When I drive my car and right after I put gas in my car I smell gas to the point that my husband and I are coming home with headaches and we're sick to her stomach I've taken it to a mechanic and they say there's nothing wrong the engine check engine light keep on coming on and then it will go off after it sit for a couple minutes turned off I'm about ready to have a baby in June and I'm so worried to have the baby in the car the brakes have stopped working to the point that I've gone in through lights and I can hardly put the brakes on I have to use emergency brake sometimes and nobody will help me get it taken care of I have had almost couple wrecks because I cannot get the brakes to stop take a lock on me and it's scary when you're having a baby and you know your seatbelt your brakes are locking but you for your seat belt to keep safe and my brakes locked to the point I cannot get them after the kick hit them with all my might just to unlock them and nobody will help me fix it.

The car has less than 3000 miles, randomly when I stop on a red light, and then try to accelerate the car's rpm can go up to 3000/35000 but the car will not move. I put it in parking, and then back in drive and moves slowly. This happened quite a few times. I took it to the dealer, they drove the car and tsaid they couldn't find anything.

Car will intermittently not start have inside lights and trys to turn over or some times no power at all . Following have been checked battery ok alternator ok starter ok cables and fuses but have had to jump every day for three weeks this sucks and very frustrating. Dealer keeps telling me nothing is wrong with car.

The lower engine splash cover came off my 2006 Hyundai Tucson. I was lucky it came off while backing out of my driveway. If this large piece of plastic came off on the highway it would be easy to lose control of the vehicle. It could also be hazardous to any vehicles behind a car losing this part. The splash pan is bolted on with the bolts going up into a recess and has a metal washer going against the plastic. The dealer has told me that this part is taken off each time the oil is changed. My car has about 43,000 miles on it this means the oil has been changed about 15 times. Due to the fact I was backing up the splash pan was not damaged very much. The plastic where the washer hits it is completely worn away and the holes have become large enough that the washer no longer will hold it. You can?t put a larger washer on it because of the way it is recessed. This probably happens frequently because the dealer had one in stock.

After a month, between time shut down while you are driving, in 6 years, I took it to the dealer, because this only happens on a while sometime once on six month, they never found anything, couple years after this happens they change the oxygen sensor, but the next day happens again. I took it back but they said they change the oxygen sensor already, I told happens again, they verify and because did not happens there they said nothing they can do, I took to advance auto parts, they check it out completely too and did not find anything neither. First if I turn it back, they cross my credit and I can not sell neither because somebody can get hurt on it and I have to let them know and no body want this kind of car problem neither. As history, my wife was driving on high way at 65 miles and the SUV shut down running, she was so scare due risk she took on it. Now she scare drive it. To me happens a lot of time, still no doing all the time, just once a day, week, month. Some time doing for two or three weeks couple time a day and stop doing for the next 6 or 7 month. Could you help on this, let the public know about this issue. I saw in net people complaining on the same issue. . Read more...
