2007 Hyundai Entourage Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V556000 (SUSPENSION) HAD SURPASSED A REASONABLE TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON STEADY AND THERE WAS NO POWER/PICKUP WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. TOP SPEED MAY HAVE BEEN 10MPH. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT AS IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED (SEE HYUNDAI TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-FL-010 FOR SPECIFICS). A LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO JOIN TRAFFIC COULD INCREASE THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE A GENERAL RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT AT HYUNDAI EXPENSE. *TR

REAR LIFT GATE WILL NOT CLOSE WHEN POWER BUTTON IS PUSHED HAS TO BE SHUT BY FORCE. HARD TO OPEN GETS STUCK WHEN DEPRESSING HANDLE. *TR

IN VERY COOL WEATHER (30 DEGREES OR LOWER ) SLIDING DOORS FREEZE SHUT, CAN T OPEN FROM OUT SIDE OR INSIDE THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE 2/2011 SOME PART WAS REPLACE IA WAS OK UNTIL NOW. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE ? I FEEL THAT IT MAYBE WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE HAS TO EXIT FAST ? *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS AND VEHICLE STARTS SLOWING DOWN HEAD LIGHTS , BRAKE LIGHTS, INST. PANEL LIGHT, RADIO WOULD CUT OUT FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND COME BACK ON. STARTED OFF DOING IT 1 A WEEK , A COUPLE DAYS , NOW IT DOES IT CONSTANTLY WHEN CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. DON'T GO OFF WHILE AT IDLE. OTHER DRIVERS FLASH THEIR LITES AT ME OR BLOWS THEIR HORN' ESPECIALLY CARS THAT ARE FOLLOWING ME. *TR

SLIDING PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED ON ITS OWN GOING AROUND A TURN, SPEED WAS ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. ALARM BELL SOUNDED, I STOPPED CAR CHECKED DOOR RECLOSED AND LOCKED IT. *TR

WE NOTICED A LOUD THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM DRIVERS SIDE TIRE AREA, WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD US THE LEFT SWAY BAR ENDLINK AND INNER TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I TOLD THEM THAT I THOUGHT THAT THE CAR HAD TO FEW OF MILES FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO GO WRONG TO WHICH THEY REPLIED "WELCOME TO THE WORLD HYUNDAI THEY USE CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS", NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS UPSET. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE CAR TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR COULD RUN OVER A $1,000.00 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. I HAVE GONE ON LINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THE PROBLEM, THAT IS IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ENTIRELY RECLINED BACK ONTO THE REAR LEFT PASSENGERS SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 09/09/14*LJ

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY HYUNDAI IS BELOW, HOWEVER, THE HYUNDAI DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE SINCE THEY SAY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED - HELP. REPORT RECEIPT DATE: APR 15, 2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V122000 COMPONENT(S): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC SUMMARY: HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 532,633 MY 2006-2007 ACCENT, ENTOURAGE, SONATA, MY 2007 AZERA, ELANTRA AND SANTA FE, MY 2005-2007 TUCSON AND MY 2007-2008 VERACRUZ VEHICLES. THE STOP LAMP SWITCH IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY MALFUNCTION. A MALFUNCTIONING STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED OR MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. A STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTION MAY ALSO AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKE-TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK FEATURE SO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, AND IT MAY NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. CONSEQUENCE: ANY OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS, ALONE OR IN COMBINATION, MAY LEAD TO A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STOP LAMP SWITCH FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 29, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151. NOTES: HYUNDAI RECALL NO. 092. OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV . *TR

