2008 Hyundai Veracruz Complaint Log

ON MANY OCCASIONS, SPECIFICALLY ON 8/26/2010 (ODO: 16204), 7/29/2013 (ODO: 48833), AND 12/30/13 (ODO: 52877) THAT ARE A MATTER OF DOCUMENTATION, AMONG OTHERS, I ADVISED HYUNDAI THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING A BRAKE PROBLEM WHICH I VARIOUSLY DESCRIBED S "SQUEAK," "SHUDDER," AND "PLUNK." THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THESE DISTURBING SOUNDS UNTIL RECENTLY, SHORTLY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY. HYUNDAI HAS NOW FINALLY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS REPLACEMENT OF THE HECU FOR THE ABS. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER; HE SAID THAT CORROSION HAD BEEN NOTED IN THESE UNITS BEFORE. THIS CONVERSATION SUGGESTS THAT HYUNDAI HAD A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE CONCERNING THE HECU ISSUE. INSTEAD OF WAITING TO "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD HAVE INVESTIGATED AND INSPECTED THE HECU WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE PROBLEM WILL COST ME $2600. *DT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ESC OFF LIGHT ON, ABS LIGHT ON, AWD SYMBOL LIGHT ON, EVEN SAFETY BELT ON WHEN ON PARK GEAR BLINKS. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THREE TIMES. SAYS THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT WEEKS LATER SAME DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I'M GETTING SCREWED HERE. THIS IS ALL PAST THE WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). LITHIA RENO HYUNDAI IN RENO, NEVADA REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER THE RECALL IN 2014, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. RACINE HYUNDAI IN RACINE, WISCONSIN WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL, IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AGAIN FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

LEAKING FLUID ON MY DRIVEWAY. NO ACTION ON RECALL NOTED ON NOV. 19, 2014 HYUNDAI REPAIR INVOICE. REFERENCE MANUFACTURER RECALL # 197. IT HAS BEEN 7 YEARS WAITING FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE REMEDIED BY HYUNDAI. THIS SITUATION IS RIDICULOUS!

FRONT CYLINDER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIOING UNIT FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE STEREO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY AIRBAG AND ESC LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE SAYING THAT BOTH THE CONTROL MODULES (ABS, AIRBAG) NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PARTS ALONE COST AROUND $2600. *TR THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF 5 YEAR PERIOD (BOUGHT IN SEPT 2008) EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 60K. THERE WERE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THESE MODULES SHOULD NOT BE FAILING FOR 50K MILES. I HAVE HEARD MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD GET THE CONTROL MODULES REPLACED.

THE CAR JUST FAILED AND DID NOT HAVE POWER. LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN CAR STOPPED. IT IS RECALL 121 FROM HYUNDAI BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION. I TRIED TO FIX IT ONCE BEFORE BUT I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY MY OWN BILL AND THEY MIGHT REIMBURSE ME BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LONG TERM FIX FOR THE ISSUE. BUT MY CAR DIED BECAUSE OF IT AND THEY SAY THAT IS MY PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE 151K MILES ON THE CAR. I SPOKE TO MANY PEOPLE AT HYUNDAI AND NO ONE WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THAT IS CRAZY THAT THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT OWN UP TO FIXING IT FOR ME. *TR

THREE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IN VEHICLE. ESC, ABF, PARKING!BRAKE WERE THE LIGHTS THAT LIT UP ON DASHBOARD. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, IT CAME UP WITH INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY DID FILE MY COMPLAINT AND SAID THAT THEY TAKE NOTICE OF TRENDS AND DO RESEARCH WHEN ENOUGH PROBLEMS HAPPEN, HE ENCOURAGED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE AS WELL. HE ALSO SAID THAT SHOULD HYUNDAI RECALL THIS PROBLEM I COULD BE REIMBURSED THE 2400.00 THIS IS GOING TO COST TO GET IT FIXED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD, TOO YOUNG AND NOT ENOUGH MILES FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I DID SPEAK WITH A HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS IN THE VERACRUZ BUT HAVE SEEN IT MORE IN THE SONATA. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL WHEN TRYING TO PARK. WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE STICK TO PARK, THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF WITH 70 - 80 MILES AN HOUR. ONCE IT TOOK OFF LIKE PLANE, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THIS VEHICLE. I TRIED TO STOP IT BUT BRAKES DID NOT WORK, STEERING WAS LOCKED AND CAN NOT TURN OFF IGNITION EITHER. VEHICLE TRAVELED ABOUT 800 - 1000 FT BEFORE IT STOPPED. VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO STOP BY TREES. STEERING, BRAKES AND GAS NOTHING WORKED AS EXPECTED AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THIS ORDEAL IN CHILDREN PLAY AREA AND LUCKILY IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING AND NO ONE WAS IN PLAY AREA. IMAGINE IF THIS VEHICLE WAS ON INTERSTATE, MAJOR INTERSECTION OR US / STATE HWY. THIS VEHICLE IS ROAD HAZARD AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY HAVE OPENED UP CASE TO CHECK BUT WANT NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE SO WE HAVE NEUTRAL OUTCOME V/S JUST HYUNDAI. I WANTED TO BRING UP THIS MATTER TO YOUR ATTENTION SO PROPER INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED FOR THIS VEHICLE TO AVOID LOSS OF PROPERTY OR LIVES. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE DETAILS. *TR

