Why is my Hyundai Tucson 2016 window not working?

I had to replace the drivers side front window regulator in my 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited in June 2021. In August 2021 my front passenger side window stopped working. I left it in the closed position and am not repairing it at this time. I'm still paying off the $518.00 from the window repair in June 2021! Now a third window the rear passenger side is stuck in the down position as of today 11/7/2021! This is ridiculous and I have to repair this window because it's in the down position. All in all that would amount to $1500.00 in electric window repairs for a 5 year old vehicle! I have never had this issue with any other car I've owned. After reading this site and 2 other websites this is definitely a manufacturing issue with 2016 Hyundai's! I am going to write or email Tucson headquarters after reading about this same issue with many other Tucson's. Consumers should be reimbursed and there needs to be a recall!

Had to replace the guts on both front power windows.1000 dollars! Thanks hyundai, shoulda been a recall

My 2016 Tucson currently only has one functional window. I'm afraid to even touch the switch because I'm sure it will go out as well. One by one they are all quitting on me. So very sad. I really love my car but at $500/window to replace not sure if I wan to fork out $2000 to fix all 4!! I'm hoping Hyundai updates their recall and includes this issue...

If this anything like my Tucson, both my front windows stopped working. I had put then down after leaving the gym, and when I got home, they wouldn't roll up. Come to find out, a piece in the Window regulator panel was stripped, and had to replace the whole thing last summer. I was able to find the parts on ebay, and replace both window panels myself, with some help with a couple people I knew that knew more about cars and were able to walk me through the process. This was last summer (summer 2020), and now this summer my back windows are doing the same thing and now have to replace them. Smh.

I have the same problem with my Tucson windows. Two have stopped working within 10 days. If you have or have had this issue you need to call Hyundai Consumer Affairs at 800-633-5151. Unless you call they have no idea how big an issue this is. If they get a lot of calls they can issue a recall and you can get reimbursed for your expenses.

If the power windows on the hyundai tucson 2016 are not working then you need to check the motor and the wires powering it for damage.

I have Hyundai Tucson 2016 and only one window is working, regulador plastic materialis bad. When the Hyundaigoing to make a recall?

My 2016 Tucson now has 3 windows in need of repair.. 1st window driver side went out 1.5 year ago, 2nd window front passenger went out almost a year ago and left rear went out today. Each repair is very expensive and I’m now seeing I’m not the only one with this issue. What do we need to do to push for a recall? . . . A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. . . . Not having working windows are extremely dangerous especially driver side. If the locks decide to malfunction your only alternate option is not even an option. Also is I decide to replace these regulators will I have to go through this again after another 60,000 miles. It’s a problem they need to admit and fix. We have a 2000 Lexus, 06 Ford, 17 yr old Infinity, 10 yr old Nissan and we never had a window go out on any one of them.

My daughter has had 3 out of 4 windows not working and was quoted much higher price at dealership for repair. Clearly this should be a recall. Absolutely ridiculous.

I just had the drivers sid window motor replaced on my 2016Tucson 2 weeks ago and it cost me $504. Today my wife rolls down the passenger side and it will not come up. This is definitely a manufacturing problem and needs addressed by Hyundai.

Last week the driver side window of my 2016 Tuscan stopped working. It cost over $500 to fix. This week the window on the passenger side stopped working. I will be calling Hyundai Consumer Affairs tomorrow morning.

I’m having the same problem as others on this thread. Windows on my 2016 Hyundai Tucson stopped working at around 25,000 miles. Now, all 4 switches are bad. The dealership claimed to have never heard of this problem. I called the Hyundai consumer line at 800-633-5151 and they said there is no recall for this and warranty won’t cover it. Getting my windows fixed would be an out of pocket expense for me. Very frustrating seeing so many others are having the same problem.

I have the same issue. All 4 windows are out and it is due to stripped regulators. $500 a window for the part and that doesn’t include labor. I’m calling the customer care center to report it.Hopefully a recall will happen soon.

