Air Bag Problems of Hyundai Tucson - part 2

I have a lot of questions. I bought the best trim car for safety, but as a result, nothing worked. The damage to my family caused by this was a lot of damage mentally and physically, and it took a lot of time for these results to come out. That ended my view of Hyundai/kia as a korean american living in the u. S. I will never repurchase a korean car. I suspect a sudden acceleration. I decided to report to NHTSA/bbb/Hyundai motor America/ftc.

12/02/2022 while parking the vehicle in a parking spot in a parking garage, vehicle suddenly lurched forward causing the vehicle to hit the parking garage cement wall.  this caused him to hit his head very hard on the steering wheel. The air bag deployed after he hit his head. The air bag did not protect him. He did not hit the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle accelerated by itself, which caused it to hit the parking garage wall. Shortly after this occurrence; he was at the post office, to drop mail in the mail box, and he very slightly removed his foot from the brake pedal to move the vehicle up a foot or two, and the vehicle lurched ahead approximately four to six feet. Again, he did not hit the accelerator pedal. Luckily, there was no other car in front of him or the vehicle might have hit it. Prior to the self acceleration of the vehicle in the parking garage and at the post office, this issue occurred while he was driving on the highway. He was going 55 mph and the vehicle suddenly went 75 mph. He was at a place where there is an exit, and he would not go that fast at this particular area. He explains he did not accelerate the car himself. He was so concerned about the vehicle self accelerating that he immediately got off of the highway to look under the hood to see if there was some explanation for this. We addressed this issues with the Hyundai dealer. On 01/06/2023, according to the report from them they drove the vehicle around their building and then looked for engine or transmission, and they said there were none.

#1. The airbag light comes on saying the passenger airbag is not connected (something like that). #2. Braking lights did stop working and stayed on while the car was turned off. I never received any recall notice of this and we fixed it ourselves. #3. And most important and dangerous! the back driver's side wheel froze up and started to catch on fire. We had the caliper, and several other surrounding parts changed and the master cylinder when it almost caught fire again. A mechanic could not figure it out. I did a lot of research and discovered the problems with the abs, which I strongly believe this is the problem. I cannot drive it at all. The emergency brake is like mush and does not work at all. I have now read of these cars catching fire from the abs and people have died! my car is a 2008 and not the year of the car that has been recalled. But my 2008 is doing the same thing. My special needs son and I could have been killed! flaming red inside the tire area. We threw bottles of water on it so it wouldn't catch on fire and catch all the other cars and buildings on fire. Please help! also, the ecs light comes on for no reason. I'm afraid of this car and I'm afraid to sell it to someone who may be killed by it. We thought we fixed this problem in 2020 but it started catching on fire again in 2022 and had not been driven since Aug. 2022 since the last fire flames and stinky smoke that comes out from the back tire area.

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.

The contact's daughter owned a 2007 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at approximately 45–50 mph, she rear-ended another vehicle. The seat belt did not restrain the daughter in the seat, causing her chest to strike the steering wheel and her head to strike the front windshield. Additionally, the air bags did not deploy upon impact. The daughter received medical attention for a fractured sternum and bruising of the lungs. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and was not yet deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the failure was caused by excessive force upon braking. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph when a semi truck failed to slow down with traffic when they were hit on the right rear passenger side of the vehicle. The side air bags failed to deploy. The contact had bruising on their body and the passenger had injuries to their head and bruising to the body. Medical attention was needed. A police report was filed. The vehicle had been towed and deemed totaled. The semi truck was damaged as well. The dealership was not made aware of the issue. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 14,670.

Purchased a brand new 2022 Tucson. Within 2 months it went to the dealer with about 7 dash fault lights turning on (abs, air bag, lane assist, check engine, just to name a few) and breaks engage on their own. Stayed at the dealership for over 2 months while they had the Hyundai engineers try to figure out the issue. They gave it back to me and said it was a connector in the rear door. The vehicle has been back 4 times for the same exact issues for months at a time and they keep experimenting and giving it back to me. I tried to get it exchanged for a safer one and they denied my request. I guess my families safety isn't that important to Hyundai after all.

