| During a recent long rain event in the northeast i entered my car to find a 1/2 of sitting water on the passenger side front floor area. the water was trickling from the top portion of the floor mat where it meets the dash. upon removing the glove box and pulling out the cabin filter, i noticed the water coming down through the ac system. dealer looked at the door jams and the hood, and found nothing. no resolution at this time. similar complaint filed on service bulletins. car was parked on a 10 degree angle nose end down. water leak through and near electrical components and near passenger side airbag. loss of airbag integrity with unknown damage if any. mold and mildew damage is a potential heath issue as well. *jb | |||

| The second issue was in regards to water pouring through into the inside of the vehicle from behind the glove box on the passenger side. the first hyundai dealer claimed, as they did with the airbag, that there was nothing wrong after they checked it out. despite having water visible on the passenger mat. after the problem persisted, which only occurred after a long or heavy period of rainfall, i took the vehicle to a second hyundai dealer. they checked the issue and said that they replaced some stripping on the body. the first rain yielded a pouring of water onto the floor and a return to the dealer. the second dealer checked this leak again and this time said they replaced the weather stripping. after the first rainfall after receiving the car back i got into the car to find a puddle of water on the floor and lifted the mat on the passenger side to find a soaked carpet. the soaking led under the divider between the passenger and driver floor area and behind the radio. currently i have returned the vehicle for repairs for a 4th time, meeting the lemon requirement if the problem is not corrected. the dealer has had the vehicle 3 days. on day 2 i was to pickup the vehicle to find that the dashboard was damaged during their repairs and they had to keep the vehicle an extra day to replace the dashboard. i am currently awaiting to get my vehicle back to see if the leak has been fixed or not. but this is a major problem as water leaking through areas with electrical components, especially near a improperly working passenger airbag, may cause all sorts of issues. *jb | |||

| My vehicle was parked in my driveway when i opened the rear hatch. the hinges suddenly disintegrated, busted right off. the rear window fell out striking me. the only way it was being held up and kept from falling to the ground, was by its shocks that keep window up when opened. i see that are numerous reports on this matter from various times. is there some kind of recall on this problem? *tr | |||

| The hinges on the back window hatch of my 2005 hyundai tucson just broke. for no reason, while opening the window, the entire window popped out at me. i was not seriously injured, however you would think that a vehicle of this age would not fail like this. it took me and my husband together pushing to get it back into place and close. i can no longer us the window opening to access the back of my vehicle - until i pay for repairs. i would like to find out if there have been any other complaints of this kind on either the santa fe or the tucson? *tr | |||
