| When turning right on a raining day, loss of power - no steering or brakes. 2006 tuscon would run radio would be on - battery light and brake lights on - 10 seconds after managing to get out of traffics way - car would move. hyundai foxed the car by replacing sensors and some other work resulting in over a $1000. prior major service was serpentine belt and chain replacement on service recommendations - had no issues before the chain was replaced. ever since - the transmission had to reset for hesitation between 20 and 40 mph and the additional sensor work. hyundai would not give me any warranty work as my 6 years had just expired. i am taking the car back in tomorrow for the same issue. while driving today in a sudden down pour - the first one since i had the car fixed that i have had to drive in and the incident occurred again except this time i was driving and not turning. water seemed to get under the engine and something is getting wet. i requested a rental car and i am leaving for vacation on saturday to the shore. if its not fixed this time - i may have to consider a new car and i just paid it off. *tr | |||

| I purchased the tuscon used approx. 2.5 months prior to the first incident. after work i went to start my vehicle and it would not crank. i had to have a tow truck come jump my vehicle. i went to an auto parts store and was told the battery was bad. i replaced the battery. the next day, when i went to leave work, the vehicle again would not start. i had to have a jump a second time. i took the vehicle back to an auto parts store and was told the battery was fine, and the alternator was bad. i replaced the alternator. two weeks after replacing the alternator, i again had to have the vehicle jumped. i went to an auto parts store and was told that the alternator, which was brand new, was bad. i contacted the hyundai dealership and was told they have not heard of something causing the alternators to go bad like i was describing. | |||
