I was out of my town picking up a toddler I was going to babysit that night, I also had my own 1.5 year old in the vehicle, on my way back home the vehicles check engine light came on, and the car would not accelerate. We were in heavy traffic going roughly 50 mph at the time this occurred. I pulled into the nearest gas station turned the vehicle off then started it back up again and the check engine light was off. I pulled out of the gas station and no more than 5 minutes later as I was making a lane change again around 50 mph the same thing happened and the vehicle quickly decelerated and the car behind me almost hit us! I had to babies in the car under 2 years old! I limped my way to the nearest autozone and the computer read out a misfire in cylinder 5. I lived approximately 15 miles away and had to drive home on the interstate going maybe 40 mph with my caution lights on while heavy traffic flew by at 70 mph! I have had my spouse look at it and we have tried several things and the check engine light will come on intermittently reading the misfire in cylinder 5 every time. We are going to try replacing the spark plugs wires and coil pack, but after a ton of research I have little to no faith this will work. I have only owned the car for 4 days and it has 118900 miles on it. I am now nervous to take this vehicle anywhere outside of town let alone on the interstate that run directly through my town!

Letter to nstb and MA attorney general, re Hyundai underbody corrosion on 8/6/2015 I received a Hyundai "service campaign notification" on my 2005 Tucson for "under body corrosion." I did have the recall service completed. ('arrests' it, they claim, but not removes it.) by that date I had already experienced two failures caused by the corrosion, both of which I believe had high potential for serious, even fatal accidents. The repairs cost almost $2,000, but they refused to reimburse. I am more concerned with the safety issues. Luckily, the fuel tank falling onto the drive shaft did not rupture and explode. The right front control arm failure caused loss of steering control and an abrupt stop into the right curb. Had it been the left front, , I would have been steered into oncoming traffic. Had it been at turnpike speed I suspect a likely rollover. The left front arm was also near failure. I sent two emails to Hyundai, and made a number of calls, in part requesting repair reimbursement, but more importantly to tell them my concern the car was unsafe to drive. I asked them to buy it back at a fair price. No response. Twice, they promised to contact me in 2 to 5 days, they didn't, ever.. when I later called them and told them I had sold the car (at a loss in value) they just brushed me off. (to paraphrase them: 'it's no longer an issue since you now don't own it'). I can provide documents (repair invoices, with findings, and emails if you wish). I am requesting you take action to investigate, and as needed, take action to issue stronger sanctions against Hyundai, they should be forced to recall all the affected cars.

I was slowing to a stop and could feel that the car was going to die and it did. I took it to the dealer and they did a fuel induction service and it seemed to fix the problem.the dealer should have not charged me for a car so new, but they put under the service "maintenance" which I didn't find out till a couple years later when it happened again and I called the dealership. I have since had the same incident happen 5 times and after reading several people have had the same thing with no explanation I decided to put my incidents in so that more people would know it isn't just a single happening of the same thing. After this happens I take the car on the freeway and floor it meaning to blow out what I think may be stuck in the fuel line"??" it always works for a while. This thing doesn't occur for any particular reason and I have the car well maintained. I now have over 120,000 miles and the last time it did this was about 6 months ago. Thank goodness nothing bad has happened because of it.
