3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2012

Engine on our 2005 Hyundai Tucson turned off in the middle of a busy highway going approximately 40 mph. Managed to turn/roll off the road without power or power steering. Had to restart car several times as it would stall out on acceleration or when slowing to turn. Paid dealership $209 to "fix" the problem, but the problem still exists a month later and is getting progressively worse each day. Dealership did oil change, vehicle inspection and replaced "p0444 evap purge control valve connector. " clearly this did not solve the problem as this severe safety hazard persists. Hyundai has no answers and several other similar complaints we've read have been filed with the NHTSA. Something has got to be done.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2010

My 2005 Hyundai Tucson (2. 7l v-6 4wd) has for the last 1. 5 years has been: 1. Stalling out 2. Running very rough with no power (especially when raining or after several days of rain) 3. Cranks over but doesn't start 4. Engine quits running on highway (leaving us stranded on route I-80). All intermittently! I have had the car in a repair shop where they replaced the ignition coil pack assembly (6/2011). Then it failed again but not long enough to get something diagnosed, so I drove it just knowing someday it was going to happen again. Finally it failed again (1/1/2012) this time long enough for me to get the code/s from the ecm. It had a hard crankshaft position sensor failure. Then it ran fine. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and upon removal and inspection the sensors three wires were bare. The outer insulation covering all three wires was not only gone but the individual wire insulation was also missing (about 3" of bare copper wire). A quick look of some websites turned up photos of four other crankshaft position sensors that looked the same (missing insulation/ wires shorting) all coming from Hyundai Tucson's. In my opinion this is a very very dangerous situation. Looking at other ntsb complaints for 05, 06 Tucson's turns up nearly 60 other stalling engine; running rough; engine cuts off; type complaints.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2010

I have a 2005 hyundi Tucson 2. 7l v6. Im having problems with the vehicle stalling when coming to a stop. The problem happened today at a stop sign. Thankfully there wasn't another car in front of me because I couldn't stop in time for the sign after it stalled. This has not been the first time this has happened. Its happened about 6 other times, all when coming to a stop at traffic lights, stop signs and yield signs. The car does start right after its stalled. I've done a fair amount of research on this issue and it seems it hasn't been solved yet. I've read of other Tucsons being involved in accidents due to this problem. Some cases have been when traveling ay highway speed. This is a serious problem that needs to be resolved.

Failure Date: 03/25/2005

Incorrect oil dipstick installed on 2005 Hyundai Tucson gl, 2wd,2. 0l,auto. Owners manual calls for 4. 23 quarts, this will result in an overfill of about 1/2 inch over the full mark. Owners manual clearly highlights in bold letters not to overfill as engine damage will result. An oil fill to the full line results in less than specified oil quantity. Dealer is aware of problem and has called tech line and has gotten guidance to continue to put 4. 23 quarts in and let the dipstick read over full. No fix is offered. Hyunder consumer affairs has been notified, case#3249498 and has provided no resolution. A scenario is that a dipstick reading of low would actually be 1/2 quart below the low reading possibly causing engine damage or fire. A correct dipstick needs to be designed to indicate proper oil level. Problem since new.
