Description of the problem | Bought a 2005 tucson new. It now only has 19k miles on it. But from day one, when i approach a red light/stop sign at about 30-50 mph, many times as i depress the brake pedal, it feels like i'm riding on speed bumps through the pedal/car and i have to keep tapping the brakes as i can feel the car will not stop in time and quickly put the car in neutral. I brought it up at my dealership along with the fact when i lock my car with the key remote, the horn beep to engage the rarely sounds. It may sound 1 or 2 times in 100 lockings. Also brought that up to them, with both they found nothing. That was years ago. I still live with this nightmare and in 2009 my hyundai service center closed. I contacted hyundai to ask where to go and would the new place honor these old problems but they said "probably not". Now my car past the 5 year mark and still has only 19k miles on it and i'm up the creek without paddle. P. S. After reading about other's tire wear problems, mine are almost three quarters worn with only 19k on them. Needles to say, hyundai customer service is "not there when you need them". |
