#16 of 22 Re: battery replacement [nortsr1] by bwaller78 Sep 03, 2007 (6:16 am)
Replying to: nortsr1 (Sep 03, 2007 3:32 am) no I did not have hyundai replace under warranty because I have aftermarket stereo equipment and figured they would deny the claim because of it so I put in a duralast 48-dl from autozone that has 875 cca, since stock equipment is not the best quality anyway figured its better than the stock battery that was in it, the battery I have now has a 120 amp reserve capacity not sure what the reserve capcity of the stock was, I dont even know what brand it was, just has english and korean writing on it.

I AM DISABLED AND I GOT THE 3RD ENGINE REPLACED AND LEFT THE SHOP GOT HOME AND THE STARTER DIED.THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. AGAIN I GET HOME AND IT DIED. NOW THE STARTER WAS REPLACED AND 1 WEEK OF NO CAR TO GET THE PART IN.

Replying to: dino1961 (Oct 09, 2007 7:47 am) I ALSO OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI TUSCON WITH 12000 MILES. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE ON THE CAR AND 1200 MILES LATER I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP DUE TO A LOUD TICKING NOISE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL BUT IT HAS NO LEAKS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THE OIL WENT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS INCIDENT DUE TO THE TICKING NOISE AND THE SLUGGISH ENGINE. THE AREA REP REFUSES TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT AND I AM NOW GIVING SERIOUS THOUGHT TO HIRING A LAWYER. I HAVE SPOKE WITH HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ONE WANTS TO HELP. I FIND IT VERY HUMOROUS THAT HYUNDAI RAVES ABOUT THERE WARRANTY AND THEY DON'T HONOR IT. IF ANY ONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEM
#19 of 22 Battery by greatcars Mar 03, 2008 (8:25 am)
I have 2005 Tucson and had only a little more than 10000 miles. Last month I had a little problem in satarting the car. It took more than 5 seconds to start but never failed to start and the warning lights on the display are dark during start. That was after about of week of idle and nobody drove it. To me it appeared to be battery leaking but I am not sure about that. Today the dealer said the battery needs to be replaced and since the warranty is only good for 2 years and it has to be proprated for the replacement. I chose to replace it myself. I don't think the batter should be bad this soon. If more people have battery problem that's a sign that their battery is not of good quality. Even you have stereo installed that should not exhaust the battery, let along twice a day. If the problem is only the battery that's OK and we can install a better one to last long.

Replying to: greatcars (Mar 03, 2008 8:25 am) So what's the best battery replacement for Tucson? This article has some helpful information on choosing battery. I never knew all the batteries were only made by three manufacturers.   http://shopping.yahoo.com/premium/consumerreports/silver.html?id=95700426

Replying to: fatjack (Aug 09, 2007 4:47 am) I just read the original post by fatjack. If I correctly understand what he said, the vehicle was driven 9,000 mi without any inspection or service. This is approximately twice the recommended distance for service & certainly far past a safe distance for a periodic oil level check. It would not be at all unusual for an engine to consume sufficient oil in that distance to run the crankcase oil level below the safe minimum. I'm not surprised that Hyundai refused the warranty claim.
