2007 Hyundai Entourage Electrical System Problems

The valve over eventually leaks oil that drips down on to the alternator. This cause the electrical system to fail, the battery and brake lights come on. Then slowly all lights come on as battery shuts down. This is a known issue with this engine. This happened to me yesterday while driving at night leaving the car unable to drive. When the battery completely shuts down you cannot even move the vehicle out of Park, as electric is needed to disengage the the shifter from park, so you cannot even push the vehicle off of the road. Hyundai has a recall for the exact same engine in the Veracruz. Here are two videos showing issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSLmj8Gqc1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Q78so3GPI https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/entourage/engine-oil-leaking-problems.php The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 (engine and engine cooling).

DEALERSHIP HAD ME MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND COME IN FOR THE 188 RECALL (ABS RELAY INSTALLATION), KEPT ME FOR 2 HOURS, TRIED TO SELL ME ABOUT $2,000 IN UNRELATED MAINTENANCE, THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE RELAY SERVICE. THEY THEREFORE WASTED MY TIME WHEN THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF PERFORMING THE RECALL WORK. THE RECALL WORK HAS NOT BEEN DONE, AND I'VE WASTED A WORK DAY. DEALER REP WAS ALSO INTIMIDATING WITH REGARD TO THE MAINTENANCE HE WAS RECOMMENDING.

2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ABS MODULES SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE A RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED THE DEALER CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE THE KEY IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE, THE LOCKS WOULD CLICK LOCKED AND UNLOCKED, THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHLIGHT TURN ON AND OFF, AND WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. A BURNING SCENT CAME FROM THE VEHICLE. *JS

IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR, WE RECEIVED AN 'IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL' FROM HYUNDAI, INSTRUCTING ME TO PARK MY CAR OUTSIDE AND AWAY FROM STRUCTURES AND OTHER VEHICLES UNTIL A REPAIR IS COMPLETED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO RUSSELL WESTBROOK HYUNDAI IN GARDEN GROVE ON JUNE 15TH OF THIS YEAR. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE READY LATER THAT DAY. THEN THE 16TH. THEN THE 17TH. THEN THE 18TH. THEN THE 19TH. THEN I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND DID I WANT TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE. I DECLINED. ON JUNE 22, I CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY. I CALLED AT THAT TIME AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE THE END OF JULY. I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WITHIN 3-5 DAYS. TWO MONTHS HAVE GONE BY WITH NO FURTHER WORD. I'M 77 YEARS OLD AND I'M UNEASY DRIVING THIS CAR.

MINIVAN WAS PARKED AT NIGHT IN OUR HOME GARAGE AND SPONTANEOUSLY WENT ON FIRE. ALL RECOMMENDED FACTORY MAINTENANCE WAS ALWAYS PERFORMED. NO RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE EXISTED. SIGNIFICANT RISK TO PROPERTY AND LOSS OF LIFE. PUSHED IT OUT OF GARAGE TO SAVE FAMILY AND HOME.

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO COMEBACK HYUNDAI TO REPAIR RECALLS 03/28/2018 THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 10/28/2008 FIRST OWNER AND I PURCHASED THE CAR 02/15/2018 I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR RECALLS 03/20/2018 HOWEVER THE DEALER GAVE ME A COMPLETE ON RECALL ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY NEVER DID THE WORK THEY INVOICED. I CALLED HYUNDAI HEAD QUARTERS BUT WAS TOLD ONLY THE FIRST BUYER IS COVERED. ASHLEY 09/19/2019 09:59AM 714-965-3828 I WAS TOLD IT WAS 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE NOT THE FIRST BUYER. ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15,2018 I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP BECAUSE THE LATCH THAT WAS TOLD THAT WAS FIXED WAS IN FACT NOT THEY THEN ADMITTED THERE ERROR THEN WAS TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT FIX MY CAR RIGHT THEN. I LOST TRUST IN THERE DEALERSHIP AND CALL THERE CORPORATE NUMBER 1-800-633-5151. HOW CAN I TRUST A MECHANICS WHO CLAIMS THEY FIXED SOMETHING WHEN IN FACT THEY DID NOT.

POWER DOORS WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE COMPLETELY

FRONT WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN.

VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING OIL ALL OVER THE ALTERNATOR. OTHER HYUNDAI'S WITH THIS ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT THE ENTOURAGE HAS NOT. THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL SINCE BY HYUNDAI'S ONE ADMISSION IN THE OTHER RECALL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS???

