| While opening the rear hatch window of my 2005 hyundai tucson, both window hinges broke and the window fell into my hands. the vehicle was parked in the driveway. when i called the dealer he said the hinges were $97. a piece and said he had a lot of them in stock (which leads me to believe this happens a lot more frequently than is reported!) | |||

| I bought my hyundai tuscon brand new back in 2005. last week i noticed a rattling sound coming from the rear windshield and when i went to check it the back windshield almost has fallen out. the latch that holds the windshield in place has corroded completely. i can honestly say that over the 5 years i have owned the vehicle i hardly open the back window. i usually open the entire tailgate when placing items for storage. i have contacted the dealer and hyundai about the issue looking to get the latch replaced and havent heard anything back from them. i have tried on several attempts since i notice the problem. this is dangerous and could cause the windshield to come falling out. | |||

| 25 problems later from purchasing a 2005 hyundai tuscan on 1/2/05 and nothing has been done. i could get into a major accident an hyundai didn't care. i have written numerous complaints , spoken to a supervisor, 1 case manager, and 3 customer service representatives from nhtsa and all i got were empty promises. ongoing problem with espy system-pulsating brakes, losing power, gas pedal locked, and swaying from side to side on the highway/street was no joke. for this not to occur i had to drive with the air conditioner on if not it happened every half and hour. now how would you like an 18 wheeler behind you while this was happening? electronically problems-remote control sometimes worked, doors opened/closed b themselves, doors got stuck, manually opening door it sounded like it was dying, doors locked from inside i had to climb out of the window twice, the car has been reprogram more times then anything, i had 3 multi point inspections, recall 079-remove-replaced air bag control, recall 068 espy-hydraulic control unit (hecu, recall january 2006-espy_electronic stability program, recall 071 july 06, 2005 parking brakes, recall 921 tuscan owners manual, recall 068-8/5/06. mats rolled under brake replaced, brakes slid when it rained, back window wipers made noise when it rained , sun glass holder got stuck even though it was replaced, passenger seat back cracked twice and replaced. i would like to know how many owner tuscan owners suffered like i did without any help, if so email me at justbe_kause@verizon.net i contacted the 1-800 they give on this site and i spoke to a case manager and she wanted me to fax to her all the paper work and forms i have sent out. the total of pages was 52 and it would cost 75.00 to send ,which they did not reimburse, they didn't have a actual address to send the information to, she gave me a file number i got august 1, 06, so i asked where the paper work? *ak | |||

| I have a 2005 hyundai tucson i have several problems with my vehicle none of which the dealer says he can find but before i crash or loose my life i would like fix. today, august 1, 2006, i was traveling down the highway at normal speeds and when i step on the brake to slow down they gave. when i removed my foot they were still pumping by themselves. i pulled off the highway and turned off the car when i turned back the car the ep light stated it was off. then, when it is raining my brakes will lock and i go sliding. the other problem that i have is sometimes my car doors open and sometimes they don't. if i use the alarm they wont budge if i open the door with the key then sometimes the alarm goes off. then sometimes the passenger door and the hatchback door i have to pull hard to open this door. this are the problems the dealer can not seem to find. the other problems he fixed the compartment for my glasses didn't open right from the day i got it, the mats first put in the car used to fold up when driving because they didn't have a latch, the stabilizer light would go on and the passenger and the driver seat latch where the sits go back cracked. all these wonderful things have been occurring from the first day of purchase to now. i traded in my elentra for a suv thinking it would be better but i never had problems like this. *jb | |||
