| Dt: there is a recall on this vehicle by huyndai however due to the vin number this car is not included. the problem is there is an esp (stability control) which activates one of the wheels and causes the vehicle to swerve in the direction of the braking. in this case, the vehicle locked up and the consumer nearly lost control while driving about 40 mph and the right front wheel and brake locked up. in this incident, these occurred about 3 times. *jb | |||

| I have a 2005 hyundai tuscon gls 4wd. although my dealer had the recall repair on the suspension, this suv still has squeaking noise or abrasion noise coming from the right side of the body while i drive above 80 mph on highway. not everytime, but most time. this noise, followed by some sort of braking really scared me on highway. i had this suv back to dealer twice but they can't fix it. *nm | |||