BEGINNING IN AUGUST OF 2013 OUR ENTOURAGE STARTED EXPERIENCING EPISODES OF RANDOMLY NOT STARTING, WITH EPISODES OCCURRING ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS, SOMETIMES MORE OFTEN, SOMETIMES LESS. FOR AWHILE WE SUSPECTED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY, BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY TWICE NOW, WE KNOW IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY. WE DO KNOW NOW THAT IT IS A CONDITION KNOWN AS AN INTERMITTENT, NO CRANK/NO START. WE DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE WHY; HOWEVER, WE SUSPECT, PER A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PUT OUT IN AUGUST OF 2007THAT WE FOUND (#07-90-009), THAT IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY IPM MODULE. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BULLETIN OR TO COVER THE REPAIRS SINCE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND A DIAGNOSTIC IS PROVING FUTILE (PER OUR EXPERIENCE OF HAVING A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED THAT TURNED UP NOTHING) SINCE THE PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF AFTER SITTING FOR SOME TIME, THEREFORE, BY THE TIME THE MECHANIC IS ABLE TO SEE IT IS NO LONGER EXHIBITING THE PROBLEM, SO WE ARE LEFT NOT ONLY NOT KNOWING WHEN OUR VEHICLE WILL START ON A RECURRING BASIS BUT UNSURE AS TO WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. ALSO THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) LIGHT WON'T GO OFF, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE, LITTLE TO NO HELP. THEY CONFIRMED THE ONLINE ALLDATA REPAIR NOTICE THAT SAID THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THEY COULDN'T TELL ME IF REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER RECALL. THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT LOCAL DEALER AND HAVE CAR DIAGNOSED AT MY COST. *TR

NOTICED CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ACTIVATING AND THEN NOT DEACTIVATING WHEN MANUALLY BRAKING. UPON ARRIVAL AT DESTINATION, WHEN ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE REMAINING ON AND DRAINING THE BATTERY. UNABLE TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCES OF ESC INDICATOR GOING ON AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES AND REMAINING ON. DURING THOSE TIMES, VEHICLE FEELS AS IF BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED EVEN WHILE I AM ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ON A STRAIGHTAWAY. VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE SO SLOW AS IF BRAKES ARE ENGAGED. FOUND THAT STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION COMPLETELY WILL SOMETIMES RESET THE CAR. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE WAS AWFUL!!!! SAID THE STOPLAMPSWITCH ON MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED THROUGH A PREVIOUS RECALL SO THEY CANNOT REPLACE IT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AGAIN. THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SAME PART AND PROBLEM! I'VE DONE THAT TWICE BEFORE (PAID FOR DIAGNOSIS OF FAULTY SLIDING DOORS WHICH IS WHY I CAME IN TO BEGIN WITH) ONLY TO BE TOLD THE ERRATIC AUTOMATIC SLIDING SIDE DOORS WILL COST ME $600 EACH TO BE FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. DOORS SHOULD OPEN AND CLOSE BUT WE HAVE HAD TO LIVE WITH NON-WORKING DOORS FOR OVER 5 YEARS BECAUSE HYUNDAI WOULD NOT FIX THEM FOR FREE AS THAT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE FOR THEM. SHAMEFUL SERVICE. *TR

DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT MY ESC OFF/ON LIGHT CAME ON. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANT, BUT KEPT DRIVING. UPON ARRIVAL AT HOME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME OFF. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE THEM GO OFF IS DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLE. UPON FURTHER TEST THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AS WELL SO THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL WHETHER OR NOT I WAS ABOUT TO STOP. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE 800 NUMBER IN REGARDS TO A RECALL THAT I SAW ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE ISSUE AND THEY SAY MY VEHICLE IS NOT IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL AND THAT I NEED TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. THE ISSUE SEEMS AMAZINGLY SIMILAR TO THE 2009 RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN, HE HEARD AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING SOUND. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE STRUTS, FRAME AND CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,808.

I WAS STOPPED BEHIND A VEHICLE TURNING LEFT, AND A LINE OF CARS CAME THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEHIND ME. THE CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME WAS UNAWARE THAT I WAS STOPPED BECAUSE APPARENTLY MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND THE DRIVER HAD TO SWERVE QUICKLY INTO THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC; THE CAR BEHIND HIM SWERVED INTO THE RIGHT BREAKDOWN LANE. WE ARE FORTUNATE WE WERE NOT HIT AND THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS HIT. ASSUMING THE FAULT WAS WITH THE OTHER DRIVER, I CONTINUED DRIVING OUR ENTOURAGE UNAWARE OF THE ONGOING PROBLEM, ONLY TO DISCOVER ON THE HIGHWAY LAST NIGHT AFTER DARK THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR CLOSE TO A MONTH THIS WAY--THE ESC LIGHT HAS ALSO BEEN ON THAT LONG--NOT REALIZING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ALSO AFFECTING THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 2009. THOUGH EVERY WEBSITE I'VE CONSULTED INCLUDES THE ENTOURAGE IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, HYUNDAI MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT INCLUDED. IT BEFUDDLES ME THAT A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING THE 07 ENTOURAGE IS BEING COMPLETELY IGNORED BY HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS PARTICULARLY TROUBLING BECAUSE OWNERS WILL NOT KNOW THAT THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FAILING TO ENGAGE, UNLESS AN ACCIDENT OR NEAR ACCIDENT OCCURS. EVEN THEN, (LIKE OUR FAMILY) THEY MAY NOT REALIZE THE PROBLEM. UNLESS A RECALL IS ISSUED/HONORED, THE ONLY WAY TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM IS TO HAVE IT WHILE OPERATING THE CAR. IN OUR CASE, MY CHILDREN RIDE EVERYWHERE WITH ME IN THE ENTOURAGE. I SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE TWICE, AND GOT NOWHERE. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER HYUNDAI IN THE FUTURE. *TR

MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE SE MINIVAN SUFFERS FROM A INTERMITTENT START ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THE VAN USED IN 2012 WITH 82,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE HAD DOOR ISSUES, WHERE THEY DO NOT LATCH CORRECTLY AND ENGINE ISSUES, ELECTRICAL ISSUES, AND TIRES WEAR UNEVENLY. IT HAS NOT BEEN A GREAT PURCHASE. THE VAN NOT STARTING IS THE REAL ISSUE, HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS. WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IT EITHER STARTS THE ENGINE OR THERE IS NO IGNITION. THE LIGHTS AND FANS STILL WORK JUST NO IGNITION. THE FIX, I READ ONLINE THAT IF YOU HIT THE FUSE PANEL BELOW THE STEERING WHEEL THAT RESETS THIS ERROR. IT WORKS, IT SHOULDN'T BUT IT DOES. THE CLOSEST DEALER IS 30 MILES AND THEY HAVE QUOTED ME UP TO A 600.00 TO FIX. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY HYUNDAI. IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VAN. THE VAN HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR MOTOR ISSUES WITH THE SLIDING SIDE DOORS. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VAN WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SIDE DOORS POPPING OPEN WHILE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. UPON THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SLIDING SIDE DOOR THAT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY I WAS TOLD THAT THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DESPITE THE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS I HAVE HAD ABOUT THE SLIDING DOORS. THE COST WAS OVER $150 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR FOR THE DOOR. CURRENT ISSUE IS THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER LEARNING OF RECALL ONLINE AND THEY STATED THIS WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND NO RECALL WAS ISSUE ON MY VAN AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE COST. AFTER READING SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS THE ISSUE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE VIN SPECIFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V356000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *TR

ON A NIGHT GOING HOME FROM WORK, WHEN IT HAVE SLEETED A CO-WORKER WAS FOLLOWING ME AND NOTICED I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEN MY ESC LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A HUGE PROBLEM UNTIL THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN I HAD MY CAR TESTED AND IT COME BACK AS A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH MALFUNCTION AND WHEN I WAS SEARCHING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE PART I NOTICED HYUNDAI HAD A RECALL ON THAT PART BUT BECAUSE THE RECALL HAS BEEN CLOSED THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT ON MY VAN FOR ME AND I DID NOT OWN THE VAN UNTIL 2011 SO I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE DEALER ALSO NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING, I AM UPSET THAT A RECALL CAN CLOSE I BELIEVE THEY MANUFACTURE SHOULD MAKE SURE ALL OF THERE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN FIXED SO NOW BEFORE I HAVE A ACCIDENT FOR HAVING NO BRAKES LIGHTS I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REPLACE THIS SWITCH.. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SEAT BROKE UNDERNEATH,NOW WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH. *TR

