general problems of the 2006 Hyundai Tucson

Rear subframe corrosion.

Esc off light does not turn off. I press it off and on while driving and nothing happens. It stays on all the time.

Driver side rear unibody sub frame rusted through.

Rear control arm mount broke away from subframe while on the highway going 65mph. Violent shaking and steering malfunction occurred immediately. Passed wv inspection just a few months ago.

I got in the vehicle and put it in reverse as I was eating reversed I put on the brake but the brake would not go on the car kept rolling backwards I didn't try to put the car into park do not go into park I tried to put it into drive it would not go into drive I had no break the break with all the way to the floor there's no break I check with breakfast if there is fluid in the container but there is still no brakes the car was like he was in when I put my foot on the gas it would not go it was like it had a whole bunch of weight on it and it was like not being able to even drive is that the engine was locked up or somebody had a chain around around the wheels who's got a lot going this was on a highway and then I pulled over near school because I could not drive the car.

The vehicle while foot on brake or while in park accelerates on its own! I almost got into an accident because my foot was all the way on the brake for car to stop but engine was still inching forward while in stopped position! when it is in park it tries to accelerate but ends up stalling out and then im unable to start back up for about 10 minutes also when going a steady city wide speed my car chooses to accelerate without making it do so this is scary I have 2 small children and this is dangerous I have carried it to 2 different machanic shops one being firestone best of the best and have had diognostic tests conducted and they are unable to find the cause of my issue! it happens at various times I have read many of the same issues happening online with the tuscons and santa fe this issue needs to be investigated! I almost hit someone in the rear end with my foot completely on the brake! and it was as if I was fighting with my vehicle to stop.

My driver side door caught on fire.

Rust on the left rear frame that needs to be repaired before is fails, I am not sure what the outcome will be when this part of frame fails. Hyundai has years of rust problems that they don't seem to want to fix at the dealer level or the manufacturing level unless you have thousands of dollars for repairs or pay for rust proofing at your expense when you buy the car, they need a good fine slapped on them to wake them up, maybe then they will stop making cars that they what you to scrap after 11 years and 144,000 miles. This car was serviced by the dealer where it was bought, by the book and the book and the dealer should warn that rust not lack of service will cause it to fail. Please do something to stop the rust parade coming from korea. Look up Hyundai rust problems, this has been happening over 16 year time period, make them repair this at their expense and maybe figure out have to prevent it before it does some real harm to the public.

I purchased my vehicle in July and it was in absolutely wonderful condition mechanically and physically. It had routine maintenance per the carfax report and meticulous care by its previous owner, with mostly "highway" mileage and new tires. After a little over a month of ownership, I lifted the rear window and first one latch snapped due to corosion, followed by the second and the window I caught luckily in my hands!thank goodness I was not driving on the highway and this would have happened, possibly causing a shattered window and dangerous conditions on the roadway!I was quoted $70 per latch for a replacement by the local Hyundai dealer plus installation costs. I have had hatchback vehicles before and have never had this happen regardless of the car's age, and especially from one taken care of so unbelievably well by its only owner. Since this occurred I have heard of other instances of this with Hyundai Tucsons and that they are readily kept in stock-which causes me to believe this a common occurrence and poor design.

When I went to put on the brake to park there was a sudden acceleration and the vehical hit the building in front of the parking space.

Battery discharges overnight. Seems to have something to do with the alarm system, as when the vehicle is locked is when the battery is dead the next day. This happens even when a new battery has been installed. Dealership has been of no help, same problem I was having with my 2007 Hyundai entourage.

After taking left turn the rear end started to shake had car towed to garage where it was found the rear sub frame had complete broken off.

Battery power lost when car parked for two days or more numerous times. Once while briefly parked for 15 minutes after an hour drive, I parked to make the call in a remote area using car phone plugged into cigarette lighter. No cell service there and had to walk to a local ranch for help and a jump. Battery required replacement frequently. Dealer tested on two occasions and they could not resolve, replaced battery twice. Ive replaced batteries numerous other times at least every two years. Last visit by aaa tested 1 amp high resistance short in electrical system but good relatively new battery. I now charge the battery about three times a year with a battery charger, taking approximately 8 hours of charge when the battery is dead at home. I do not drive very far out of fear that I'll be stranded. I've used up my 3 aloted aaa visits on this problem.

I bought my 2006 Hyundai Tucson when it was 1 yr old and had 25,000 miles on it. It is now March 2014 and the car is 7-8 yrs old and only has a total of 55,000 miles on it. It has only been driven gently and in good driving conditions and rarely a pothole has it hit. I don't remember the exact time things started, maybe a year after I bought it, but I had problems with my esc light coming on and the tms coming on - they would go on and off randomly and I eventually got them fixed - I think those were under warranty, not sure. Back in early 2013 my air bag light came on. This really stressed me out - found money to borrow. I took it in and asked if there was a recall and they told me it had expired. I paid $1700 to have that fixed. I see recalls don't expire - do I have a case against them to get my money back? also, now my esc light is starting to come on again. Some times 5 mins or so after starting the car and sometime upon turning on the headlights. I am so sick and tired of all these electrical problems on a vehicle that only has 55,000 miles on it. It is not cheap to fix regardless of the cars age, there is little miles on it. Do I have any recourse with these issues? I am on fixed income and cannot pay another dime towards fixing these repetitive warning198088 light issues. These cars are stealing from us, what should be working to begin with. . . Thanks - hope you have good news for me. Especially about refunding the $1700. If I have to pay for the esc it won't get fixed, it will only break again.
