| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY 2005 HYUNDAI TUCSON (2.7L V-6 4WD) HAS FOR THE LAST 1.5 YEARS HAS BEEN: 1.STALLING OUT 2. RUNNING VERY ROUGH WITH NO POWER (ESPECIALLY WHEN RAINING OR AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN) 3. CRANKS OVER BUT DOESN'T START 4. ENGINE QUITS RUNNING ON HIGHWAY (LEAVING US STRANDED ON ROUTE I-80). ALL INTERMITTENTLY! I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL PACK ASSEMBLY (6/2011). THEN IT FAILED AGAIN BUT NOT LONG ENOUGH TO GET SOMETHING DIAGNOSED, SO I DROVE IT JUST KNOWING SOMEDAY IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. FINALLY IT FAILED AGAIN (1/1/2012) THIS TIME LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET THE CODE/S FROM THE ECM. IT HAD A HARD CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE. THEN IT RAN FINE. I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND UPON REMOVAL AND INSPECTION THE SENSORS THREE WIRES WERE BARE. THE OUTER INSULATION COVERING ALL THREE WIRES WAS NOT ONLY GONE BUT THE INDIVIDUAL WIRE INSULATION WAS ALSO MISSING (ABOUT 3" OF BARE COPPER WIRE). A QUICK LOOK OF SOME WEBSITES TURNED UP PHOTOS OF FOUR OTHER CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS THAT LOOKED THE SAME (MISSING INSULATION/ WIRES SHORTING) ALL COMING FROM HYUNDAI TUCSON'S. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. LOOKING AT OTHER NTSB COMPLAINTS FOR 05, 06 TUCSON'S TURNS UP NEARLY 60 OTHER STALLING ENGINE; RUNNING ROUGH; ENGINE CUTS OFF; TYPE COMPLAINTS. *TR |
| 2012 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I OWN A HYUNDAI TUCSON 2012. ON DECEMBER 31, 2012, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND REPORTED THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (SUA) (I.E., THE RPM RACED UP TO 4,000 RPMS WHEN AT IDLE AND ACCELERATOR WAS NOT PRESSED). THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE/VERIFY CONCERN. ON NOVEMBER 10, 2013, AGAIN WE EXPRESSED THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME CONCERN; HOWEVER, WE RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE AS ON DECEMBER 31, 2012. THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUA SEVERAL TIMES, THE MOST RECENT ONE LAST NIGHT, WHEN WHILE IN MOTION THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED ITS RPM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUSLY SAFETY CONCERN WHICH HYUNDAI SHOULD ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY BY INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM AND ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL TO ITS CUSTOMERS. PLEASE ADVICE THE ACTION WE SHOULD TAKE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED AND AVOID ANY INJURIES. *TR |
