2019 SE NAV + 2019 Hyundai Tucson - 2019 Hyundai Tucson Starting issue. - Bigdaveg

Hi all

My Tucson's had no issues starting until today. in short this happened;

Normal key; Opened all ok, turn key= nothing (car battery lots of juice)..

Tried several times, all the same.

Got spare key ; car started first time and every time when tried.

No issue with spare key, contacted Hyundai dealership, response it's the remote's battery and not a key fob programming issue.

Changed the original fob's battery; started car at first attempt, but no more after that, reset fob (turn to acc & press open), car started once but not again, tried spare fob again and no issues at all.

I suspect that the original fob is faulty but have concerns that there maybe a bigger issue and that the spare key may stop working.

Anyone come across the same problem or have any ideas please ?.

Also would a faulty fob come within the car's 5 year warranty please ?.

If this is a standard metal blade key and remote , then the fob battery is only needed to lock / unlock car . Nothing to do with starting the car . From your description, and the fact the spare key works ok, o would say the first key has an issue.

Thanks for reply, I suspect a faulty fob, I don’t suppose it’s covered under warranty and assume a replacement would cost a lot ?

Hopefully at 2 years old there will be some warranty on the fob .

Unless the fob shows signs of external damage - like its been dropped / dogs chewed it then it should be fixed / replaced under warranty.

Or perhaps got wet?
