). a quick look of some websites turned up photos of four other crankshaft position sensors that looked the same (missing insulation/ wires shorting) all coming from hyundai tucson's. in my opinion this is a very very dangerous situation. looking at other ntsb complaints for 05, 06 tucson's turns up nearly 60 other stalling engine; running rough; engine cuts off; type complaints | |||

| 1/6/09 while driving the tuscon began to feel hesitant with slow acceleration and stalled while i was turning across traffic and malfunction light came on. tow was required to the dealer where the tps sensor assembly was replaced. mileage was 50209. i purchased my tuscon new in 9/2005 and since 12/05 i had the car in the dealer for malfunction light six times. on 4/26/2009 while traveling on the nj turnpike the tuscan began to operate in the same manner as in 1/09 , and thankfully, i was able to pull over to the shoulder before the tuscon stalled and caused a major accident. i was towed to a hotel, and the next day towed again to a nj dealer where the sensor assy-air flow and sensor assy oxygen lh were replaced. mileage 53401. i drove 150 miles to home, and the malfunction light came on again. i took the car to my regular dealer said the code was found for cylinder # 5 misfire, e ngire not misfiring at this time . i contacted the hyundai consumer assistance center and reported all of the above to them (three calls were made) i was told i would hear back from them last night, but have not. i travel on high speed/traffic roadways often and now i am concerned for the safety of my passengers, drivers/passengers in other cars and my own. i am i to know if the car is going to stall again, and if i am aware of a change in it's operation how i can feel safe not knowing if i will be able to pull to the shoulder before this happens. *tr | |||