DRIVING AUTO AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED TO STOP AT DESIGNATED STOP SIGN. BRAKES FAILED TEMPORARY UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUMPED RAPIDILY. AUTO TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT REPAIRMAN. FOUND A RECALL ON THIS AUTO-RECALL 09V122000 --HYUNDAI RECALL NO 092. PART AFFECTED IS THE STOP LAMP SWITCH. LOCAL HYNDAI DEALER WAS CALLED BY REPAIR SHOP AND TOLD THAT AUTO WAS NOT COVERED AS IT WAS MADE IN KOREA? FROM THE SUMMARY ON THE RECALL, WE HAVE ALSO SOME OF THE MALFUNCTIONING PROBLEMS: STOP LIGHT STAY ON, SHIFT INTERLOCK SO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK. IN SEPTEMBER WE HAD A PROBLEM WHICH WAS DIAGNOSSED AS A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH WAS REPLACED. NOW A DETERMINATION HAS BEEN MADE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BE DEFECTIVE AGAIN. I CALLED HYNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS AUTO, BY VIN NUMBER, WAS NOT ON RECALL. THANK Y OU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED. ESC LIGHT REMAINS ON. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. HYUNDAI REFUSE TO FIX FREE OF CHARGE, EVEN THOUGH PART OF RECALL#09V122000. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED DUE TO A FAULTY STOP SWITCH. SEEMS SIMILAR TO ISSUE FOUND/COVERED BY CAMPAIGN 110. *TR

MY VAN WOULDN'T START ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS ON THIS DAY. HAD TO TURN THE KEY 3-4 TIMES EACH. OVER THE NEXT 2 YEARS IT HAPPENED PERIODICALLY, BECOMING MORE FREQUENT, SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY, TWICE A WEEK OR ONCE EVERY 10 DAYS OR SO. VAN CAN'T BE JUMPED BECAUSE THERE IS POWER, TRIED PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL THEN PARK AGAIN BUT STILL WOULDN'T START. TRIED FOR 20 MINUTES THEN WALKED AWAY FOR 30-60 MINUTES & VAN STARTED IMMEDIATELY UPON TRYING. DEALERSHIP "THINKS" IT'S THE IPM. FINALLY GOT THAT REPLACED BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THEIR TOP MECHANIC PUT THOSE NOTES IN THE COMPUTER SO THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED SERVICE SUPERVISOR THAT MY REAR SLIDING DOOR LOCK ISN'T WORKING BEFORE I EVER LEFT THE LOT (NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF). 3 DAYS LATER VAN WOULDN'T START. HYUNDAI TECHNICAL SAYS TO CHECK GROUND WIRES. 2 DAYS AFTER GETTING VAN BACK IT WOULDN'T START & ANOTHER 2 DAYS LATER BOTH SLIDER DOORS & REAR HATCH LOCKS STOPPED WORKING (NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS DROPPED OFF). NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE ALL 3 FAILED LOCK SENSORS. THEY MESSED IT UP!!!! I'M NOT PAYING FOR THE REPAIR!!! THEY CLAIM THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANYONE IN THEIR 2 STORES WITH A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR IS PATRONIZING, LIES ABOUT THINGS MY HUSBAND HAS SAID, LIES ABOUT NOT GETTING MY VOICE MAIL WHEN I DIAL HIS EXTENSION DIRECTLY & PROBABLY DOESN'T TELL THE MANAGER EVERYTHING & CONTRADICTS HIMSELF. FOUND THIS WEBSITE & IT'S AMAZING TO SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING. NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. WHO WANTS TO SIT IN THE HOT FLORIDA SUN TRYING TO START THEIR VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR? BEEN THERE DONE THAT TOO MANY TIMES. TIRED OF THIS CRAP! I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED! THEY JUST WANT TO SELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED ILLUMINATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V122000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A LOCAL HIGHWAY WITH NO MEDIAN, AT APPROXIMATELY 40-43 MPH. IT WAS ABOUT 7:30 IN THE EVENING ON A FRIDAY AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. THE HOOD OF MY ENTOURAGE SUDDENLY POPPED OPEN HITTING MY WINDSHIELD AND OBSCURING MY VIEW. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN ONTO THE SHOULDER, WHICH IS ALSO MINIMAL IN THAT LOCATION DUE TO A DITCH. I AM VERY GRATEFUL THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I ARE SAFE, THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE AND NO ONE HIT US AND THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANY OTHER STATIONARY OBJECTS OR END UP IN THE DITCH DUE TO MY INABILITY TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE HOOD SHOULD OPEN BY ITSELF. NO ONE HAD OPENED IT FOR MONTHS. I HAD BEEN DRIVING UP AND DOWN THAT STRETCH OF ROAD, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA TO MY CAR. NO ACCIDENTS, NOTHING HIT THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRING. IT JUST SUDDENLY FLEW OPEN. IT WAS BENT OUT OF SHAPE, DIFFICULT TO CLOSE, DETACHED FROM THE SIDE SUPPORT ARMS THAT HOLD IT OPEN WHEN SERVICING THE ENGINE. A WRECKER DRIVER PULLED OVER AND OFFERED ASSISTANCE, WE WERE ABLE TO CLOSE IT TOGETHER AND HE HAD TO USE A LARGE WRENCH (I THINK I AM NO MECHANIC) TO ADJUST THE LATCH IN ORDER TO EVEN CLOSE THE HOOD, LET ALONE SECURE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT SATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT SEPARATED FROM THE METAL BASE AND CAUSED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WOULD MOVE FREELY WHILE THE CONTACT DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI AND ASKED ABOUT RECALLS, THEY SAY THERE ARE NONE. BUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO STAY ON AND MY CEL IS ON AND IT SHOWS A BAD COMPUTER. I FEEL THE COMPUTER SHOULD BE REPLACED BY DEALER NOT AT MY EXPENSE. *JS

