#7 of 10 Re: Radio draining the battery [greatcars] by wowzers17 Apr 27, 2008 (5:56 pm)
Replying to: greatcars (Mar 10, 2008 1:22 pm) TSB 07-90-007 came out in July 2007. It directly states:   "Some Tucson vehicles equipped with the M280 audio receiver may exhibit a discharged battery if left parked, without being started or driven, for 2-3 days or more."   It lists that a re-manufactured radio should be replaced (likely a previously broken one with the defect worked out).   Take that TSB number to your dealer, and they should be able to help you.   Search for that TSB number on the internet and you can actually obtain a direct printout of the TSB to take with you as well.
#8 of 10 defective radio on 06 tucson by blisowski Jul 01, 2008 (9:14 am)
thanks to edmunds i was able to have my radio replaced and eliminate dead battery problems. My car would go dead after a few days of not driving. The dealer said everything was fine but two weeks later same problem dead battery. I told of edmunds. com and similar problems they replaced m 280 radio and guess what--no more problems   THANKS EDMUNDS

If you have a Hyundai Tucson 2005 or later-and are having battery going dead problems-most likely you do have a parasitic drain problem going on-I did-but my dealership denied it at first! they did replace my battery the one time-but after it would sit for a while it went dead also-the radio in my car was faulty-and it would make the computer think that it was on-even though I did turn it off-and everything else with it-I LEFT NOTHING ON!!! it would still drain the battery because of this radio-I just wanted to let everyone else know that may be your problem also-and it's nothing you are doing!! I almost lost my job-having to get up and try and jump this new car off-not expecting to have any problems with it-It has a good warranty but if the dealership won't recognize there's a problem-then you've just got to show them there is a problem! Mine got fixed-have had no problems since!-If they don't want to accept there is a problem-leave it with them and they'll see within a day or two-it won't start! hope ya'll get what you need out of these dealerships-you just have to work them! and don't let them have any slack!!! And by all means-THANK YOU EDMUNDS!!! I WOULD NOT HAVE EVER FOUND THIS PROBLEM!

Replying to: greatcars (Mar 10, 2008 1:22 pm) I have exactly the same problem with my 2007 Tucson. I have a battery charger permantly set up near my car so I can restart it in a hurry. It's a bit rediculous. I am going to store it at an airport in a few days so I'll probably have to unplub the battery before I leave. That will be difficult with a baby in a stroller at 5 a.m. but it will save me when I arrive home at 11 p.m. three nights later. Or I'll need to park near a power outlet somewhere! I'll look into the factory radio problem. Thanks for your advice. My problem is very randon. It only happens about once a week, but I don't use the car daily so it's probably those times I leave it for a couple of days.
