traction control by jappi

Just got my 2WD 2006 GLS. I love it but have a question. The owner's manual says there is a button for the traction control, but I don't see one anywhere. The salesperson told me that when I was I trying to pull out of snow, I should turn off the ESC.
Does anyone know where the TCS button is?
 
Thanks,

The ESC button is on the left. I spent a whole winter in Quebec with a 2WD 2005 Tucson and never turned it off. It enhance traction by braking a spnning wheel, transferring power to the wheel with some traction.
 
I would never turn it off to pull out of a snow bank....

Warranty work not upheld on cylinder repair by kmorse

My daughter has a new 2006 (I believe)6cyl. Tucson and has had it less than a year and the #5 cylinder is not functioning. She took it in to be repaired and the dealership is not repairing it without her paying for it saying that "bad gas" was the cause. How can this be? If bad gas WAS the cause- which I don't believe it was-how can that affect only one cylinder and not all 6 of them? And the dealership can't give her any proof that it was bad gas that caused this problem. They tell her that WE can have the gas tested--$300 out of OUR pocket--but that they will not uphold the warranty on the vehicle. How should we handle this situation? Right now the charges for a new cylinder is $800. Do we have any recourse here on this warranty fiasco? Thanks for anyone's advice here.

Call Hyundai Customer Service at 1-800-633-5151. This is just a blatant case of a dealership trying to hassle you. I would certainly report this to Hyundai and express my extreme dissatisfaction in the matter. How can they possibly determine that it is "bad gas" without any proof from tests?
 
Good luck and best wishes. Let us know how you fare.

Radio problem by bullseye98

Hi guys,
  
I just bought my '06 Tucson in August. It's been great so far. My only complaint is the stereo, which goes to a deep, bone-shaking hum/static when I pass under a bridge, under a gas station canopy, or at a car wash, particularly so when I'm listening to an AM station.
 
I pointed it out to the service department when I went in for a check engine light and was told that this is normal and that all cars do this. This is my sixth car now and the first to ever have this particular problem, so I'm not sure what I should do about it.
 
Is this typical of Hyundai? Am I getting the run-around? Is there a fix?
 
Thanks.

Hi Guys, wonder if you can help.
One of the prongs of my cup holder got pushed inside the centre floor console / armrest on my Tucson. I tried to remove the console and found 8 screws but still couldn't get the console out. I think I need to remove the power outlet at the back somehow.. any advice would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

I have noticed comments on the tucson and santa fe's about what seems to be transmission dragging. I felt that same thing a year ago on the new 06 tucson which I didn't buy. It seems to me that this will lower your gas mileage. Is this common on all of them I wonder and why?

My GLS Tucson is 18 months old. A few weeks after I bought it, I noticed that drag. The dealer said they could not find anything. It was like I had a manual trans and when I took my foot off the gas it stated to slow quicker than you would think. All other cars I drove in my lifetime seemed to just glide normally when you do that. It was like trying to down shift thru the gears. Anyway, I just got use to it. A few weeks ago I started to notice a vibration at times. Almost like when it needed to change up to the next gear. More noticeable around 40 to 45 MPH. Took it in this morning, they just called back and told me I needed a new trans. I just knew something was not right whit it.

Battery Drain 2006 Tucson by airflyte
Jan 13, 2007 (11:57 am)

After my Tucson sits for two days, the battery goes dead. I took it to a Hyundai dealer and they showed me the Technical Service Bulletin for the Sonata, Tucson and Azera. The Bulletin number is 06-90-015, dated March 2006. The Bulletin states, "If the vehicle has to be stored for a long time, the power connector should be disconnected to prevent battery drain." I told the service manager that the car had only sat for two days, not for a long time. Their remedy was to pull the power connector (short connector) which is a 30amp fuse, located in the relay box passenger compartment. I would like to know if anyone else has this problem?
