Some Hyundai Tucson owners report experiencing difficulties starting their vehicle in the morning, despite having a new battery and passing starter and generator checks. These issues may stem from a parasitic drain on the battery overnight, which can cause it to run dead by morning. Additionally, faulty electrical connections, corroded battery terminals, or problems with the car's security system, such as the immobilizer light not turning on, could prevent the car from starting. Ignition system problems, including issues with the ignition switch, failed starter motor, or fuel delivery system, may also contribute to the starting troubles. Furthermore, cold weather can impact battery performance, straining its charging capacity and leading to difficulties in starting the vehicle. It is advisable for owners facing these issues to have a mechanic inspect the electrical system and check for any battery drains, as well as ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.
