general problems of the 2011 Hyundai Tucson

The contact's daughter owns a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that upon his daughter attempting to enter the vehicle through the front driver’s side door, the door failed to open. The contact stated that his daughter opened the front passenger’s side door and there was black smoke coming from inside the vehicle. The contact’s daughter discovered that the front driver’s side seat, driver’s side door panel, and headliner was burned. The contact stated that the fire department was not called to the scene. There was no one injured. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 23v651000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The dealer was notified of the failure and a tow truck was sent to the residence. While the vehicle was in the dealer's possession, the failure was acknowledged, but the dealer stated that the damages would not be covered for free. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle as not repaired and remained with the dealer. The failure mileage was unknown.

Happened to be driving our car (11/23/25) to drop off our other car for brake pad replacement. On the way to our mechanic the brake light came on in the dash cluster. After having spoken to our mechanic we prepared to leave the car we planned to drop off. Got in our Hyundai Tucson and the brake light was still on, odd. Proceed to back up and he brake pedal almost went to the floor. Got out looked underneath the car and there was a puddle of brake fluid. The Hyundai was unsafe to drive as it had no brakes and we left it at our mechanic. He called Friday to say Hyundai longer makes the brake lines and he was searching for the front brake lines that corroded away and failed. He said the rear lines we coated to protect them from corrosion and the front lines were not. Learned over the weekend that the canadian government recalled almost 300k Hyundai vehicles for corroded or failed brake lines. Why hasn't the us addressed this serious safety issue? my image is too large to be accepted by your system. Is there another way to submit it? we were incredibly fortunate as we were going home on a highway at rush. If the brakes failed I'm certain we and others would have been injured.

I am writing regarding the NHTSA recall number23v651000. I have been on a waiting list since July when the recall notice about a remedy finally being determined was sent in the mail. I have now called Hyundai of cool springs in tennessee about where I am on the list. At one point they were saying September, then when I called again they were thinking some time in November. We are now almost out of November and I am not getting any updates and would like to park my daughter's vehicle in the garage. The dealership is saying that parts or something on back order with no idea on when I can expect an appointment to resolve this issue. I didn't let my daughter take the car to college thinking I would be able to resolve this by the time we were hitting winter break and her returning to school in January. Please provide guidance on other options to get this remedy taken care of. Thank you.

Nothing yet, but the information sent to me on 11-28-2023 stated that the defect could cause a fire and be quite dangerous, but no remedy has come forth yet. It is unsettling to drive a car which could catch fire while driving or parked. How long do we patiently wait for our cars to burst into flames?.

No known malfunction at this time on my vehicle - however a recall #251 has been issued with no repair available. Recall strongly recccommends parking car outside and away from structures due to possible fire which can also occur during driving. This problem has been going on with Hyundai cars for several years - and they still don't have a solution??? I called my two local dealerships and neither was aware of recall campaign 251. I asked if my abs module completely failed - what module would they replace it with? I was advised that they would probably sell me a new one costing $1900 plus labor that has the same problem!!! Hyundai is not taking this seriously - this is not being repaired in a timely manner. Please restrict them from selling anymore cars in the USA until this recall has a remedy!.

Recall # 251 has been going on at great length and I have an appointment for 11:30am April 1,2025 for what they deem as a solution to # 251 recall that does not fix the problem and goes against everything that the NHTSA and federal goverment laws are in place for, you are allowing them to continue to not do what the laws clearly state and in a certain time period have repaired, replaced or make restiitution for the recalled issue it also is stated that they do not need to for automobiles older than 15years. Their bandaid only creates other problems and dangers and by 02/11/2026 my car will be 16years old but it wasn’t when all this first started,I own a time bomb and can not afford to buy another vehicle,im retired and live on a fixed income. Im not sure if letting them change a fuse to a lower wattage so it would fail and make the abs system disabled there by stopping leaking brake fluid from igniting. Does not meet any requirements and creates more issues. My car has awd and is low mileage for the age. I don’t agree with letting them do this but im afraid of what NHTSA or they can do if I don’t,why aren’t you stopping them perpetrate a fraud. This is not by your own law's fines have not helped the millions involved in this #251 recall thankyou.

