#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.
