Common problems with the 2014 Hyundai Tucson

Recently our 2014 Hyundai Tucson has had a spate of problems all at once. Both front door actuators have stopped working, the driver’s window regulator is not working, the car will lose power driving but the revs skyrocket, and there is a terrible knock in the steering column. Our previous Hyundai had a broken steering column. Are these common problems?

Whenever you see a bunch of problems all occurring at once, the car’s body computer becomes a prime suspect. This computer is what controls functions such as door locking, power mirrors and windows, the anti-theft measures, cruise-control, lighting, wipers, powered seats, the dashboard and much, much more. All these functions can go haywire or stop working altogether (and all at once) when the body computer says it’s had enough.

Since your car has electrically controlled steering, the body computer will have a say in that as well, which could explain the weird noises. But either way, you shouldn’t drive the vehicle any farther. Any noises or strange symptoms in a car’s steering could mean a sudden loss of control at the worst possible moment.