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IT UNEXPECTEDLY DOES NOT ALLOW ACCELERATION TO OCCUR. THE CAR STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING A NEAR ACCIDENT. HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MIDDLE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,150 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE STEERING BUSHING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,100.

DRIVING A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE VAN ON THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 30, 2011 WE CAME TO A STOP FOR A RED LIGHT. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TWO SECONDS LATER WE WERE REARED ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH. MY SPOUSE AND I EXPERIENCED SEVERE WHIPLASH. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE THAT CRASHED INTO US CLAIMED SHE NEVER SAW OUR STOP LIGHTS. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I DISCOVERED THERE WERE TWO RECALLS FOR OUR VAN (06V356000 & 09V122000) RELATED TO INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES. WE PURCHASED THE ENTOURAGE IN 2009, BUT NEVER WAS TOLD OR NOTIFIED OF EITHER RECALL. ALTHOUGH THE OTHER DRIVER WAS A FAULT, I BELIEVE THAT SHE MAY HAVE BEEN TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT NOT SEEING THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS ON THE 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE SINCE THEN (13V113000 AND 13V556000) BUT WE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF EITHER. I PLAN TO SUBMIT A SEPARATE COMPLAINT REGARDING THE OTHER RECALLS ISSUES. WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT WERE ARE NOT TOLD ABOUT OR RECEIVE RECALL NOTICES OR DEFECTIVE PART ISSUES. I'M GUESSING THAT NHTSA/ODI WOULD RECEIVE MORE COMPLAINTS, BUT PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE SHADY NON-DISCLOSURE PRACTICES OF DEALERSHIPS. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT I HAVEN'T SUBMITTED, BUT WILL TALK WITH YOU ABOUT IF YOU SO DESIRE. *TR

WE WERE RECENTLY DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY, WHEN THE ESC OFF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY ENGINE WAS STILL ON, BUT I LOST ACCELERATION AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VAN. I HAD TO DO THIS THREE TIMES BEFORE THE ESC OFF LIGHT TURNED OFF AND I REGAINED THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS EVERY MORNING I WILL START THE VAN AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS, I HAVE TO LEAVE THE VAN ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE ESC OFF LIGHTS TURNS OFF AND I REGAIN ACCELERATION. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE WE'RE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE HIGH WAY AND LOSE POWER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR AND THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

POWER SLIDING DOORS DO NOT STAY CLOSED, EVEN IF CAR HAS BEGUN MOVING. SOMETIMES REOPEN AND CLOSE RATHER THAN LATCHING SHUT, AND HAVE TO BE CLOSED MANUALLY. ONE SIDE HAS STOPPED OPERATING ALL TOGETHER AND MUST BE USED MANUALLY. DOOR BEING USED MANUALLY IS TO HEAVY FOR CHILDREN TO OPERATE SAFELY AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. ISSUE STARTED SHORTLY AFTER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND HAS BEEN PERSISTENT OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR. IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR DOORS OPENING AND RE-CLOSING ON CHILDREN EXITING OR ENTERING THE VEHICLE OR DOOR OPENING ON A CHILD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. **DATE AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. *TR

