    "If the car is not driven every 4 days the battery dies. This makes it necessary to use manual key to open the door which entails using a small screwdriver to pry off the keyhole cover, open the door, and hit the auxiliary battery button. This is difficult to do. It is a design feature of the car. Had I known this, I would not have bought it!"

    ""Its gas milage is not close to what it was advertised. I am a very experianced hybrid driver (my Ford 2010 is a hybrid and I bought it brand new and now has about 280K miles on it and I still get milage within 1 mile of advertised). Hyundai Tucson hybrid is off 34 miles per gallon from advertised and it only has about 5K miles on it. I have contacted the manufactures and they say it is in the range, I do not agree. I should be able to get close (within 1 mile) of advertised milage, given the vehicle is brand new and I am experienced hybrid driver and based upon my insurance driving monitoring software give me score of 97 (indeed Hyundai used to have a similar driving monitor app which I had signed up with and it showed my driving score as 95, based upon speed, braking, acceleration).""

    ""1. Sometimes when pulling out from intersection it stalls or delays. It has happened at least 6 times and a couple of times it was a safety issue. Hyundai Cust Service instructed me to take it to Hyundai Service for troubleshooting. They can't find the problem and tried to charge me for the service call. 2. While there, I showed them my average gas mileage of 27 MPG. They advertise 38/36...not even close. They also told me to never use ECO mode as that would hurt my mileage. I didn't believe her and asked her to repeat it, which she did. Obviously, that isn't true, and ECO mode is the default. So far, my experience has absolutely turned me off and I will never buy a Hyundai again. BTW, this was my first Hyundai.""
