THE ESC LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL THESE ARE TIED TO TEH RECALL ON THIS MADE AND MODEL, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALER RUNS MY VIN, IT IS NOT ON THE LIST. I FEEL THIS IS IN ERROR ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ THE SAFETY RECALL INFO ON RECALL #13V113000, 09V122000, AND 11V472000. I AM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST WHEN THE VIN IS RUN AGAINST THE DATABASE SINCE THE DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS ARE DESCRIBED IN THESE KNOWN RECALLS. HOW DO I GET MY VIN PROPERLY INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO WORK ON IT AS PART OF THE RECALL UNLESS IT IS IN THE DATABASE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES.

AT ABOUT 61,253 MILES, ENGINE GASKETS WERE FOUND LEAKING AND VALVE COVER GASKETS & VALVE COVER SET WAS REPLACED. ALTERNATOR TESTED BAD AND WAS REPLACED. BATTERY TESTED BAD AND WAS REPLACED. OIL LEAKED FROM VALVE COVER/ENGINE AND DRIPPED ON ALTERNATOR CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY TO BECOME DEFECTIVE. CAR WAS PULLED INTO SERVICE STATION AS ENGINE STARTED PUTTERING AND POWER WAS DROPPING. A CLAIM WAS MADE TO HYUNDAI (CASE 17561397) WHO DENIED THE CLAIM SAYING THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED, CITING CAMPAIGN 121 (GUEST BECAUSE IT WAS SIMILAR) AND SAYING THAT IT COVERED THE CYLINDER COVER GASKET DID NOT INCLUDE THE VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKING AND CAUSING THE EXACT SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE. ATTACHED ARE REPAIR DOCUMENTS.

EVER SINCE WE HAD A RECALL WITH HYUNDAI ABOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE'S COVER, THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AND WOULD FLASH MANY SYMBOLS ON THE DASHBOARD. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THAT I WOULD PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAIT A COUPLE OF SECONDS, AND THE CAR WOULD START AGAIN. WE WENT TO OUR LOCAL AUTO SERVICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT TOLD US THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE A BIG ISSUE. AND WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED THE SECOND TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO HYUNDAI SERVICES TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE AND THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. BUT WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED THE THIRD TIME, SIMILARLY TO THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND THE SYMBOLS FLASHED. BUT THIS TIME, THE ENGINE STARTED TO SMOKE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START NO MATTER HOW LONG I WAITED. THIS LED MY FAMILY TO BE STUCK IN THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO CALL A TOW SERVICE TO PICK OUR CAR UP. WHEN WE TOLD HYUNDAI, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE IS THAT A ROD WHICH WAS A PART OF THE ENGINE, IMPALED THE ENGINE MOTOR AND MADE A QUARTER SIZED HOLE, WHICH LEAKED GASOLINE FROM THE CAR. WE TOLD HYUNDAI THAT WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE RECALL, BUT THEY DENIED AND SAID THAT WE MUST PAY FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WE FEEL WRONGED BY HYUNDAI AS THESE ISSUES OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL, AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 124,00 MILES ON IT. MY FAMILY ALSO TOOK EXTENSIVE CARE OF THE CAR THROUGHOUT THE 10 YEARS WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR. MY FAMILY AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT OTHER VERACRUZ OWNERS MIGHT HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE AS OURS, SO WE HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND OUR SITUATION. THANK YOU.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 186,000.

Bought my Veracruz in 2018. After not even a year I started experiencing problems with the charging system. Car would die overnight. Replaced a battery with the new one 3 weeks later same thing happened. Changed many sensors checked the fuses looked for parasitic draw... battery cables. Removed the alternator had it checked at advance auto it was surprisingly good. It was covered with oil leaking out of valve cover.. replaced the valve cover seal but the problem still remains. That leakage messed up my charging system. I cannot even drive the car safely anymore because the voltage keeps dropping rapidly. Even tho alternator is good it's not charging the battery while car is running. P0346 is the code I'm getting when I scan the vehicle. Check engine and TPMS are on. I won't even be able to pass emissions test next month due to this mess.

