How are the 2011 and 2012 years holding up as far as corrosion is concerned?
Also drive on salted roads. Some places are using Magnesium chloride on the roads and that stuff is murder on even painted parts. Just purchased a 2013 new and would like to know what to expect.

Thanks for the update.
So far the new 2013 Tucson is performing well. Really lots of road noise, but Appears to be the tires because on certain roads the noise is almost gone. There appears to be a good amount of undercoating and noise suppression stuff under the vehicle, but they also overlooked a lot too !! We should be getting some snow soon and we'll see if the tires are worth the noise.

Salt belt state
Boy, if I have to do another brake lamp switch recall I think I'll puke! lol Getting ready to do my first subframe recall next week, but we had trouble getting it passed as it is a North Carolina car and they don't consider it to be a "salt belt state." :
How in the heck do they not think NC is "NOT" a salt belt state. They should see the amount of salt laid down on our roads in the winter up here in the mountains.

I’m in VA and my 2005 just failed inspection because of the corrosion. I have an appt the 22nd at dealership for the recall.

I just filed this complaint on the NTHSA site:
Hyundai Tucson 2007 159,020 miles
"Complete rusting out of rear subframe assembly and attached components that resulted in failure of this component to allow me to maintain proper control of vehicle. The rear end of my Tucson began to sway violently. I searched the internet for this issue and saw that Hyundai did have a recall for the rust out of this component on certain vehicles and that other Tucson owners have had this issue. I took it to a Hyundai dealership, they submitted pictures and an estimate to Hyundai. Hyundai refuses to repair the rear suspension. They know this is an issue with these components during these years."
The Hyundai dealer told me it would cost around 5K for the repair, lots of torching to get the parts off. I am going to price out everything myself and see if Midas will put everything on, they deal with rusted on components all the time otherwise if the parts are too expensive, I'll scrap it.If you are going to purchase a Hyundai Tucson, make sure to inspect the rear suspension and underbody, if there is any rust DO NOT BUY IT. There is a Hyundai recall for a rust prevention treatment that can be helpful prior to getting the rust.
Search Youtube for the 19 second video "Hyundai rear subframe error", this is EXTREMELY dangerous.
