Hyundai Tucson All Right But Not What I Had Hoped
I bought the Tucson hoping it would be easier for my wife to get into than our Nissan Pathfinder and give us better gas mileage. It was all right, but we had issues from the start. Turns out the front driver assist wouldn't work correctly. I asked the Granite City Illinois Weber Chevrolet dealership where we bought the car to fix it during our first routine service call, but they said I'd have to take it back to Hyundai to be fixed because the manufacturer's warranty should cover it. Taking it back to the Hyundai dealership that originally sold it, Auffenberg Hyundai O'Fallon Illinois, was a major disappointment. We were informed by the service rep that the Tucson's original owner brought the vehicle there for service, informing them she had a fender bender accident which she had fixed by an acquaintance on the side. Her acquaintance couldn't fix the front sonar, which she had broken in the accident. Long story short, no one, not the dealership or the owner, reported the accident or service request. Instead, she traded it in without informing Weber. Weber sold it to us without informing us. We got stuck with a $3,000 repair bill just to be able to use the cruise control for more than three minutes. That soured us a bit. In the end we traded it for a 2026 Pathfinder, which is a much better vehicle.