ESC OFF, ABS & AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON FOR THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. AS FEW USERS OF COMPLAINED HERE THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE AS WELL. I WOULD REQUEST NHTSA LOOK INTO THIS AND HAVE HYUNDAI TAKE CARE OF THIS. HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/VERACRUZ-FORUM/151125-ESC-OFF-ABS-AWD-LIGHT.HTML. *TR

WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL COULD NOT PUSH BRAKES CAR KEPT GOING. THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM OUT OF PARK. I HAVE TO USE A SCREWDRIVER TO PRESS THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE IN ORDER TO DRIVE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON & THE AIRBAG LIGHT ALONG WITH THE ESC. THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE ANYMORE. *TR

RANDOMLY AFTER PULLING UP TO A STOP IN MY GARAGE, I CANNOT MOVE MY SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK. I CAN ONLY MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES IN NEUTRAL IT ALLOWED ME TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I COULD NOT BACK OUT OF MY GARAGE, NOR COULD I PUT IT INTO PARK, A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL FOR IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, BUT IT IS DOING IT NOW EVERY TIME I WANT TO PUT IT INTO PARK. THE ESC OFF LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON AND THE CAR IS STUCK IN DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,437.

ON ABOUT JUNE 23, 2014 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ AT ABOUT 65MPH. IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED. SHE PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF WHILE TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. SHE DECIDED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND SEE HOW IT DROVE. IT SEEMED FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT INTO THE REPAIR SHOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF BY ITSELF. I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS JUST A MISTAKE WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED, IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN BY ITSELF AGAIN. SHE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AGAIN. I HAD HER TURN IT ON A COUPLE MINUTES LATER AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS STAYED ON THIS TIME AND I TOOK IT RIGHT TO THE SHOP TO GET FIXED. I RAN A CODE READER AND EVERYTHING SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. WELL THE SHOP TELLS ME THAT IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY, JULY 14 AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD BE HERE ON THURSDAY, JULY 17. SO THURSDAY WE DROPPED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED FOR THE CALL THAT IT WAS DONE. DIDN'T HAPPEN!! WE FINALLY CALLED THEM AROUND 5:00 AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON THE PART AND IT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE DONE BY SATURDAY, JULY 19. SATURDAY MORNING THEY CALL AND SAY THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE PART IT AND THAT IS LOST SOMEWHERE!?!? NOW THEY'RE SAYING IT WILL DEFINITELY BE DONE BY TUESDAY, JULY 22. WE'LL SEE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE CONCERNS THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY/ THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR BUT HYUNDAI DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK SO. *TR

SECOND ROW, DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT JAMMED, UNABLE TO LOSEN IT TO THE POINT IT IS RUINING THE LEATHER SEAT. TOLD BY THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE RETRACTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THERE BEING A DEFECT. *TR

I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND IT CAME TO THE POINT AFTER REPLACING THE PADS AND ROTORS AND ALMOST CRASHING INTO THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. I THOUGHT IT MAY JUST NEED AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE COMPUTER BUT THE DIAGNOSIS WAS "INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT".. I AM SHOCKED BECAUSE THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE HYUNDAI GENESIS WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON. THE DEALER WANTS $2600 TO REPLACE IT AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING WITH A VERACRUZ. IF THE SAME COMPONENTS OR FLUID WAS USED IN THE VERACRUZ AS WAS USED IN THE GENESIS - IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME ISSUES BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS. I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I DON'T HAVE $2,600 TO DISH OUT TO GET IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE SOME ASSISTANCE IN FINDING OUT IF OTHER HYUNDAI VERACRUZ OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME. HOW DOES A RECALL GET ISSUED? *TR

