general problems of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the airbag system, brake system, and hvac system (air conditioning and heating) appear to have malfunctioned. A dealer confirmed that the hvac system is defective, identifying a broken evaporator assembly and a faulty temperature door actuator. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the airbag safety light raises concerns about whether the airbags will deploy during an accident. The brake light error creates uncertainty about the reliability of the brake system. Additionally, the defective hvac system is a significant safety hazard. The heater’s failure prevents the windshield from defogging, impairing visibility, particularly in cold or wet weather. This poses a serious risk while driving, especially in freezing temperatures. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes, the hvac system defect has been confirmed by a dealer, who provided images and recommended replacing the evaporator assembly and temperature door actuator. Independent mechanics have also observed the airbag and brake light errors but were unable to identify the underlying causes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? the vehicle has been inspected by independent mechanics and one dealership but has not been evaluated by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? the airbag safety light and brake light errors have been present since I acquired the vehicle. The hvac system began failing intermittently shortly thereafter, with the issue worsening over time. These unresolved issues continue to jeopardize the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

Airbag light on dealer says it needs replaced.

Air bag light is on. Hyundai dealer diagnosed problem as a faulty clock spring.

Air bag light is staying on constantly. Took it to the dealer and said it is the air bag control module. Not covered under extended warranty. Called Hyundai and they said not covered since vehicle is at 69,000 miles. Noticed Hyundai has recalls for air bag modules on other vehicles.

Major electrical components associated with the vehicle malfunctioned including speedomoter, tachometer, deactivation of airbags and inability to indicate which gear the vehicle was in. Situation was remedied with the replacement of a secondary vacuum pump. Water entry into the pump is cause of issue to major electronic components.

Passenger front airbag is faulty. Dealer stated that there is no obvious reason why it would be damaged. There was a similar recall on these passenger airbags for a previous model.

First the back brake light on the driver's side went out and I tried several bulbs put in but they didn't work. Next the driverd door would not open from thr outside after thr unlock button was pushed. Then the airbags went out. Last week my engine went out while I was driving.

Passenger air bag comes on at times. Transmission some times will not move the car.

Driver traveling at 30-40 mph, struck another vehicle broadside. On city street. Front end of vehicle smashed. Car declared totaled. Air bag deployed but only 1-2 inches then deflated. Driver struck steering wheel and suffered facial, and body injuries including cracked sternum. Leaser, and insurance companies not concerned about air bag. Offered only medical attention. Attorney not interested as this bag not on recall list, yet. Warning to others of possible faulty air bag.
