Hello Readers:
We have a great little SUV, the 2011 – Tucson GLS (2.4l) by Hyundai . It’s a great ride and we have no regrets buying it and highly recommend it too…
BUT, last Friday, January 21st while driving approx. 350km while it was snowing…. We had a problem which forced us to stop and clean our Air Box and to Dry Off our $17 air filter with a hair dryer when we got hom….
I highly recommend having a spare one on board just in case your Drivers drive their 2011 Tucson’s in the winter while it’s snowing…. This is the story of the little SUV how thought it could but needs a little help and words of wisdom…
We also have pictures which we can poste for your information and to back –up our little warning to those other Tucson 2011 – GLS owners out there. Major damage can be done if this problem is not resolved.
We are now waiting for Hyundai Korea to come up with a permanent solution. What Hyundai Canada are saying is that this is an extreme weather related problem, which is a bogus answer in my book, a thorough Root Cause Analysis needs to be performed and a tangible long term solution(s) needs to be implemented. The storm we drove through was not extreme weather, but just a typical storm with very fine snowflakes (dry snow in my book).
Good Luck to all2011 Tucson GLS (2.4 liter) owners! If you have insights or are experiencing the same problem just let me know. It will help in building our case.