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, LIGHTS DIM, RADIO GOES OUT , HEAT OR AC GOES OFF, WHILE DRIVING. HAVE COMPLAINED OUT OVER A YEAR AGO. HAVE HAD NEW ALTERNATOR PUT ON AND NEW WASHER PUMP. TIPS REPLACED, STOP SWITCH? REPLACED.

VAN'S ELECTRICAL SUDDENLY CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC LOSING POWER - THANKFULLY A PARKING LOT ENTRANCE WAS NEARBY AND WAS ABLE TO BARELY STEER IT INTO THE PARKING LOT. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME. FOUND OUT IT WAS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKING OIL ONTO THE ALTERNATOR. SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH RECALLED HYUNDAI VERACRUZ - SAME ENGINE LAYOUT - BUT NO RECALL ON THE HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THE ALTERNATOR DIED AND THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WILL DO NOTHING SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN INDEPENDENTLY. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED TO THE ROAD SIDE TO CLOSE THE DOOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V356000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000. UPDATED 09/30/16*LJ UPDATED 06/18/18*JB

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE IN 2015 AND 2 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT BOTH DOORS MOTORS STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL ONLY OPEN ABOUT 10 TO 15 INCHES. WE'VE HAD TO USE THE HANDLES TO OPEN BOTH DOOR AND THE HANDLES BROKE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THEY BROKE BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MADE TO BE USED SINCE THE DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE USED WITH A REMOTE AND ARE MOTORIZED. WE'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE OUR HEAD LIGHTS AND BACK LIGHTS ABOUT 6 TO 8 TIMES THAT'S MORE THAN I'VE CHANGED ANY LHEAD LIGHTS ON ALL MY VEHICLES IN MY ENTIRE 44 YEARS OF OWNING CARS. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 6 RECALLS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN 2015. PLEASE JUST RECALL AND REPLACE THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO MAKE UP FOR HOW POORLY THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE AND THROWN TOGETHER. TY *TR

ARE DOORS FLY OPEN DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY. DOORS DON'T CLOSE OR LATCH HALF THE TIME AND ARE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR IS GOOD HAD THEM TESTED. U ASK FOR A DATE AND ONLY LET US PUT ONE DATE IN THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN WE'RE SCARED TO EVEN OPEN DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR. AND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES

I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE I SEE THAT HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR FAILURE BECAUSE OF FAULTY VALVE COVER GASKETS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD ALSO BE EXTENDED TO THE KIA SEDONA MINIVAN AND THE HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE THAT USE THE SAME CONFIGURATION OF ENGINE. I NOTICED ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE THAT THE FRONT VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING AND THAT IT IS LEAKING ON THE ALTERNATOR. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL PROVIDED MANY OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS HAPPENING ON THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI IS NOT WILLING TO RESEARCH THIS BECAUSE OF THE MANY MORE MINIVANS IT HAS SOLD. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT AND I BELIEVE IT DOES WARRANT LOOKING INTO. *TR

DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT CLOSE MANUALLY OR USING THE POWER BUTTON. *TR

TURN SIGNAL INTERMITTENT/TOTAL FAILURE, SYMPTOMS ARE TYPICALLY SEEN WHEN A BULB FAILS. REPLACEMENT BULBS DO NOT CORRECT ISSUE AS THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO A FAULTY BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE). VEHICLE DOESN'T USE A RELAY STYLE SIGNAL INDICATOR SYSTEM. NOTE: THAT THE REAR TURN SIGNAL BLINKS FAST DURING FAILURE. MULTIPLE FORUM POST STATE THAT IT CAN APPEAR ON EITHER SIDE. *TR

ON MY LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THE FRONT VALVE COVER GASKET WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AT THEN DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS. I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN THREE DAYS (AUGUST 8, 2014) TO HAVE THE FRONT VALVE COVER REPLACED. THE COST ESTIMATE IS $653.00. NHTSA RECENTLY SENT ME A NOTICE OF A RECALL ON THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ THAT HAS VIRTUALLY THE SAME ENGINE COMPARTMENT LAYOUT AS MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL ON THE VERACRUZ IS TO REPLACE LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET AND THE ALTERNATOR FOR FREE BECAUSE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. I THINK THAT HYUNDAI OF AMERICA SHOULD DO THE SAME FIX FOR MY VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I DO? I BELIEVE THAT ODI SHOULD VERIFY THIS COMPLAINT AND CONTACT HYUNDAI TO ISSUE THE SAME RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

AS I OPENED REAR LIFT GATE IT OPENED HALF WAY THEN STARTED TO CLOSE I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE HEAD WHEN IT STARTED COMING DOWN. ON 2/4/14 SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED LIFT GATE OPENS HALF WAY THEN CLOSES ON OWN. *TR