THE ABS LIGHT, ESC LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ,ALL WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, MADE APPT WITH DEALER (03/25/2015) AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED LEFT & RIGHT SIDE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 WHICH WAS PURCHASED MAY 2009 AND HAS ONLY 26417 MILES ON IT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. BIN ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME AND THE REST OF THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERA CRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH MAKING A TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ABS, ESC AND ANOTHER BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FOR THE AIR BAG FAILED. THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V472000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

2008 VERACRUZ THAT FEELS LIKE MY BRAKE PEDAL IS GRINDING AND PULSATING AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 20 MPH. THE BRAKES GRIND RANDOMLY AND KICK BACK TOWARDS MY FOOT, AND I HAVE TO RE-BRAKE. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR IS INITIALLY TURNED OFF AND THE FIRST ONE OR TWO BREAKS. THEN, BEHAVES NORMALLY. IT WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW, SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY AND/OR THEN COULD GO WEEKS OR MONTHS WITH IT NOT OCCURRING. WE DID NEW REAR BREAKS. THE DEALER SAID THE ROTORS AND PADS ARE FIND AND TOLD ME IT COULD BE FROM WATER OR SOMETHING GETTING IN THERE RANDOMLY (IE. POLLEN). I TEND TO COMPLETELY DISAGREE AS SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE WATER WOULD NOT MAKE THIS SIGNIFICANT OF GRINDING/PULSATING SO CONTINUOUSLY BUT YET RANDOMLY. THIS BECOMES VERY SCARY CONTINUING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I AM WONDERING IF SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO SNAP AND THE BREAKS WILL NOT WORK OR WHAT IS HAPPENING. I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE VERACRUZ. *TR

VEHICLE LOST ELECTRICAL CONTROL INCLUDING ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR. PREVIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES CAUSED BRAKE FAILURES AND STARTING AND THROTTLE CONTROL ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING LESS THAN 40 MPH AND MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON, ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY. FIRST ESC OFF, ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS. THEN MOMENTARILY AFTERWARDS CHECK ENGINE AND TPMS LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK IT TO STEALERSHIP, SAID THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR KEPT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH FREQ OIL CHANGES AND PROPER TIRE MAINTENANCE. EST COST TO REPAIR $2,800. OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN THEIR SHOP. *TR

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE NOVEMBER 9, 2013. SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD BRAKES, PADS, ROTORS, ALL AROUND THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES. I EVEN CALL THE COMPANY. I EVEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. THAT IS THE FOURTH INCIDENT. I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN THE BRAKES ACT LIKE THEY DO NOT WANT TO STOP AND IT IS DANGEROUS. I AM NOT LIKING THIS AT ALL. I HAVE TO BRAKE ABOUT A THOUSAND FEET OR MORE FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I CANNOT DRIVE UP CLOSE BEHIND ANYONE AT TIMES. IT IS STARTING TO DO IT MORE AND MORE AN NOT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE MILEAGE, IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE. AT THE TIME IT HAD OVER 95,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS ONLY A GUESS ON MILEAGE. *TR

WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNAL TO SIGNAL LANE CHANGING, BUT DO NOT SNAP IT INTO POSITION, MY HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF AND WILL ALSO TURN OFF FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. ADDITIONALLY, I NOTICED DURING THE DAY TIME THAT MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS WERE BRIGHTENING. I'VE REPORTED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BRIGHTENING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE MY CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE FROM 2009 TO THE PRESENT, BUT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPEAT THE PROBLEM. MOST RECENTLY, LIKELY BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING ON AND OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT IT AS IT WAS HAPPENING AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND TOLD HIM THAT MY HEADLIGHTS JUST WENT OFF AND THEN THEY CAME BACK ON. I BROUGHT IT IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I FOUND THE SAME ISSUE REPORTED BY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON A HYUNDAI FORUM. SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK AND REPLACING IT FIXED THE ISSUE. I SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING PROBLEM, AS I GO FOR SECONDS AT A TIME WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AT RANDOM TIMES, BUT ALWAYS AFTER USING MY TURN SIGNAL. *TR

