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.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, our A/C works fine, too, but the sound is a bit anoying. Well if anyone else has had that A/C noise (a sorta growl or rumble or bass sound from the vents) please lemme know.

We are working on the second battery, the second radio, and have been told everything from there is nothing wrong with it to don't open the door before you turn the car off.. My mother has been made to feel as though she is completely out of her mind everytime she has to have the car towed back in.. There is never anything wrong with it. It is in the shop again. They say the last battery they put in that would fix the problem was the wrong battery. In other words... they don't have a clue..We got a lawyer and filed a lemon law case and the offer they made to my mom was that she pay them $500 and they would take the car back.. The kicker of this whole thing is that her car is a year old with 5300 miles on it. She has been having problems with it since the second week she brought it home. I am at my wits ends.. I am about ready to scream from the top of the roof how bad this car is.. My mom bought this car brand new for the piece of mind of having a new car.. She pays her car payment on time.. Somebody needs to step up and fix this problem..I don't know where else to go for help..

My mother's 2006 Tuscon is a piece of junk.. She has had it in and out of the shop over 20 times since she bought it last year. The problems started a couple of weeks after she got it home. First they said she must have left the lights on.. then. it was the battery.. then it was the radio..then it was there was nothing wrong with it..then the battery.. then you don't drive it enough.. then, you can't open the door before you turn off the engine..It is again in the shop.. now they are saying the last radio they put in was the wrong radio..We hired a lawyer.. the offer was for my mom to pay them (Hyundai) $500.00 and they would take the car back.. All I know is some big wig suit hire up in this company needs to step up and do the right thing for my mother.. Hyundai built a piece of crap in this car..I will not rest until something is done.. I have contacted every local consumer report on t.v and radio in my area and will not quit until somebody helps her. It's ridiculos. My mother's car is a little over a year old with 5300 miles on it..Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
