4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2006

I have a 2005 Hyundai Tucson I have several problems with my vehicle none of which the dealer says he can find but before I crash or loose my life I would like fix. Today, August 1, 2006, I was traveling down the highway at normal speeds and when I step on the brake to slow down they gave. When I removed my foot they were still pumping by themselves. I pulled off the highway and turned off the car when I turned back the car the ep light stated it was off. Then, when it is raining my brakes will lock and I go sliding. The other problem that I have is sometimes my car doors open and sometimes they don't. If I use the alarm they wont budge if I open the door with the key then sometimes the alarm goes off. Then sometimes the passenger door and the hatchback door I have to pull hard to open this door. This are the problems the dealer can not seem to find. The other problems he fixed the compartment for my glasses didn't open right from the day I got it, the mats first put in the car used to fold up when driving because they didn't have a latch, the stabilizer light would go on and the passenger and the driver seat latch where the sits go back cracked. All these wonderful things have been occurring from the first day of purchase to now. I traded in my elentra for a SUV thinking it would be better but I never had problems like this.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2005

Bought a 2005 Tucson new. It now only has 19k miles on it. But from day one, when I approach a red light/stop sign at about 30-50 mph, many times as I depress the brake pedal, it feels like I'm riding on speed bumps through the pedal/car and I have to keep tapping the brakes as I can feel the car will not stop in time and quickly put the car in neutral. I brought it up at my dealership along with the fact when I lock my car with the key remote, the horn beep to engage the rarely sounds. It may sound 1 or 2 times in 100 lockings. Also brought that up to them, with both they found nothing. That was years ago. I still live with this nightmare and in 2009 my Hyundai service center closed. I contacted Hyundai to ask where to go and would the new place honor these old problems but they said "probably not". Now my car past the 5 year mark and still has only 19k miles on it and I'm up the creek without paddle. P. S. After reading about other's tire wear problems, mine are almost three quarters worn with only 19k on them. Needles to say, Hyundai customer service is "not there when you need them".

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/26/2005

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Tucson. While driving 15 mph in rainy conditions, the brakes lock up when they are applied and the vehicle skids. The vehicle also skids when driving over a bump in the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that it needed an updated program in its computer system. They performed the upgrade, but the failure is still present. He called the manufacturer, but they refused to make any other types of repair. The contact believes that a recall should be issued because it appears to be a manufacturer defect. The failure mileage was 100 and current mileage was 60,000.
