Would appreciate someone explaining this company's warranty in depth.. My grand daughter is interested in their Tuson model, either new or used. She was attempting to explain the warranty to me.Yes I know I can read it at their web site. My need is to understand your understanding of the warranty,. Thanks

Replying to: tjdepere2004 (Sep 28, 2006 10:44 am) In both cases the vehicle comes with a 5 year or 60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty that covers everything that is not deemed as "routine maintenance" items. This would include filters, fluids, brake pads, etc. However these exceptions are covered for the first 12 months or 12,000 miles on new vehicles. Most dealerships will try to push an extended 10 year or 100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty off on new vehicle sales. You will have to weigh the cost vs. benfit(s) of this for yourself. The cost tends to vary widely from around $750 to $1,500. I was offered it for $750 but passed. Be skeptical and make sure that is offered through Hyundai though. If not then it can have all kinds of fine print attached that could easily lead to you inadvertently voiding the coverage. I personally had a 2002 Santa Fe GLS AWD and replaced both front wiper arms and both front brake calipers. The finish on the wiper arms became dull and eventually started to rust. It turned out that only one brake caliper actually was having trouble "sticking", they just guessed at the wrong one first. Regardless, all was done without any charge or hassle. I realize that there are a lot of parts involved in the assembly of any vehicle and something is bound to go bad. This is where I rest at ease knowing that my warranty is there for a long, long time. I have since added a 2005 Elantra GLS for everyday driving and replaced the 2002 Santa Fe with a 2006 Santa Fe GLS 3.5L AWD. I obviously feel confident in the build quality of these vehicles or I wouldn't have bought 3 to date since 2002. |

Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings. To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be. You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here. To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific! Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks. |

I have a new 07 tucson and I was checking the tranny fluid as the manual states, in neutral and warm idle. It looked a little low, so i went to dealer and they checked it. here is the strange part, they told me you are supposed to check fluid level with the engine off [warm ] I showed them the manual tells you to do it with engine running, they said that is wrong. what is the right way plus i called hyundai and they won't give me an answer they told me to go to the dealer what gives!

I just bought a new 2006 4WD V6 Tucson. I really like the car. The owner’s manual states the when the 4WD lock button is pushed. The setup begins to get cancelled when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h and completely releases at 40 km/h. This is only 20 mph to 25 mph. In my opinion this not 4WD. If I am driving on the highway and one of my front tires slips or spins will my rear wheels engage at speeds greater than 25 mph.
