    Actually, ladder frames are generally more susceptible to flexing compared to unibody construction. The Tucson clearly has a design flaw when the chassis flexes too much, preventing the doors from performing properly on an uneven surface.

    Big difference in that Ladder frame may flex but returns to normal position while unibody once it flexed beyond its designed limits, may misalignment na permanently.

    Again, the 2 design have their own pros and cons the same way that all cars do so as well.

    Going back to the original issue above. Where before I thought the flex is inherent and normal, doors that that open with a little body flex are dangerous, especially in a collision.

    A stiff warp-resistant body is what enables the passenger cell of a car to remain intact in a collision. Take away that all the safety advances of the last 20 years, including airbags, belt pretensioners, whiplash-reducing seats, etc. are defeated.

    Better inform the manufacturer of your problem. They can tell you whether or not your car has a manufacturing defect. It's probably not a design defect because the IX got 5-stars in Euro NCAP.

    Cheers

    Pati sa Santa Fe nagkaka-ganyan din.
    so sir SG mabibigyan ng HARI or hyundai ung friend ko ng written report na talagang "part of design" ng Hyundai TucsonIX ang body flexing? Since ung friend ko humihingi ng written report from HARI, pero sadly they ddnt give him any.

    Sir this question just came out of my mind, is it possible that car manufacturers send "different" [lower class materials] vehicles to type c markets like our country? maybe in order to have more profits?

    since as of this time we are not hearing any complaints about body flexing of tucsonIX from the US?

    Yung Santa Fe minsan ganyan din.

    Other CUVs like CR-V, X-Trail.

    Basta no worries kamo, normal yan

    Wag nalang sya masyado mag park sa uneven surface

    sige nga sir banggitin ko nga sakanya, since ung brother nya may current model din na CRV, lets see kung maconvince siya na normal un on CUV's. kasi as of now, talagang convinced sya na sira ang unit na nabigay sakanya eh..
    anoter thing, he considers his car as an SUV, meaning tipong it can go anywhere or can be used in wide varieties.. haha

    P.S to my friend who might be reading this, peace man! haha
