Head Rest Woes

My wife just bought a 2007 GLS automatic and likes it fine so far except for one issue. She is short - 4' 11" and likes the seat back quite upright. This pushes her head forward in an attitude of prayer. Obviously she doesn't want to pray full time. It is OK if the seat is tilted back some but that doesn't suit her. The rest is adjustable and we have it all the way back. We finally pulled the rest out and turned it around to get by. I pulled the head rest out of our '03 Elantra (non-adjustable) which has the same mounting and tried it in the Tuscon and it is fine for her. It seems that Hyundai in trying to limit head travel in a rearender has gone overboard with this design.

No, they weren't going to refund her anything, and they wanted her to pay them $500.00. They said that the way they calculated everything, my mom would owe them $500..So she would be out the car, out $500 cash from her pocket, and no money to use as a down payment on another car. She can't afford that..It just doesn't seem right..

I think we're (the readers) missing something here. Let your lawyer do his job and let us know how it goes. Good luck!

That's what the lawyer worked out with Hyundai. Then the lawyer was let go and then his replacement quit, and then his replacement left.
Basically we are now stuck with a crap car.. and no lawyer.

I hope bucster47 sees this message to reply. What was the cause of your ESC problem? I have a 2005 KIA Sportage with the same problem. My "Traction Off" light would come on intermittently in hot weather and never in the winter. It also never came on when the dealer checked it out. I plan on driving to the dealer when it happens again and let them check the error code while the light is on. I'm in Iraq at the moment and my wife says she hasn't seen the light come on this summer. It's probably a traction sensor but I started wondering if the traction control worked fine and perhaps it's actually a faulty dash light? Once again, it never came on except in hot weather.

Working just off of product cycle lengths, a complete redesign is due in a year or two, so we're looking at the '09 or '10 model-year. So far, there haven't been any prototypes spotted testing, so it's likely the latter. Because nothing has been seen or officially announced about the vehicle, it's next to impossible to determine just what we'll get. It will stay car-based, and probably remain FWD/AWD, but we may, for the first time, get a diesel engine choice in the US.
Below I've added an A3-based chop. There's nothing authoritative about the design, of course, but I thought it might be fun to post.

I bought a Tucson 07 in January. Caught fire recently. The investigator claimed that "possible cause" of fire could have been debris caught by the car before parking. Maybe it picked up a paper bag or tumbleweed on the road.
And is listing the official cause as such. However is not ruling out fuel return line. It was burned beyond inspection. The Tucson is repairable according to Hyundai. It's just that they will not take the responsibility of admitting that the Tucson has a problem. Be careful. I have not yet begun to fight.

My Tucson that is 1&1/2 years has been giving me engine trouble. First the dealers thought the head gasket went bad but now they're thinking that the cylinder head is cracked. They've ordered the replacement part but should I be having these problems with a vehicle under 3years old?

No, you should not be having problems; however, no make of vehicle is always 100% perfect. This could happen to any vehicle, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Honda...whoever. As long as you are covered by the warranty, I am hoping your problem will be taken care of. Are they giving you a loaner???

Warranty only for 1 year. I am currently using a loaner they gave me but it's a far cry from what I was accustom to driving.
Even if not under warranty I would think they I should not bear the full cost of the repairs.
And I was wondering if anyone else has had that type of problem with their Tucson before.
