  • Electrcal Nightmare.. - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Since purchase I have had nothing but minor problems with this vehicle. The dealer acts like any failure is a complete surprise. Currently am experiencing an electrical problem. Battery goes dead after 3 days not running the vehicle. Dealer has replaced the battery with no positive results. Problem still exists. Inquiries about solutions to the problem have fell on dead ears. No response from Jenkins or Hyundai USA. Hyundai acts like the problem doesnt exist.. Be assured that it does and I will not rest until it is resolved.

  • Not very happy - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I bought my tucson in april of 2006. Its ok gas the avg I get is 22mpg city and highway. But since i have bought the vechile, it has fell apart. I take very good care of my vechile and the ashtray doesnt stay closed(2nd time ive had the problem, sunglass holder doesnt close(1st time problem). The fuel system is not right, it leaks gas out of the evap valve everytime i fill it, it has gone back to hyundai 6 times for the problem and everytime it is something different, they claim it is fixed. I go to fill it and it still does the same thing. Overall its an ok mini-suv but I am not sure with the problems hyundai has given me, if i will ever buy another one.

  • Never again!! - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    This is the biggest piece of junk I have ever bought. I am now going on my 4th fuel pump. The 1st one left me stranded at only 2 weeks old. The last one is only 5 months old and under warranty but now they are telling me its my fault that the fuel pump went out because I got bad gas. so now they want to fix it for 800.00 and no warranty. I will never buy another vehicle from these rude people and they dont stand behind any warranty they give you not to mention I had to replace my tires at 25000 miles, and my arm rest broke. I will tell anyone who listens not to buy a Hynundi its a piece of JUNK!!

  • Problems Galore! **Rebuilt Warranty** - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    My family bought a new 2006 Hyundai Tucson GLS 2.7L 4 speed Automatic in the fall of 2006. We have had it maintained every time at or before 3000 miles or 3 months (It has under 50,000 miles as of now, fall of 2011). When it was 3 years and approx. 30,000 it started having significant problems with the 4WD, transmission, and power steering. Now it has been sitting at the dealer for a month (NO JOKE!) for a ***REBUILT*** transmission to be put in and rear struts that recently started leaking. So far the dealer has not done anything to the car. We will never buy Hyundai again. RAV4 is the replacement SUV!

  • Very Disappointing! Does not accelerate - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    The 2006 Tucson is a very nice looking vehicle, however, there is little power. This vehicle does not accelerate. My wifes Toyota Rav 4 has much more get-up-an go then the Tucson, and is much more quiet. The motor of the Tucson is very loud. If I had a chance to do it again, I wouldnt buy a Tucson.
