NHTSA Complaint #10456809 — 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON

I PURCHASED THE TUSCON USED APPROX. 2.5 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST INCIDENT. AFTER WORK I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK COME "JUMP" MY VEHICLE. I WENT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THE BATTERY WAS BAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE NEXT DAY, WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE WORK, THE VEHICLE AGAIN WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE A "JUMP" A SECOND TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THE BATTERY WAS FINE, AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. TWO WEEKS AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR, I AGAIN HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE "JUMPED." I WENT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH WAS BRAND NEW, WAS BAD. I CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF SOMETHING CAUSING THE ALTERNATORS TO GO BAD LIKE I WAS DESCRIBING. *TR
