We need your help! by tidester HOST

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.

No tucson posts for a while. Well here is one. I have a 2005 LX 4WD . Question is when you alarm the car is'nt a red LED supposed to flash inside the car to indicate that it is armed? I thought it was odd that mine does'nt flash, no LED at all. Can any one answer this for me? The car runs great, no problems at all,gas milage is ok at 16 allcity and 24 all highway. Thats with a k&n air filter and tire pressure at 35 psi. Of course its winter here,temps in the 30's. Don't do much better in the summer.This thing is pretty quiet and a great freeway ride,really good acceleration,not right off the line though.Got 16,000 miles on it.Happy new year to all!!

transmission fluid check by babe915

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!

Is 4WD for real by fbyers

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.

Can you tell me what you meant exactly or why you wrote "the car need more protection under the chassis and the clearance is not enough. Big stone and small rocks may puncture the petrol tank."???? I bought a 2006 Hyundai Tuscon this month. Yesterday while driving at a slow speed, in the daytime driving with no distractions, I heard a thump under my car. I smelled gas and pulled over as gas flowed from under my car. Two fire trucks, the health department and a hazardous spill clean up company, later (the tank was full), I am told my gas tank AND "shield or guard" has a huge rip in it. I pulled over less than a mile from where the "thump" occurred. The trail of gas can be traced to a small chuckhole (less than 6 inches deep), but there are no objects anywhere along either side of the road that entire distance that can be attributed to what turned out to be a catastrophe. Have you ever heard of anything similar happening? I have never damaged a car in my life and drove a spyder which sat so low it could drive into the chuck hole and never had a problem like this. It is terrifying to think the gas tank could be that fragile to be ripped (not punctured) by a mysterious object that no one seen and could not be located.
