read my post #1362. I am curious as to what was the outcome of your car. Was your gas tank in tact? What did they say happened?? SandyPath1 aol.com

I just picked my vehicle up from the shop. The cause of my problems was that the fuel return line came loose. They reinstalled the fuel line and refilled my tank. Seems to be running all right,although I can't help but watch the road behind me and look under the vehicle when I get out of it. The guy at the desk said he has worked there 3 years and has never seen that happen. I hope it doesn't happen again.!

Hello, well Im glad it was fixed, I have 12455 miles and not a single problem, but have noticed that sometimes the a/c makes a noise when running, but the a/c still works so probably wont take to dealer till it gets worse, I cant hardly even notice because I play my music loud, lol!

i am now getting 20-22mpg around town, here in rural Pa. i was getting 18-20 previously, don't ask me why it has improved? but, I do have over 40k miles on the odometer now. Also, the weather here has been mild between 60-85* Fahrenheit. This is also awhile after a dealer oil change with ordinary Mobil 5-30W oil, not synthetic, or synthetic blend, as I usually use? Haven't tried any long distance hiway drives lately, but if I get 25plus mpg then, I'll shut up. The only mod I've had for quite awhile is a drop in K&N air filter.

I am looking to get an '07 SE, 4WD. Wanted to get some owner's thoughts and opinions on their Tucsons... Board has been dead for awhile.
Anyone used theirs off-road? I.e. moderately deep/loose sand beaches?
Anyone from NC here?

I have a 2006 v6 gls, now over 15k miles and I still love driving my tucson, I have only taken mine on some dirt roads now and again since I dont have 4wd. I find my tucson to be comfortable on long drives, handles well at 75 mph+ I am averaging 20.2 to 20.5 mpg in city and 25-26 mpg on hwy, the rear leg room is excellent for the size of car, drives and handles like a car but a bit higher off the road the way I like, I live in vegas and my tucson has stood up to the extreme heat, and a/c still goes, have not had any problems with mine. I have used my tucson a couple of times to move items and cargo area with fold flat rear seats is nice. I have driven my tucson in a light to moderate snow storm and drove like a champ with no problems.

Are you still having this problem? I just bought a tuscon in Oct. of last year. It is an o5
had only 8500 miles. I have had it in the shop 10 times now and it is back there again
for some kind of electrical problem. If I don't drive it every day, on the third day it is
dead. they replaced the battery and some module but they can not find the problem.
I have been in touch with the Hyundai corp. reg. this. I think it is a lemon and I have
noticed that other tuscon owners are having this problem. I am in agreement for a
recall. Thanks a frustrated Tuscon owner!

Yes, mine was the same, 2006 GLS Tucson. Needed driving daily, or on the 2nd or 3rd day it would be dead. They say the problem is now fixed. We will see.
had it in the shop 4x for same issue, and they think it is a bad stereo unit, which they replaced. seems it would come on while parked, and drain the battery.
my dealer, at 22nd and wilmot in tucson az found some sort of bulletin on it.

bwaller, What happened with that A/C noise? Our 05 Tucson is starting to make a noise with the A/C, I guess its a sort of a slight growl sound that echos the engine revs, and it comes from the vents only when the A/C is on. Did you ever find a fix?

well never did take it in to have it looked at, seemed to stop making the noise, use the ac daily and haven't noticed it, but seemed to make the noise once ac is running for a while on long trips, will have it looked at when i get a chance. its not a big deal to me, because the ac works just fine, so to me its on the low priority list,till the ac goes out, hope you can find a fix.