MY WIFE STARTED THE CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND KEY LIGHT CAME ON. SHE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND PUT THE KEY FOB IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK IS WHAT SHE GOT. WHEN I CAME HOME FROM WORK I STARTED THE CAR AFTER JUMPING IT OFF FROM MY TRUCK. THE CAR RAN BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I STARTED TO DRIVE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE BUT BEFORE I COULD GET VERY FAR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP WITH SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS. TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND DROVE HOME. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES AND LESS THAN 5 YRS OLD. (58,200 MILES AND 4 YEARS 8 MONTHS OLD) HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DUE TO SOME SIMPLE RESEARCH I WAS NOT A BIT SURPRISED WHEN INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD DUE TO A HEADCOVER GASKET LEAKING ENGINE OIL. DEALER FIXED ALL AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL COST ME AROUND $550.00 AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. THIS IS THE SECOND ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN 4 MONTHS. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY FOR SALE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ESC AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V113000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I WAS STOPPED IN A TRAFFIC PROBLEM CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT IN FRONT OF ME. OUR VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WE BECAME PART OF THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM. MY WIFE AND I HAD TO PUSH THIS 4600 POUND MONSTER OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I AM 81 AND MY WIFE IS 79 YEARS OLD. SHE INJURED HER BACK DURING THIS EVENT. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ALTERNATOR INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE.INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL, THAT MAKES FOUR ALTERNATORS IN 40,000 MILES. *TR

WHILE ON A VERY TIGHT HIGHWAY ON-RAMP AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE ACCELERATOR WAS FULLY DEPRESSED TO QUICKLY ENTER THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC (CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON).THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD RAPIDLY AFTER SHIFTING DOWN. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RACE FORWARD NEARLY HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AHEAD ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS RACING AHEAD LASTED 5-10 SECONDS AND WAS OUT OF CONTROL. BEING VERY FRIGHTENED, I BEGAN TO HIT THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. AFTER A TIME THE ACCELERATOR RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE BEHAVED NORMALLY. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT REMEMBER IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK IN THE FULLY DEPRESSED POSITION OR IF IT RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE STILL RACED FORWARD. IN ANY CASE THE VEHICLE RACED FORWARD LONG AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. EITHER THE ACCELERATOR MECHANISM STUCK DOWN OR THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM DID NOT RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO DRIVER INPUT. I SEE OTHER REPORT ON THE INTERNET OF THIS VEHICLE BEHAVIOR FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF PARK. THE ESC LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL OF CAR, BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THE VIN SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY STOP LAMP SWITCH. THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IS WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE SUMMARY SECTION OF YOUR WEBSITE. I'M NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 1500 RPM (25 MPG IN A SCHOOL ZONE, 2 MILES AFTER START UP MY CAR HESITATES, STUTTERS, AND THREATENS TO STALL.) (60 MILES AN HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC) WHEN IN TRAFFIC, THIS DISTRACTS ME FROM THE AREA AROUND ME WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO ME AND TO THOSE AROUND ME. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO PRESTON HYUNDAI ON MANY OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS AND THEY SAY, "NO TROUBLE FOUND." I HAVE SENT THEM AN EMAIL WITH PHOTOS OF THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AGAIN AND AGAIN AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A REPLY. I HAVE NOW MADE4 VIDEO OF THESE INCIDENTS. *TR

BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY EVERY OTHER WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH, ONE BY ONE (ABS, AIR BAG, CHECK-ENGINE, ETC.) DROVE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE AND TURNED IT OFF--AND THEN IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A FAILED ALTERNATOR--AND THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME ON THIS CAR WHICH HAS LESS THAT 60K MILES ON IT. MY PARENTS ALSO OWN A VERACRUZ AND ARE ON THEIR THIRD ALTERNATOR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI YET THEY WILL NOT ENGINEER A GOOD SOLUTION AND FIX IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME WE HAVE BEEN STUCK AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND REQUIRE THAT HYUNDAI RECALL THESE CARS AND FIND A SOLUTION THAT WORKS FOR MORE THAN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. *TR

