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.

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.

Replying to: sandypath1 (Jan 21, 2007 7:46 am) Yes, it is disconcerting but just because you weren't able to find a "mysterious object" should not be construed to mean that either the gas tank or the object is fragile. A collision between a multi-ton vehicle and a solid 6 inch object at even at "slow speed" can move such an object a very considerable distance off the road. It would have been truly catastrophic had the gasoline ignited and we're glad that did not happen! tidester, host |

I have a subaru Forester and am thinking about also geting a Tuscon. I mainly drive at 75mph on the highway. I feel the Forester is very car like with a low chance of roll over. The Tuscon looks high and prone to tiping. I know it scores as high as the Forester in ins. and govt. roll over tests. Does any one have any views on this.