AS SOON AS I TURNED VEHICLE ON WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF EXHAUST SYSTEM AND SMELLS LIKE BURNING OIL. DROVE IT FOR A WHILE AND SMOKE WAS A BIT LESS BUT STILL CAME OUT ON EVERYTIME I MADE A STOP ALONG WITH THE SMELL.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND STAYS ON

SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 WE HAD BROKE DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. LOST ALL CONTROL OF CAR, NO STEERING, NO ACCELERATION, NO PARKING GEAR. MECHANICAL SAID THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK ABOVE THE ALTERNATOR. FRIED THE ALTERNATOR. YESTERDAY, WIFE WAS DRIVING, BROKE DOWN ON HIGHWAY. I LOOKED AT THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THERE IS OIL LEAKING FROM THE VALVE PAN GASKET DOWN INTO THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN. HYUNDAI SAYS MY MODEL OF 2008 VERACRUZ WASNT AFFECTED BY THE STANDING RECALL THAT IS ACTIVE RIGHT NOW. BUT I THINK MY CAR HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM WITH FAULTY VALVE PAN GASKETS. VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION, ALL DUMMY LIGHTS CAME ON. ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT ALLOW IS TO GET IT IN PARK. MECHANICS CHECKED THE BATTERY. BATTERY TESTED PERFECT. SAID IT HAD LOW VOLTAGE AND WASNT BEING CHARGED BY THE SYSTEM

EVERY TIME SOMEONE DRIVES THROUGH A TINY BIT OF WATER ON ANY ROAD, AT ANY SPEED, THE POWER STEERING CUTS OUT FOR LIKE 30 SECONDS. LOOSE ALL ABILITY TO SAFELY MANEUVER OFF THE ROAD. WE HAVE TO AVOID DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON RAINY DAYS BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO LOSE STEERING. IT SEEMS LIKE POSSIBLY THE BELT GETS WET AND SLIPS OR POSSIBLY SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE DUMMY LIGHTS ON THE DASH START FLICKERING AS WELL. IT HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON WET ROAD CONDITIONS, IT HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR CITY SPEEDS AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS.

THE ESC LIGHT WENT ON WHILE DRIVING, AND WHEN I STOPPED AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO PAST NEUTRAL.

VEHICLE ALTERNATOR WENT, SOMETHING IN DRIVESHAFT BROKE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO RIGHT ON ITS OWN INTO TELEPHONE POLE, SIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. RECALLS ARE OUT ON THESE ISSUES BUT NO ONE HAS COVERED VEHICLE LOSS AND LOAN.

MY ENGINE LEAKING ON THE ALTERNATOR AND MAKE THE CAR STOP ALL THE TIME I HAVE BEEN CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR BUT IT KEEP HAVING THE SAME ISSUE HYUNDAI USA CONTACT ME FOR A RECALL BUT NO FORWARD INIATIVE AND TOLD ME TO WAIT I MAKIYTHIS COMPLAINT TO MAKE IT RIGHT. THE VHICULE SINCE THEN TO DRIVE I HAVE TO JUMP START IT ALL THE TIME

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR HAS FAILED AND IT WILL COST $2600 TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND LIKE IT SHOULD NOT FAIL UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE SENSOR CAN NOT DETECT IF A CHILD OR ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, MAKING THE CAR INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES AS WELL. CLEARLY A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM!

THIS IS MOSTLY FROM MEMORY WITH MOST RECENT DATA REPORTED. MY 2008 VERACUZ HAS HAD THE VALVE COVER GASKET REPAIRED OR REPLACED A MINIMUM OF 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT ON 4/30/09 FROM O'BRIEN HYUNDAI. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. DEALER FOUND LEAK DURING OIL CHANGE AND ATTEMPTED TO SEAL WITH A SILICONE. THAT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND VALVE COVER GASKET WAS REPLACED. A YEAR PLUS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN I COULD NOT GOT FASTER THAT 35 MPH. WHEN I DROVE INTO MY DEVELOPMENT, THE MAX SPEED WAS 10 MPH. I BARELY GOT INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR STOPPED. IT TURNED OUT THAT OIL FROM A LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET HAD SHORTED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING ON THE BATTERY. CAR WAS TOWED AND BOTH THE ALTERNATOR AND VALVE COVER GASKET WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IN 2014, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET PROBLEM AND MY CAR WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, THE SERVICE TECH AT O'BRIEN HYUNDAI FOUND AN OIL LEAK DURING AN OIL CHANGE BUT WAS UNCERTAIN OF THE SOURCE. HE PUT A DYE IN THE OIL AND REQUESTED THAT I RETURN AFTER 2000 MILES SO HE COULD INSPECT FOR THE LEAK SOURCE. I TOOK IT BACK AFTER 2 WEEKS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LEAK WAS FROM THE TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKET. HOWEVER, THE TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKET, THE VALVE COVER GASKET, THE WATER PUMP AND THE ALTERNATOR WERE ALL REPLACED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. IN SEPTEMBER, THE "NEW" ALTERNATOR FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A DRIVE BELT AT MY EXPENSE. THE FACT THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES IN MY VEHICLE MAKES ME CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE DESIGN HAS A LATENT DEFECT WHICH CAN AND HAS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE LOSING POWER WHILE IN USED CREATING A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS ME THAT MY SITUATION IS NOT ATYPICAL AND SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED BY YOUR AGENCY.