I have a 2016 Hyundia Tucson and both front windows and one back windows are broken. That is a big price to For the same problems. When will Hyundia make a recall on them . Around $ 1000.00 a window

My 2016 Hyundai Tucson had 48,000 miles, was only 4 yrs old and in 2020 driver window was inoperable-had to purchase regulator and motor that my husband repaired (couldn't afford the$2,000 at dealership!) In 2021 Driver left rear AND Passenger right front windows inoperable-Again, ACE mechanic husband repaired and contacted Hyundai corporation https://owners.hyundaiusa.com/content/myhyundai/us/en/contact-us/update-existing-case.html to create a case. Aug 2022 AGAIN Driver left and Now Passenger rear right windows inoperable!! YES HYUNDAI NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS-My dealership said there is no recall....it's because 10% of complaints will warrant a recall-PLEASE CONTACT AND COMPLAIN TO HYUNDAI! I Love my car, but am afraid to use the windows and pay thousands of dollars each year! NEVER have I ever had a problem with windows on a vehicle this new!

Same issues as everyone else is having with 2016 tuscon windows. Hyundai refuses to accept responsibility and now two months after having to fix all window regulators the motor in passenger front windows needs replaced. Getting second opinion.Have had more issues with the tuscon than ever with ford. Going back to a ford. Thank Hyundai……will definitely never recommend Hyundai

I’m on window #3 for my 2016.

Same issue on my 2015 Tuscon. Drivers side window failed first at 61K miles. This was a stripped gear in in the regulator that that power window motor engages to role the window up and down. Had to replace the whole regulator because the gear is not available. At 62K miles complete catastrophic engine failure (Hyundai covered the complete repair). 64K miles front passenger window not working. 65K miles both rear windows have stopped working. Obviously there is a serious issue with the gear in the regular not being the correct material or design causing premature failure. I agree Consumers should be reimbursed and there needs to be a recall

I had to replace the entire driver's side front window mechanism in late 2022. That cost was $700+. Now the other three windows are not working. I don't have $2,100 to spend on windows. I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Sport and the mileage is only 31,000. I have submitted a claim. One of the windows is being help up with packing tape on the inside and outside. I have owned three Hyundai vehicles. Not sure I will own another!!

My Tucson 2016 car window stuck up and down.

Reading these experiences, mine is identical to a T.... I have fixed my front two and I have yet to address my rear two. After calling for months, going to the dealership, filing complaints... Nothing has worked. Has anyone been able to make progress with contacting the customer service. They said the issue could not be escalated since I did not repair them directly with the dealership.. But a $250 diagnostic fee per window was not enough to justify me not going directly there. I just cannot quite understand if nearly every 2016-2020 Hyundai Tucson owner is experiencing this issue, why it has yet to be addressed.

2016 Tuscon that is driven 6-7 months a year and always in a garage. First the drivers window went and it was the entire mechanism (probably the stripped gear I am seeing here). Then one month later it was the passanger window. Each time I spend $1000 to fix and replace the guts. Next both back windows which I am refusing to fix. This should be a recall but if there arent enough of us to create a recall the dealership should at least cover the repair. I could see if it was a simple $50 switch or something but this is $1000 a window on a 20016 car. I have never had a window issue like this with a window and this is clearly not a one off window. ALL 4 WINDOWS on a car with less than 65K miles on it. COME ON HYUNDAI HELP US

I’m having the same issues with my windows in my 2016 Hyundai Tucson too!! Ridiculous!

Our Hyundai 2016 is our 4th Hyundai and our last . On 10-10-23 vechicle bought in for drivers side window not working -replaced motor assembly - checked system and all ok $395.64. On 10-26-23 again driver side window not working not even 2 weeks from last problem. Now Weisner Hyundai said “window regulator gear came apart. “ $543.73 charge - very angry - Now 12-5-23 passenger side window not working- checked website and realized Hyundai has a big problem after seeing hundreds of complaints about the electric windows. Contacted customer care and was given a contact person who came back and said nothing can be done -new charge for passenger window $556.65 diagnosed as window regulator - needless to say a recall is in Order - my granddaughter also has a Tucson 2016 and 3 out of 4 windows have had problems. We are at our wits end. Any suggestions ? Was going to write Corporate. Any help appreciated