Since mid to late December 2021 the airbag light has come on roughly 4 to 6 or more times. The last time currently was 05/07/2022 after having had the "code cleared and a reset" done at the dealership of purchase. This reset took place at 10:27 am and the light came on again at 1:57 pm. The cost to me was $175. 00. I feel this poses a safety concern though I was told "most likely the airbag would fail to go off".

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. There was an abnormal odor of smoke detected. The contact exited the vehicle through the window. The contact stated that ten of the air bags deployed. There was water damage due to a storm. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and informed there was water damage. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I acquired my vehicle as a used car. Although, to my knowledge my vehicle air bags have not deployed, the air bag light is illuminated on my dash panel and this issue is preventing me from obtaining an updated vehicle registration in my state of residence (delaware). Since the year make and model are listed under the "recall" section of the NHTSA website, specifically for an airbag issue, I am requesting information regarding what nest-steps I nay take to have this problem repaired by Hyundai without any cost to me.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph collided with an elk. The engine caught fire and vehicle was engulfed in the flames.

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.

In October of 2020 I was pulling into a parking space and my car accelerated and crashed into a light pole resulting in injury to both my husband and myself. He is 91 years old and shattered his upper arm. We had the vehicle fixed and checked out and was told all was fine. About June of 2021 I took the car in for a recall on the brake lights to the Hyundai dealership and told them of the first incident and asked them to check and was told that all was fine. On December 23rd 2021, the same thing happened when I was pulling into my parking space at home. When it accelerated, I had both feet on the brake and ended up hitting a wall damaging the car again. Fortunately, this time injuries were minor. There were no warning lights, messages or symptoms before these two incidents happened. I am concerned that others will be put at risk if this happens again or to anyone else with one of these vehicles. I might add that with these accidents, the airbags did not deploy. The first was a significant crash which should have deployed the airbags.

Thankfully we are alive. We were going at speed and he attempted to pass me on the median, grass and rumble strips. He was inches away from my rear bumper, riding me. When I put the turn signal to move away from him he hit my driver’s side rear panel (side swiped), thank god it didn't turn into a pit maneuver and killed us. He then proceeded to take off. So one thing I have to say is, the vehicle has great pick up. I called 911 and went after him to get his lic plate. When I got to be about 10 car lengths or so, he slammed his brakes. Since I was on the left lane, I could not keep going left and risk going into oncoming traffic. Plus, there was a car on the right lane I slammed the brakes and rear ended him on his right rear. He had a 2021 Toyota tacoma pick up and our hood flipped up and shattered the windshield. The hood stayed up and I was driving blind. All I did was keeping straight, not knowing where I was going and didn’t hit a vehicle, tree, embankment or sign. I went there yesterday and I have no idea how I we didn’t die. I’m so shaken up by it. When we came to a stop, there was a hole about 6 feet from my front tire. We were the victim of road rage and this person caused the accident purposely. He admitted it to the police. He said to the cop, I was slowing down traffic. I suspect with the size of his vehicle and being so close to my rear bumper, he did not see my turn signal. My major concern is the airbags did not deploy and the hood flipped open blocking my view. I was in a forum and this happened to the same model owned by someone else. I suspect this is a design flaw.

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.

Tl-the contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while his mother was driving 30 mph, she was struck from the front passenger side by another vehicle that was traveling 40 mph.

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.

I purchased my vehicle from san francisco, I live in san francisco and only drive in san francisco, however, there's no dealerships that can service my car in san francisco. I'm being asked to drive over 30 miles away across the bridge and I have a phobia of driving across bridges. I will not ask anyone to drive my car. My complaint is that I contacted Hyundai and asked what they will do to get my car serviced, and my call is being escalated to another person and I'll receive a call within 3-5 days. In the meantime, I have to hope that my car doesn't cause an accident and if I do get into an accident, will my airbag work? they should have said they will send over a tow truck to pick up my car, and deliver it back to me. That wasn't done of course, because I'm not buying a new car. It is not my fault they don't have a dealership where I purchased my car any longer. What is the manufacture responsible for in making this happen?.

Needless to say the dealership says that it's a total loss, this 2 year old vehicle with less than 50,000 miles had a blown engine due to unknown causes.

There has not been an incident but the air bag warning lamp has been on since I bought the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the Hyundai authorized dealers so they could check it and they said they found nothing wrong but they cannot get the warning light removed. I am afraid that if I get in an accident the air bags will fail.
