I have a 2005 hyundi Tucson 2.7L V6. Im having problems with the vehicle stalling when coming to a stop. The problem happened today at a stop sign. Thankfully there wasn't another car in front of me because I couldn't stop in time for the sign after it stalled. This has not been the first time this has happened. Its happened about 6 other times, all when coming to a stop at traffic lights, stop signs and yield signs. The car does start right after its stalled. I've done a fair amount of research on this issue and it seems it hasn't been solved yet. I've read of other Tucsons being involved in accidents due to this problem. Some cases have been when traveling ay highway speed. This is a serious problem that needs to be resolved.

I bought Hyundai Tucson 2005 (SUV, 2.0 gl, 4 cylinders, shiftronic) on 4/9/05. I took this car back and left it at a dealer on 4/16/05 because 1). The cruise control did not work. ). I drove that car to la. On hwy 5 with the same speed as 80 mph. As the others. When I drove up to the hills, the speeding was dropped to 60 mph. (20 mph.difference) and couldn't speed up until down from the hills. I've tried to change to lower gear... it was still struggled. I got honk and almost got hit from the cars behind. Everyone (sales, financial, service department) whom concern this case told me that they will fix everything for us. On 4/22/05 `jayson` called me to pick up that car. He told me that `there were 2 technicians checked my car and there was nothing wrong, cruise control works, this car is a normal as 2.0 gl and only 4 cylinders. For the first problem. I tried to drive and check it with it. Finally, he found out that the cruise control's chip was loosen and fixed it. What did his 2 technicians check? for the second problem. He said it's a normal car, he couldn't do anything... just the way that car is. But for me, it unsafe to drive even the hills in the city (I usually go to san francisco, and travel around especially lake Tahoe, yosemite). This car is automatic transmission !!! E suggested me to change to lower gear. I've done but it never worked !! these words `we'll help you`. result; that's all they have done. I'm not satisfied, feel unsafe to drive and unfair from this dealer. I don't want to pay for it.
