Hyundai Tucson electrical problems

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I ONLY HAD IT LESS THAN A MONTH (NEW). I TRIED TO REMOTE START IT & IT WOULDNT WORK. I WENT OUTSIDE TO START IT & IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER, ALL LIGHTS ON DASH WERE LIT UP. I LIFTED MY HOOD- A SQUIRREL NEST WAS BUILT UNDER HOOD. WIRING HARNESS CHEWED UP, INSULATION UNDER MY HOOD RIPPED OFF, NUMEROUS AREAS OF HARD PLASTIC COVERING MY HEADLIGHT UNDER HOOD AND ALONG INSIDE FRAME OF CAR ALL CHEWED UP. ALL THINGS CHEWED WERE MADE OF SOY BASED MATERIALS.I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, NOT HYUNDAI DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS (3X) W/MY HONDA 2014 CRV THAT'S WHY I GOT RID OF IT. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH HONDA & HYUNDAI "ITS NOT COVERED, IT'S NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, IT'S CAUSED BY OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCES/ RODENTS. USE YOUR AUTO INSURANCE". THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BECAUSE THEY USE SOY WHICH ATTRACTS THESE RODENTS. SOY WIRING HARNESSES SHOULD BE BANNED AND RECALLS INSTITUTED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY EITHER REPLACING THE HARNESSES WITH STANDARD SYNTHETIC NON-EDIBLE POLYMERS AS APPROPRIATE TO THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION, OR PROVIDING COATINGS THAT PROVABLY PREVENT RODENTS FROM CONSUMING THE INSULATION OVER THE LIFESPAN OF THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T EVEN PARK IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY FOR FEAR OF MORE DAMAGE THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR DUE TO THE USE OF SOY. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET CAUSED BY SOY USED BY VARIOUS CAR MAKERS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC 2015 THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHILE I AM DRIVING THE MESSAGE "BATTERY DISCHARGE WARNING! PLEASE USE THE SYSTEM WITH ENGINE RUNNING" AT HYUNDAI OF LOUISVILLE IN DIXIE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. LATEST TIME IT HAPPENED 11/30/17 WHILE DRIVING IT FOR OIL CHANGE TO HYUNDAI OXMOR I ASKED TO HAVE THAT MESSAGE CHECKED THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. THE 3 TIMES I AM DRIVING (HIGHWAY AND STREET), SO THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN IT QUIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER (AUTONATION HYUNDAI MALL OF GEORGIA, 3445 BUFORD GA 30519) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A FUSE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. A FEW MONTHS LATER, WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPOXIMATLY 8,000. *TT UPDATED 8/9/18*JB

BOUGHT THE CAR AT APPROX. 8K MILES. NOW JUST OVER 18K MILES, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 55MPH, DESPITE THE RIMS REVVING TO 5K-6K. THEN LIGHT CAME ON SAYING TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING. STOPPED AND SAT FOR 5 MIN TO GET TO GO AWAY. RESTARTED AND STILL TOOK ABOUT 2-3 MIN TO GET CAR UP TO 75MPH. IN THE CITY, MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE AT STOP LIGHT, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP. RPMS WOULD REV AND REV, BUT NO MOVEMENT UNTIL AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. WAS TOLD WHEN PURCHASED THAT THIS VEHICLE YEAR HAD RECALL THAT WAS FIXED, BUT WHEN WE PUT VIN INTO NHTSA SITE, TOLD IT'S NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL. IT'S POSSIBLE EITHER THE CONTAINMENT OF THE RECALL NET WAS NOT WIDE ENOUGH, OR THE CORRECTIVE ACTION IS NOT YET ADEQUATE. EITHER WAY, MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRUST A NEW CAR TO GO WHEN I PROMPT IT TO. TRANSMISSION IS VERY TOUCHY IN THIS ECO MODEL. I HOPE TO SEE ROBUST CORRECTIVE ACTION BY HYUNDAI, OR A DIFFERENT,SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE POWER TRAIN UTILIZED. OTHERWISE, FOR SAFETY, I SHOULD NOT NEED TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE IT BACK. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I HOPE THAT MORE OF THESE CARS ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NOVEMBER 8 2014 WITH 99 MILES ON IT. WE'VE HAD SEVERE ISSUES WITH IT IN THE LAST YEAR. WE'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH HYUNDAI IN ORDER TO FIX IT. THERE WAS NO SOLUTIONS, JUST "TRY THIS & SEE IF IT WORKS." IN JULY 2016 I STARTED HAVING MEDICAL ISSUES, WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO START. AT FIRST IT WASN'T WANTING TO START & THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, THEY CLAIMED THAT WAS THE ISSUE. SO THAT RECALL WAS PREFORMED AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. LOW AND BEHOLD THE ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED, THE CAR STILL HAD EPISODES WHERE IT WOULD NOT START. THE ISSUE WAS NOT SOMETHING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD RE-CREATE. SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE INHIBITOR SWITCH, AND THAT ALSO HAS NOT WORKED. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN BUT THE CODE IS COMING BACK AS THE PURGE VALVE. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS NO POWER AND FEELS AS IF THE MOTOR COULD DIE AT ANY SECOND. I TRAVEL AWAY ABOUT TWICE A MONTH FOR VARIOUS SPECIALIST DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. MY VEHICLE HAS LEFT ME STRANDED THERE SEVERAL TIMES. I NO LONGER FEEL MY VEHICLE IS SAFE OR DEPENDABLE FOR MYSELF OR ANY OF MY 3 CHILDREN TO BE TRANSPORTED IN IT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI COMPANY DIRECTLY BUT NO RESPONSE FROM THEM AS OF YET. FOR A 2015 MODEL VEHICLE THIS MAY ISSUES IS RIDICULOUS!! MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLE!

I TOOK MY CAR TO JIFFY LUBE ON JULY 8TH TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED ON AUGUST 27TH THAT VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING I FOUND OUT THIS WAS BECAUSE OF LACK OF OIL NEVER AT ANY TIME THAT A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT SOON OR CHECK OIL LIGHT COME ON. AND THEY ARE STILL NOT TO THIS DAY. THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSORS. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT THAT TIME AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP AT NO TIME DID ANY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL LIGHT APPEARED UPON HAVING MY CAR TOWED HOME I FELT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE OIL WAS JUST CHANGED JULY 8TH OF 2017. MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AUGUST 27TH A 2017. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I NEVER GOT A SERVICE ENGINE SOON OR DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE THEN JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI (100 HAVANA ST, AURORA, CO 80010) WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY UPDATED THE ECM SOFTWARE, WHICH SHOULD REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI EACH TIME WHERE THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE MANAGER, WHO FAILED TO ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS AND THEN DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST TAKEN TO EARNHARDT HYUNDAI (10401 PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323 (623) 388-5800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SOFTWARE FAILURE AND THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE HAD TO BE RE-WRITTEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO RODEO HYUNDAI (12925 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388 (623) 214-4100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED FOR THE SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EMAILED THE DEALER A MANUAL ON HOW TO CORRECTLY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,500. UPDATED 09/27/17*LJ *TR
