The Hyundai Tucson GLS 2.7 2WD SUV has a few bugs in its system for the first go round. I have owned my new SUV for about 2 months now and it has been in the dealership shop 4 times for a total of 13 days. The first time for a faulty fuel gage which was told to me at that time was just a glitch. The 2nd and 3rd time was also for the fuel gage, but the check engine light was on so they replaced the fuel pump, gas tank floats and sending units, and made some adjustments. The fourth time---hopefully the last for a while--- was also for the check engine light and they changed the ECM twice in a six day stay over and other various items including the brake booster? Needless to say I like my new auto and I would like it much more if I didn't have to see the inside of the garage again anytime soon. But the fuel mileage my Tucson gets is ridiculous, I don't know how they can advertise 22-26 miles to a gallon when I am lucky to get 20 mpg. I have the 6 cylinder (but also own a full size Chevy truck with V-8 and it almost gets better mileage than the Hyundai). So you might want to think about letting the "glitches" get worked out of this new vehicle before you invest in it and if you do get one anyway- Good luck!
