My 2007 Tucson is in the shop right now for the third time since early February with the same electrical problem. I have just under 3,900 miles on this vehicle that I purchased in late October, 2006. The first time they told me I had a defective battery and they replaced it. Twenty days later, when I had it towed in for the second time with the same problem (no electrical power), they said they found a loose connection. On Thursday, April 26 I had to have it towed in again with the same problem. They called me today to tell me that while they could find nothing wrong with it, and had no idea why this was happening, their tech center told them to install a heavier duty battery, which they've had to order. I was told by the serice advisor that they still have no idea what the problem is. As much as I really love this vehicle, it's gotten to a point now where I don't trust it. If it happens one more time I intend to contact the Ohio attorney general's office about invoking the state's Lemon Law.

I just test drove a 07 v6 Tucson It road very nicely. I drive around 32,000 mniles per year. I read in the service manual that the timing belt has to be changed at 60,000 miles. I think that is crazy to have to go through that expense every 60,000 miles. My Forester did not have to have this done till 105,000 miles. If you do not do it and it breaks your 100,000 mile warrenty is void. Poor design from Hyundai

60K timing belt replace, actually, I think that's about right for most vehicles. It's not our fault you put 32k miles per year on a vehicle. That 105k timing belt change seems over the recommended limit even for a Subaru? Besides the cramped rear foot, & legroom, and hard as a board rear seat not even fit for kids, or midgets, in your Forrester is what I call poor design! and they haven't improved these items year, after year, that is the only reason I won't buy one. By the way, I have 40K trouble free miles on my 05' V6 4WD Tucson LX, after trading in my similarly equipped 02' Santa Fe LX with driving it 3 1/2 yrs, and 87k happy, trouble free miles.

Replying to: mikdee (May 11, 2007 5:24 am) On the other hand, my '99 Quest's timing belt is good for 105,000 miles, and it's a non-interference engine, and I've read that some owners are still on the original belt with 200,000+ miles on the van. I'm just 10k miles over for replacing mine.  Except for fluids, I'd just as soon not open my hood for the first 100,000 miles.
