I love Hyundai vehicles and I have owned 9 of them in the last 16 years. All of them have been great except this last Tucson. It would be a great vehilce if it didn't have so many small issues and a dashboard cover problem and a serious engine/transmission shifting and reving problem.
This car's appearance is great, but the day to day performance is very lacking. The car does not perform as you would expect and there are so many small issues that the car is not pleasant or fun to drive. I am constantly on guard regarding whether it will shift properly or get across the street without getting hit by another car. There never seems to be a comfort "place" to drive the car. Service with Jim Click has really been questionable because it was taking 2 months up to get an appointment, so I just learned to live with the issues. I had to take my car to Phoenix to get the warp rotors replaced. I believe there is a serious issue with the rotors for them to warp so quickly. Am I going to have to replace the rotors every 7-8000 miles?
However, I must applaud the response of Mr. Prince the service manager. He does a very good job under the circumstances he has to work with. Hyundai didn't want to replace my peeling/flaking dash board.The dealership does not seem to be a "happy place to work." Thus, there is no happy feeling about your new car. I have definitely feel this Tucson is a Lemon.