Recalls for my model.

I have noticed that on various occasions I pressed on the the brake and the car seemed to accelerate until I slammed hard on the brake. Today 12/4/2021 I almost got into an accident as a result.

The abs and master cylinder both had a pressure leak which caused the brakes to not engage. The sensor light also never activated to indicate a problem. While driving down the road my brakes would not engage unless I began to pump them, and even then they were unpredictable. We do not currently have the old parts as it was disposed of by the mechanic we went to. The independent mechanic was able to replicate the problem when the car was at a standstill in the shop. It was not inspected by anyone but the independent mechanic. There was no warning prior to this issue occurring. It started out small and I reported it to my mechanic but they could not replicate it. However within a time frame of 3 weeks, it was very severe and deemed unsafe to drive. P.

Highway, bridge, following significantly far back. Car stops ahead and I brake in plenty of time (my son was in the front seat and can attest to that). Car brakes but very slowly, not in time so we hit the stationary car and then we were hit much harder from behind. Airbags deployed. The car immediately filled with smoke which I attributed to the air bags because I did not know any better. Very scared, I screamed for the kids to get out of the car. Smoke was gone by the time police arrived. We were ok, my son and I had sore ribs and while talking with police my left hand was burning from something. Nothing was visible so I saw know point in telling anyone. It left a rash and within time it peeled and now is back to normal. A few days later, had some headaches. Went to the athletic trainer at our school (I am a teacher) and was put on concussion protocol. Car was totaled. The front looked like an accordion as we were pushed significantly into the vehicle in front by the car who hit us from behind. I was so relieved that everyone was ok that I really did not think about it until recall notice came for the car which of course was already gone. Engine problems with "oil leaks and possible spontaneous fires, increasing risk for accident" is the wording on the recall.

The downhill brake control (dbc) indicator and the electronic stabilty control (esc) lights come on while car is in operation for no apparent reason - driving normal speed - about 45 mph, in normal dry road conditions. When I go to stop the car, the shift lever gets stuck and cannot put in park. It takes a few tries at jiggling the shift lever and jiggling key in ignition to get it to go into park. After shutting off engine, restart is normal with the dbc and esc lights no longer on. This has happened at least 10 times since original time I noticed it a few months ago. Due to death in the family and other issues, have not been able to take it into to dealer since the first occurance I noticed in March. I'm taking it in tomorrow and will advise.

Comment: I have brought in my Tucson for the clunking transmission issue 5 times now. Each return to the service center results in a cannot duplicate response. 1. On the morning of 28 March 2013, approximately 20 seconds after starting the vehicle the transmission was shifted into drive, a loud mechanical clunk was heard and felt from the driver's seat, the transmission did not respond, the vehicle would not move when the gas pedal was depressed, and the p,r,n,d indicator in the dash board display went blank. The car was shifted into p, a loud mechanical clunk� was heard and felt followed by a loud crunch�. The ignition was turned off, and the vehicle was restarted with no issues once the vehicle was warmed up. 2. Recall service for the transmission cooling line coupling performed, the vehicle began exibiting the transmission disengage and reengage symptom while driving under acceleration. This occurs approximately once a day under any incline or flat condition while accelerating. 3. While accelerating up hill, specifically up hill while accelerating up to 45 mph the vehicle will down shift to climb the hill. Under 2 conditions 1. Cruise control engaged, 2. Constant accelerator pedal application. The vehicle will not re-upshift once the hill has been completed and keeps an elevated rpm range of approximately 3000 rpm even while on level ground while passing tax and revenue. The rpms do not lower and the transmission will not up shift until either the brake pedal is depressed (to disengage the cruise control), or the accelerator is lifted. Note: the entire time this situation is occurring the econ green light is illuminated. . The safety issue is that the transmission intermittently disengages while driving, sometimes while departing intersection. The transmission roblem has continued and grown worse with exapnding problems.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that when driving at least 5 mph over road bumps that the vehicle would sporadically lose braking power for one to two seconds. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer nor repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 1,700.
