Problem overview

Some Hyundai Tucson owners report experiencing brake light issues, such as rear brake lights that continuously go out, which poses a safety concern and may require professional inspection and repairs due to potential wiring or assembly problems. Additionally, some owners have reported transmission problems, including difficulties with shifting and slipping, as well as symptoms like loud clunking sounds and warning lights flashing when braking at low speeds, indicating possible transmission or engine issues. Furthermore, while there have been multiple recalls for specific concerns like a corroding anti-lock brake control unit and leaking oil pans, not all reported problems may be covered, leading to confusion among owners regarding the safety of their vehicles. These issues underscore the necessity for regular maintenance, prompt attention to warning signs, and awareness of recalls to ensure the Hyundai Tucson's safety and reliability.