I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson with 21,000 miles on it already has the passenger window and the driver's window doesn't work something's wrong with this car it's windows and I'm not happy it's a perfect condition but this is something really serious and it costs a lot to have fixed I think they should recall these cars and fix these windows there's a lot of them that are finally complaints against this company for the windows the imperfections of the parts they've used her plastic and they're breaking and falling apart I want to hear something about this on a recall I'm very upset and I will never buy another Hyundai until they fix this problem

This did help. Just knowing what to expect. Have a 2016 Tucson n driver window stopped working. Calling Hyundai tomorrow. I will get in touch with Hyundai consumer affairs number. I will see how that goes.

Can’t believe all of these posts. My driver side window stopped working about a year ago and throughout the year, all 4 of my windows have stopped working. 2016 as well… I have yet to bring it to the dealer and now I’m especially concerned considering everyone is spending hundreds of dollars on this fix.

I just had 3 windows go out in the span of a 3 month period. Its NOT good when you're in the desert! Arizona, USA

I have had my Tucson since February 2016, in the last 6mths I have replaced 3 out of the 4 electric window motors. Luckily I have a husband who has been able to source second hand parts and install ourselves wise it was going to cost $550 in parts and then labour going through Hyundai

Have a 2016 tuscon and now there are three windows that font work. Not to mention the oil it burns and ac is broken. I'll never buy another hyundai as I can see they dont take responsibility for this awful suv. I'm screwed!

All four of my windows have failed this is the same problem as everyone is having with this model as the plastic gear fails and is not fit for purpose. Hyundai won't admit that there is a problem let alone take any responsibility. We all need to put pressure on Hyundai to do a recall. Here are some email addresses I found that you can complain to. Service@hyundai-gs.com, sales@hyundai-gs.com, sales.us@hyundai-gs.com, ipinfo@hyundai.com, digitalcomm@hyundai.com, ConsumerAffairsTEST@hmausa.com

My 2016 Hyundai Tucson limited also has the same problem with the window regulator, all 4 have been replaced and now the rear drivers side is messed up, the window is down and won't come back up

Update: I watched a YouTube video on fixing the window switches with WD40 and it worked! I fixed all 4 of my windows switches with just the cost of a can of WD40 instead of spending thousands of dollars getting them replaced. It was a little tedious getting the door panels off and then getting the switch mechanism out but the job was completed in just about 2 hours for all 4 doors.

I have a 3016 Tucson and my back driver side window stopped working. Fuse is fine. After reading this thread I don’t want to use any of my other windows.

We now have the 4th window not working and our Tucson only has about 45,000 miles. After the third window Hyundai still claimed no recall and sorry out of warranty. We may seek legal advise.

I have experienced the exact same thing with 2016 Tuscon, driver side went out while under warranty, then passenger went out and now both rears are out. This is seriously a manufacturer defect.

We have 2016 Tuscon with 45000 miles and have replaced the motor and or regulator in two windows. We are now on our third non functioning window and I have a case pending with Hyundai. We have spent close to $1500 to repair two windows and all we have heard so far is sorry your vehicle is out of warranty. Glad I found this site now that we are dealing with a third window and know it is a common problem with this year and model.

I will never buy another car from Hyundai. I have problems with both my front windows with my 2016 Hyundai Tucson Sport. I have called Hyundai Consumer Affairs to get the problem fix but no one has called me back. This is a manufacturing issue.

I have a 2016 hyundai tucson limited and have 11,000 miles on it.My front window was half way down and would not go back up.I went to dealership and paid 900.00 and when I got home the back window won't go up or down now.I refuse to use that dealership ever again.This was my first new car after selling my Acura that ran for 30 yrs with no issues.This was my retirement car and I don't use it alot,but I didn't expect this.I can't afford to start replacing motors or regulators.I paid cash for my new car and did not expect to start having window problems on a car I barely use.The dealership should replace these parts and fix the problems.Its called good business and good customer relations.I feel like I was sold a lemon.IF this is the best you can do,you should not be in business.