2010 A/C NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IN 2011, AGAIN A/C NOT PROPERLY WORKING. BOTH TIMES TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT JUST TAKES THE SYSTEM A LITTLE LONGER TO GET COLD. THEN IN 2011, 2 MORE TIMES THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MODULE FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT AND WIRING WAS MELTED. TOOK IT TO AUTO TECH SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED FOR THE REPAIRS. AUTO TECH SAID THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE POSSIBILITY AND A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR UPDATED 08/11/12 *BF UPDATED 09/18/2012 *JS

MY WIFE AND I RECENTLY TOOK A 5,000 MILE ROAD TRIP. THE FIRST 4,000 MILES WE HAD NO PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, WHEN WE WERE ABOUT 900 MILES FROM HOME, WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. WE GOT READY TO LEAVE THE HOTEL ONE MORNING AND THE ESC "OFF" LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. YOU COULD FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL, BUT ONLY GOT 1,000 RPM'S. THE ENGINE WOULD RUN, BUT IT HAD NO POWER. I TURNED IT OFF TO GO CHECK IT OUT, AND WHEN I CAME BACK THE ESC LIGHT WAS GONE, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THE FIRST DAY THIS HAPPENED, WE GOT TO 250 BEFORE IT WENT INTO COAST. AFTER THAT, WE COULD ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 70+ MILES BEFORE IT WOULD START COASTING AGAIN AND WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. IT WOULD RUN ANOTHER 70+ MILES AND WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THE TMS LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL. AT ONE POINT, I CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER AND HE STATED THAT IT WOULD BE OK TO DRIVE IT HOME IN THIS CONDITION. THE MAIN PROBLEM WAS IN BIG CITIES (FINDING A PLACE TO PULL OVER WITH THE TRAFFIC) ALSO, THERE WAS A LOT OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION WITH ONE LANE TRAFFIC AND NOWHERE TO PULL OFF. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE STRESS WE WERE UNDER. THE REASON FOR THIS LETTER, IS MAINLY TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. BUT, WE WERE DEFINITELY LUCKY AND WERE ALWAYS ABLE TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC GOING 75 MPH. UPDATED 10/20/11 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND WOULD SLIDE OPEN WHENEVER SHE WAS MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED HER THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR LATCH. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT UNEXPECTEDLY COLLAPSED IN A BACKWARDS MOTION AS A RESULT OF A FRACTURED FRAME BRACKET. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO A SAFE LOCATION AND THE CONTACT RE-ATTACHED THE FRAME WITH A ROPE AS A TEMPORARY REPAIR. THE SAME DAY OF THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT WELDED THE FRAME BRACKET FOR A PERMANENT REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 45 MPH, THE HOOD OF OUR VAN FLEW UP WITHOUT WARNING AND COMPLETELY COVERED THE WINDSHIELD. I SIGNALED AND SLOWLY MOVED RIGHT AND EVENTUALLY TO THE GRASS VERGE OF THE ROAD. THE HOOD WAS DENTED AND FLAT AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD. I GOT ON TOP OF THE ENGINE TO PULL THE HOOD BACK DOWN BUT IT WOULD NOT GO PAST THE STOPS ON THE HINGES. I THEN LOOSENED THE HINGE BOLTS TO THE HOOD AND WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE HOOD AND STRAP IT DOWN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER INFORMED HIM THAT THE ESC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V356000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING). THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING A RECURRING SLIDING DOOR FAILURE WHERE THE DOOR WOULD OPEN AFTER BEING CLOSED. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED THE CONTACT WOULD HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 76,800.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS,WITH MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE, DAY ONE THE BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED,THEN AT 39,000 PLUS MILES, THE POWER DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE QUIT WORKING,IT WAS BAD ABOUT RE-OPENING AFTER BEING SHUT. THEN WHEN IT WAS RETURNED ANOTHER PROBLEM WAS CREATED ,THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE LOCKED THE DOORS THE DOOR LOCK NOTIFICATION HORN WAS VERY FAINT.THEY REORDERED A NEW HORN ,NO CHANGE. THE EX-SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD SOUND. MY WIFE AND I AND CHILDREN,FAMILY MEMBERS ALL SAID IT SOUNDED STRANGE. WE DIDN'T MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF A HORN SOUND.THEN THE BATTERY AGAIN WENT BAD, HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT 76,000 PLUS MILES BOTH POWER DOORS QUIT WORKING, I ASKED FOR A QUOTE,AND TO KEEP ALL REPLACED PARTS. THE QUOTE WAS GIVEN,THE PARTS WEREN'T GIVEN TO ME. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE TO BE SENT BACK AS A WARRENTY. TWO POWER DOOR MOTORS AND A MODULE,ALL WENT BAD AT ONE TIME. WHEN THESE DOORS QUIT WORKING,NO CHILD CAN OPEN THEM FROM THE INSIDE. THREE -FOUR DAYS LATER AFTER THIS REPAIR A LIGHT COMES ON SAYING ESC OFF AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON GOOGLE AND IT SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ADJUSTABLE BRAKE PETAL AND SWITCH. THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI OF USA BOTH DENY THAT IT WAS A RECALL. I AM AFRAID THIS VAN IS DANGEROUS AT THIS TIME. *TR

