| Hello - I am new to this forum. Had my 05 Tucson since 6/06. Bought off the lot for a good price since prior year model. Had no problems up until now. Just hit 40,000 miles. And over the last month, have had a couple of issues with acceleration. First time it happened, I was going down the interstate at about 70mph and then all of the sudden the acceleration died. Car went from 70, to about 30mph. Was able to get to side of road w/o getting run over and had my foot to the floor with the gas pedal just to get the car to move. Engine was "missing" but never stalled. Had no power at all. Finally got to gas station and let it idle in park. Pushed the gas and the engine rev'ed up. Put the car in drive and no power. Shut it off for a little bit and started again. Car is fine. My dad checked the air filter and it was slightly dirty. So we put a new one in about 3 weeks ago. No problems. Until today. Same thing - on interstate, lose power, etc... Does anyone have any idea what this could be? No engine lights come on, no overheating, nothing!!! Sorry to be so lengthy, but wanted to get an idea before i took to dealer and they tell me its "nothing" | |

Hello - I have been driving Tuscon 2006 did not have any problem until 34000 mile, the engin died on the stop sign 6 times and once when I was driving 35-40mph. the engin starts without proplem. I made 4 trips to the dealer and they can't find anything wrong with the car. Does anybody have the same problem? If so what is the solution? Help!!

I haven't seen any solutions to the problems above.. can someone help? I have a BRAND NEW Hyundai Tucson and the engine keeps giving out on me. 3 months ago it stuttered and then DIED when i came to a stop. I started it again, and everything seemed normal. I took it to the dealer, and they couldnt' find anything. A month later I felt the SAME stutter mid highway 60mph drive and this time I didn't stop, and thankfully, car recovered and kept driving normally. Did not bother taking to the dealer this time. LAST WEEK, in mid traffic, car suddently died I was at a stop, I restarted it and it died immediately. So I restarted and kept my foot on the gas and this seemed to keep it alive, as soon as i got out of traffic into open road it stuttered again, and this time DIED mid drive with my foot on the gas. I came to a stop and tried starting car, this time it was no use, car wouldn't stay on. Had to push it to the gas station. Next day at Dealer.... CAR WORKING JUST FINE!!!!! So is this a dud?! A bad apple? Is this a computer problem? Or is there some physical cause to this problem that anyone has found? Because of it's randomness it makes me think it's the computer, will resetting the computer like the dealer did going to work? Or could it be the Oxyegen air censor, or fuel filter? Anybody got any ideas? I get NILTCH from the dealer... but because it's in its first year and under warranty I have to keep taking it there. Thoughts? |

Replying to: sa258 (Jun 14, 2009 5:53 pm) pcherry328 -- I ended up having 3 different places try to diagnose my problem (2 were Hyundai dealerships and 1 was a little shop in the middle of nowhere). All 3 had different ideas. The little shop suggested that I had some water in my fuel. Not sure if that's the case. Either way, I've only had the problem when my tank was below 1/2 a tank. So now, when I go for long trips, I stop every 100 miles and fill up the tank. So far, so good. Sure, that's not an ideal solution, but it beats the alternative. Have you been having better luck, yourself? |

I am having the same problem described by everyone above -- engine was fine until 60K (when the warranty ran out) Tucson engine gives out on interstate, sometimes on my local country road at 50 mph. The engine looses power for a while, check engine light comes on, then problem corrects itself and check engine light goes off. Shops never see anything because the engine sensor reset and don't store in memory why the check engine light comes on. My mechanic suggested it might be the crank shaft sensor (tells the fuel pump how much fuel to give engine). He showed me 9 webpages of complaints from owners describing the same problem and the crank shaft sensor was the source. Since then, I have had one delay and the check engine light came on--so not convinced that was the issue. I have wondered if using the cruise control might cause some of these problems, maybe it gets"stuck" Perhaps fuel filter and pump, but that's a huge cost. Anyone have any suggestions on this one? |