II have four windows go out of me. The answer to fixing it is get rid of the car.

I had the same issue with the back window on the drivers side around March 2022 and now 10 months later the front windows on passengers side just blew as well! Will be another $600 to fix it!

Same case happened a week ago with the driver’s side window. First it stopped to roll down/up, was thinking might the fuse needed to be replaced. I checked it out and was ok. Long short story, I rolled down and didn’t could put it up. Now I’m afraid if this will happen in the other windows. Love my 2016 Tucson but this issue just isn’t right.

My 2016 Tuscon only has 20,000 miles. The driver window stopped working two months ago. The front passenger window stopped working yesterday. Absolutely ridiculous. I had a 2004 Elantra that had over 200,000 miles when I traded it in, and guess what, all the windows still worked.

My 2016 Tucson passenger back window is completely not working (so I do not operate it), but my driver side window makes a loud noise letting the window up. I probably will never buy a Hyundai again. Plus my engine burns a lot of oil and the dealership said they cannot do anything until the engine fails.

It’s the window gears. Window motors are fine. In one year, I have had to replace the gears on ALL FOUR DOORS!!! Hyundai uses cheap parts. Would never buy a Hyundai again.

Same as everyone above. 3 windows went out within a 3 month period. The part is almost $200 more than other makes/models and extremely hard to find. Maybe it's time we talk class action lawsuit.

My 2016 Tucson has had every window track or motor replaced. Fortunately I had purchased the 10 yr 100,000 mile warranty which covered all but my $100.00 deductable .. Well my warranty expired 1000 miles ago and sure enough the rear window went out this week. Dealer tried to get Hyundai, or warranty to cover it as it is a known manufacturer problem, but they declined! My cost was $797.00. I am not buying a Hyundai again!!

Tucson 2016 - My front driver window stopped working first, then my front passenger. Next my back left window stopped. I had all three fixed a month ago and now my 4th window rear is stuck in the down position. This is after both of my rear doors wouldn't open and I replaced my engine. Never again will I purchase a Hyundai.

I have a 2016 Tucson as well and as of this date I have had to replace 5 of the motor regulators on my windows in my car. It’s very frustrating!

My engine went out at 54k Hundyi fix it. Then when I picked it up 3 days ago the front windows wouldn't come down. I did hear motor running. Next day back window one on passenger side stop working. They said replacing the engine has nothing to do with the windows.

2016 Tucson 3 of the 4 windows are dead. 4th one likely to go soon at this rate. Called Hyundai Consumer Affairs. They basically said it’s on me to pay for it. Which is terrible because it’s clearly a manufacture defect. Any solutions past this? (I did ask to have my case pushed further and I’m waiting on a call back).

ALL 4 of my windows have stopped working over the course of less than a year. It has cost me over $2000 to fix and I was thinking this must be a manufacturing issue. The dealership says the motor and regulator aren’t working. I don’t even roll my windows down anymore.Hyundai needs to re call this and reimburse me

Both passenger and back right power windows are out. My 2016 Tucson has been a nightmare. The two front windows went out around 60K miles and the back window went out around 62K miles. Not only that but at 129K miles I’ve had to have the entire engine replaced. Thankfully Hyundai covered 85% of the cost but give me a break! Also, constantly having to replace right headlight. It will last maybe a month before it needs to be replaced. I still owe 5K on the car and wished I would have never purchased it. This will be my last Hyundai purchase ever!

I’m on window #2 now - this is crazy stupid

I have a 2016 and am on my 5th

My 2016 Tucson driver side window stopped working in up position 37k miles dealership said they could give me appt. 46 days from now.

My 2016 Tucson is having the same problem-windows stopped working. There is no recall on this yet. If you have a similar problem you need to call Hyundai Consumer Affairs at 800-633-5151 and let them know. That is how they know they have an issue needing a recall. If it is recalled then you can get reimbursed for this expensive repair.