THE RIGHT FRONT SIGNAL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS REPLACED AND A FEW WEEKS LATER, IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. WE ARE GETTING IT REPLACED AGAIN TOMORROW. *TR

MY VAN WRENCHED INTO A POWER POLE BREAKING THE POLE GOING OVER A LARGE CURB AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON AND DEALER SERVICE STATED THAT IT WAS FROM LOW VOLTAGE. *TR REPLACED BATTERY AT THAT TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE BEFORE ROLLING OVER. IN ADDITION, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES ON THE KNEES. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION AND HAD TO RECEIVED STITCHES. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND FILED A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND GETTING OFF AN EXIT RAMP, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, PULLED TO THE LEFT AND BECAME OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE INJURED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND SOMEONE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING MECHANISM; WHEN THE CONTACT WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP, HE WAS TOLD THAT THE TIE ROD, BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARM WERE ALSO REPLACED. OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BUT WERE ON BACKORDERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

BOTH OF OUR HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE SLIDING DOORS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. AT FIRST THEY WOULDN'T CLOSE ALL OF THE WAY OR LOCK WHEN USING THE ELECTRIC DOOR FEATURE. THEN, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN CLOSING THE DOORS MANUALLY. THEN, THE ELECTRIC FEATURE TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND THE DOORS STILL DIDN'T FULLY CLOSE OR LOCK WHEN CLOSED MANUALLY. WE HAD IT FIXED AND WERE TOLD THAT THE MOTORS ON THE DOORS HAD BURNED OUT. THIS IS SURPRISING THAT THESE DOORS DON'T LAST LONGER GIVEN THAT IT IS A HIGHLIGHTED FEATURE OF THE MINIVAN; THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE USE. I AM SUSPECT OF THIS CHARACTERIZATION OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE LEFT REAR SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MECHANISM AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. UPDATED 06/27/11

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE NEW IN JULY '07. WITHIN 2 MONTHS WE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS ON BOTH SIDES. SOMETIMES THE DOORS DO NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY, OR CLOSE AND REOPEN. SOMETIMES THE DOORS WON'T OPEN WITH ANY METHOD, KEYFOB, BUTTONS, OR MANUAL. THE DOORS SOMETIMES MAKE A SOUND LIKE THERE IS GRIT IN THE TRACK. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVEN SHOWED THEM VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING. SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE IT THERE HAS BEEN NO WORK DONE TO FIX IT. WE ALSO HAVE INTERMITTENT BATTERY DRAIN. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DEAD 5 TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR WILL OFTEN NOT ADJUST UNLESS IT IS MOVED TO THE BOTTOM OUTSIDE CORNER FIRST AND THEN IT CAN BE ADJUSTED. THE MEMORY FOR THE SEATS/MIRRORS ARE OFTEN LOST. TO ME THESE ALL INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONICS IN THIS VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING TO FIX. WE ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED A SHIMMY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. REPLACED THE TIRES AND HAD THEM ROAD BALANCED TO REMOVE THE WORST OF THE SHIMMY. INDEPENDENT GARAGE DID THIS AND SAID THE TIRES AND THE RIMS ARE FINE. IT'S BEEN CLOSE TO 3 YEARS AND WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING ALL OF THESE ISSUES. *TR
