#1363 of 1439 Re: RIPPED FUEL TANK CATASTROPHE [sandypath1] by tidester HOST Jan 21, 2007 (11:44 am)
Replying to: sandypath1 (Jan 21, 2007 8:46 am) 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.   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

Replying to: fbyers (Jan 19, 2007 9:19 pm) Don't worry, you have 4WD, which is FWD, until it senses wheel slip then automatically goes into 4WD. The lock button is to lock all 4 wheels in 4WD only for slow speed conditions when you need extra traction, and you choose to manually engage it.
#1365 of 1439 tuscon question by psfod3 Jan 26, 2007 (8:21 pm)
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.

Replying to: psfod3 (Jan 26, 2007 8:21 pm) I have a 2006 Nautical blue LX V6 auto 4WD and I know the Tucson looks that way, but I've never felt unsafe or top heavy in it, it corners rather well, & sporty IMO, irregardless or the fact that some reviewers say it's a bit soft. I find myself regularly driving it a bit hard on the tight curves, & hills here in rural Pa, as it beckons you to drive it like a sports car. At one time I had considered a Forester, but the hard rear seat, & tight rear legroom was the deal breaker, and the Tuscon seems more roomy for people, & luggage. I drive the highway a lot also, usually 70-80mph, and the Tucson rides like a car, & feels very stable at speed. Replies to this message: psfod3 (Feb 01, 2007 7:15 pm)

#1369 of 1439 cabin air filter by psfod3 Feb 03, 2007 (11:16 pm)
looking at a Tuscon SE. I have allergies and need a cabin air filter I do not see it listed. Does anyone know if this is a option. Replies to this message: joe97 (Feb 04, 2007 4:01 pm) babe915 (Feb 08, 2007 9:06 pm)

Replying to: psfod3 (Feb 03, 2007 11:16 pm) Don't quote me on this but you may have to upgrade to the Limited trim - the system is Hyundai's Air Quality System (AQS), if I recall.
#1371 of 1439 (!) TPMS Question by dirtygirl Feb 04, 2007 (10:07 pm)
The(!) light has come on twice this week. I took it into a mechanic . they said the tires are fine and the pressure has to be close together in each tire. This lasted a day. Then it came on again, late at night. Does the cold weather effect the sensors in the tires even if technically the tires and pressure are fine? Is this a common problem in the winter? The light is driving me bonkers.

Replying to: psfod3 (Feb 03, 2007 11:16 pm) just buy the cabin filter and install it in filter box behind the glove compartment. I did this with my old santa fe