IN NOV 2017 MY 2008 VERACRUZE (98K MILES ) STARTED LOSING POWER, INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING THEN IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY OILY ALTERNATOR. IT WAS REPAIRED. 1 YR 1 MONTH LATER EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN THE ALTERNATOR WAS OILY AND NEEDED REPLACED. NOW 2 WEEKS LATER I'M STARTING TO SEE THE WARNING SIGNS ( FLICKERING LIGHTS, DEAD BATTERY IN THE MORNING 1 TIME, POWER SEAT MEMORY POSITIONING BUTTONS NOT WORKING) CALLED NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ( OVER 2 HRS AWAY) TO VERIFY THAT MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BUT IT HAD BEEN REPLACED IN 2015. BUT THAT I COULD DRIVE IT TO SPOKANE, HAVE IT DIAGNOSED POSSIBLY HAVE TO RETURN OB A DIFFERENT DAY FOR REPAIR AND THEN CONTACT HYUNDAI TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP . ITS GOING TO COST $900 TO REPAIR! PLUS THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE OR TOW MY CAR 2 HRS AWAY FOR NO GUARENTEE HYUNDAI WILL AGAIN FIX THE GASKET.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT. I HAD A SERVICE TECH PULL THE CODES (B1448- OCS MAT DEFECT AND B1481 - HIGH RESISTANCE TOO HIGH(2ND STAGE) FOR DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE CODE POINTS TO THE CLOCK SPRING. THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE MODEL VERACRUZ'S BUT NOT ON MY VIN. HYUNDAI MAY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR VIN LIST. I HAVE THE CAR SITTING NOW UNTIL I GET THIS RESOLVED BY HYUNDAI. MY CAR IS THE EXACT SAME MODEL AND COLOR AS PICTURED HERE. HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/2011/09/RECALL-ALERT-2007-08-HYUNDAI-SANTA-FE-VERACRUZ/ HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY VIN. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO? HYUNDAI CASE # 11682549

THE GEAR SHIFT IS STICKING AND WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, TURNED ON IN A PARKING LOT WITH OTHER CARS AROUND.

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND I HEARD A NOSE SO THEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND SO AS I PUT IT IN GEAR TO DRIVE IT WENT ON IT OWN THE BRAKES WAS NOT WORK

THE CAR STOPPED WORKING 2 WEEKS AGO. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SO WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR DUE TO EXCESSIVE GREASE ON THE ALTERNATOR, AFTER DRIVING HOME THE CAR WOULDN'T START SO WE HAD TO TOW TO REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC TOOK ABOUT 2 DAYS TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR . WHEN WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK WHILE IN IDLE IT STOPPED WHILE IT WAS IN IDLE ABOUT 15 MILES FROM REPAIR SHOP .WE HAD TO AGAIN TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN AND BATTERY WHERE THE CAR IS RIGHT NOW. THE CAR AGAIN WOULD TURN OVER BUT AGAIN WOULD STOP RIGHT AWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKET WAS LEAKING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGED WIRES IN THE ENGINE/ALTERNATOR. THE VALVE COVER WAS REPLACED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO ACCORDING TO THE HYUNDAI RECALL RECORDS AT BOULDER HYUNDAI. OUR MECHANIC STATED AND HE WILL PUT THAT IN WRITING THAT THE VALVE JOB WAS SUBSTANDARD AND THE WORK 'SHODDY '.UPON RESEARCHING THE NHTSA OTHER OWNERS OF THE HYUNDAI 2008 VERACRUZ HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND ONE OWNER HAD THE VALVE COVER REPLACED 3 TIMES AND ARE STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE OR SALE SO I AM OUT ABOUT $7000.00 PER KELLY BLUE BOOK VALUATION FOR A WORKING CAR. WE ATTEMPTED ON SATURDAY, JUNE 9TH TO CHECK THE CAR TO SEE IF IT WOULD RUN AND AGAIN AFTER JUMPING THE CAR IT CUTS RIGHT OUT. I BELIEVE IF THE REPAIR ON THE RECALLED VALVES WAS DONE CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WOULD BE IN WORKING ORDER AND THE ALTERNATOR WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE EXCESSIVE GREASE ON THE ALTERNATOR.

HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN OIL LIGHT GLOWS BUT DOESN'T COME ON FULLY. AS DRIVER SLOWS TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD, OIL LIGHT COMES ON FULLY W/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND POWER STEERING QUITS-ALL AT ONCE, MAKING STEERING VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT WAS ON A TURN ON I-81. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. IN TERMS OF RELEVANT HISTORY, WHEN TRIP STARTED, NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. BUT INCIDENT CAME A FEW DAYS AFTER THE OIL LIGHT HAD GLOWED (NOT FULLY LIT). THE OIL WAS A TAD LOW BUT NOT A FULL QUART. IT WAS TOPPED OFF WHICH TURNED THE OIL LIGHT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD ALSO CAME ON BRIEFLY AT A DIFFERENT TIME FROM THE OIL LIGHT BUT AROUND THE SAME DAY AS THE OIL LIGHT. IT TOO HAD TURNED ITSELF OFF AFTER BEING ON BRIEFLY. SO THE DAY OF INCIDENT THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON AT ALL AND THERE HAD BEEN NONE ON EXCEPT FOR THAT BRIEF TIME I DESCRIBED ABOVE. PEOPLE HAVE SINCE SPECULATED THAT THE STEERING FAILED BECAUSE THE CAR HAD STALLED. I DID NOT THINK THAT THE CAR HAD STALLED. RATHER, IT JUST SEEMED AS THO THE POWER FOR THE STEERING HAD QUIT. ONCE THE CAR WAS AT THE SHOP, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A BAD BANGING SOUND WHEN THE CAR ENGINE WAS ON AND THE MECHANIC SPECULATED THAT A ROD HAD BROKEN. UNTIL THIS HAPPENED, THE ENGINE APPEARED TO RUN WELL AND THERE WAS NO BANGING SOUND OR ANY OTHER NOISE WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE SERVICE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE OIL WAS FULL BUT MENTIONED IT BEING ALL OVER. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I WAS VERY LUCKY.

MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON--GLOWING FAINTLY RATHER THAN BEING FULLY LIT. THE OIL LEVEL SEEMED DOWN A TAD SO I ADDED A QUART. LIGHT WENT OFF. CAR SAT FOR A DAY. WHEN I STARTED IT UP, IT SEEMED FINE. NO WARNING LIGHTS.I DROVE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. 20 MILES INTO MY TRIP THE OIL LIGHT FAINTLY GLOWED. SO I STOPPED. I STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN & THINGS INITIALLY APPEARED FINE. THE OIL LIGHT WAS OFF. BUT BEFORE I TRAVELED EVEN 1/8 OF A MILE OIL LIGHT & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE SAME TIME THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, I COULD NO LONGER (EASILY) STEER THE CAR. I'D LOST THE POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAD NOT STALLED. WITH CONSIDERABLE EFFORT I GOT THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE SERVICE STATION SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. 1 YEAR AGO--CAR HAS YET TO BE FIXED. THEY WON'T TELL ME IF THEY'LL PAY COST OF REPAIR IF THEY DETERMINE THE ENGINE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO RECALL-RELATED PROBLEMS. THE COST OF HAVING CAR TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP & DIAGNOSTIC WORK IS TOO HIGH. AS THEY REFUSE TO TELL ME WHAT WOULD BE COVERED IF DAMAGE WERE DUE TO THE RECALL ISSUE, IT IS POINTLESS TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED AND EVALUATED. THEY NEED TO TELL ME IF THEY WOULD COVER COSTS IF THEY IT IS RECALL RELATED DAMAGE. THEY WON'T ANSWER THAT BASIC QUESTION. IT WON'T BE REPAIRED UNTIL THEY DO.IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I HAD THE ORIGINAL ARGUMENTS WITH THEM. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ANSWER A BASIC QUESTION: IN THE EVENT THAT THE FAULTY PARTS RELATED TO THE RECALL HARMED AN ENGINE WITH 170000, WILL THEY PAY FOR ENGINE REPAIRS-YES OR NO. THAT DOES NOT EVEN REQUIRE THEY LOOK AT THE CAR. IF THE ANSWER IS "NO" I WOULD NOT SPEND MONEY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY HAVE CHARGED ME BEFORE FOR WORK THAT WAS DUE TO ANOTHER RECALL.I HAD TO REFUSE TO PAY AND WRANGLE WITH THEM IN ORDER FOR THEM TO RELEASE THE CAR WITHOUT CHARGING ME FOR THE COST OF RECALL RELATED REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE ABS MODULE MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AND FLAMES IGNITED FROM THE BATTERY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY ATTENDANTS FROM A NEARBY AUTO BODY SHOP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESTROYED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 144,000.

THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AND ANOTHER CAR CAME INTO MY LANE. I PRESSED THE BRAKES NATURALLY BUT MY VEHICLE SPED UP INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN. I CONTACTED THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, PRESSING THE BRAKES WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SPEED UP! I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT IT COULD LEAD TO FATALITIES!

THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINS. SOMETIMES ITS BECAUSE THE LIGHTS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, OR THE RADIO COMES ON, OR THE WIPERS TURN ON, OR THE AC TURNS ON, OR THE BLOWER IN THE REAR TURNS ON. THESE ITEMS WILL STAY ON ALL NIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND DRAIN THE BATTERY COMPLETELY. I HAVE TRIED TO REMOVE THE SPECIFIC FUSES IE. THE RADIO, BUT THEN ITS THE BLOWER THAT STAYS ON. I REMOVE THAT FUSE AND ITS THE LIGHTS THAT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE BETTER PART OF 2 YEARS.

THE ESC STICKS ON RANDOMLY. I'VE REPLACE MANY, MANY BRAKE LIGHTS IN THIS VEHICLE.

VALVE COVER GASKETS LEAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FAILURES WITH THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO J.D. BYRIDER (1525 GALLATIN PIKE N, MADISON, TN 37115, (615) 860-3838) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED FOR FREE PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE ALTERNATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NO RECORD OF THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR AND SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT CALL THE DEALER AGAIN WITH AN INVOICE NUMBER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HONOR HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AGAIN AT NO CHARGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH OFF AND BACK ON WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNALS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. VERY SCARY. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES. SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE REPLACING HEADLIGHT SWITCH (CONTROL STALK).

This is a complaint about the failure of the Hyundai company to respond in a timely matter to a recall issued in Nov. 2020 (NHTSA 20V-705/Hyundai Recall 197) which can affect the alternator and electrical system of the vehicle. The company has not yet issued a resolution and so the dealers will not perform the necessary repairs needed to avoid a breakdown. This is the second recall issued for the exact same problem. Hyundai stated they would issue a remedy but have failed to do so and it has been 8 months. I am asking NHTSA to require the company to provide a remedy so as to avoid a potentially dangerous system failure. I have been through an electrical system failure once already while in traffic due to this precise problem. It could have been deadly. Something needs to be done and Hyundai is dragging its feet. Please intervene.

OIL IS DRIPPING FROM THE VALVE COVER GASKET ON TO THE ALTERNATOR WHICH WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN ON THE ROAD. MY TRUCK IS JUST LIKE MY SONS 2010. HIS TRUCK HAS BEEN RECALLED WHY NOT MINE. WE HAVE THE SAME TRUCK JUST A DIFFERENT YEAR.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, his vehicle stalled as several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they discovered a leak in the valve cover gasket which spilled engine oil on the alternator. The alternator was replaced and it was later discovered that his vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V415000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where the recall was performed and he was reimbursed for the alternator. Despite the recall repair, the contact stated that the failure occurred an additional four times and numerous repairs were performed on the vehicle without fixing the vehicle. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.
