| 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 | |||

| While turning into my carport, my engine stalled. right before i turned, i took my foot off the accelerator and the car hesitated and lurched forward. this could be a potentially dangerous problem if my car stalls on the road and some other driver rear ends me. | |||

| Crankshaft balancer/pulley separation causes serpentine belt failure and loss of power steering. the crankshaft pulley on several hyundai models with the 2.7 liter engine appears to have a high failure rate. the pulley is made of an inner and outer metal rings joined with an elastomeric compound. when the elastomeric compound fails the outer ring slips and works off the inner pulley causing the serpentine belt to bind against the engine block a or accessory mounting brackets resulting in a catastrophic failure. in all cases the failure results in a loss of drive to all accessories including the power steering pump. i have found numerous articles/blogs about this issue including this video on youtube www.youtube.com /watch?v=x5kzz1tmj8y . | |||