WHILE EXITING THE RAMP OFF OF I-95 NORTH IN ASHLAND, VIRGINIA AT ABOUT 50 MPH, SUDDENLY A COUPLE OF DASH LIGHTS LIT UP, THERE WAS A LOUD SQUEAL, AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST RAN OFF THE RAMP BEFORE BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO GET IT CHECKED, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A VALVE COVER GASKET OIL LEAK (THAT I HAD FIXED MONTHS EARLIER, ALONG WITH REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR IT SHORTED OUT), HAD LEAKED ONTO BOTH THE ALTERNATOR (SHORTING IT OUT AGAIN), AS WELL AS ONTO THE SERPENTINE BELT CAUSING THE BELT TO SLIP IN WET WEATHER (THE ROAD WAS WET FROM RAIN AND WATER SPLASHED UP ONTO THE OILY BELT), WHICH CAUSED THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT WAS A VERY SCARY, DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE NOW GONE THROUGH 3 ALTERNATORS AND TWO VALVE COVER GASKET REPLACEMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE FALL OF 2011. THIS MODEL HAS A SERIOUS, DANGEROUS DEFECT AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG IS SLOWLY EXPANDING CAUSING DAMAGE TO INTERIOR OF VEHICLE. PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOW NONFUNCTIONAL AND HYUNDAI DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECT OF IT. I'VE BEEN SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER RELATIONS REGARDING PROBLEM AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (APPROX. SPEEDS OF 65 MPH), WHILE RAINING, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STUTTER, SPEEDOMETER JUMPED AROUND, AND THE ESC OFF, ABS AND AWD WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED AND THEN STAYED ON. ONCE THE LIGHTS STAYED ON (NO LONGER FLASHING) IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE DROVE "NORMAL." AFTER A DAY OF DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS ON THEY WOULD TURN OFF AND PROBLEM WOULDN'T COME ON AGAIN UNTIL THEIR WAS SOME SORT OF MOISTURE/PRECIPITATION HAPPENING; AND THEN ONCE DRY WOULD TURN OFF AGAIN. HAD DEALER CHECK VEHICLE (AT THE TIME OF CHECK NO LIGHTS/SYMPTOMS OCCURRING) AND THEY SAID IT REQUIRED A NEW HECU UNIT AND A NEW WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (APPROX. COST $3,200). THEY COULD NEITHER EXPLAIN WHY IT ONLY HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS WET AND DID NOT WANT TO TROUBLESHOOT BEYOND THE BASIC CODE CHECK. HYUNDAI WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO HELP - IT WAS ONLY 1,000 OVER WARRANTY BY THE TIME WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY DEALER (WHICH ALSO TOOK 2 WEEKS TO SET UP APPOINTMENT WITH HYUNDAI TECH). DEALER CLEARED CODES AND PUT DIELECTRIC GREASE ON THE CONNECTIONS. HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR 7 MONTHS, AND THEN PROBLEM REAPPEARED. ONLY NOW THE PROBLEM IS A SEVERE SAFETY RISK TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THERE IS NO TELLING (CAN OCCUR AT ANY SPEED AND DOESN'T MATTER HOW LONG CAR HAS BEEN ON OR HOW FAR DRIVEN) WHEN THE SYSTEMS MENTIONED WILL FAIL, AND WHEN THE LIGHTS START FLASHING I HAVE NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL ALL THE LIGHTS TURN STEADY AND STAY ON. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHEN PULLING OUT/ACROSS TRAFFIC IT COULD TURN FATAL. A QUICK CHECK ON THE INTERNET AND ONE WILL FIND A HOST OF COMPLAINTS RELATING TO THIS SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED! *TR

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT THE STOP LAMP SWITCH IS MALFUNCTIONING ON THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ MODEL DATED 2008-2009. THERE IS RISK OF A CRASH. I TRIED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER IN FREEHOLD, NJ AND THEY INDICATED BECAUSE MY BRAKES ARE THE ADJUSTABLE KIND THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK TO REPAIR THIS RECALL AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE GETTING THEM IN. ITS ON BACK ORDER. IN THE MEANTIME, IF THERE IS A CRASH CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM THERE WILL BE MAJOR LAWSUITS AGAINST THE HYUNDAI COMPANY FOR NOT HAVING THE ITEMS IN STOCK TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. I SUGGEST THIS MATTER GETS LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY AND GETS RESOLVED. THERE SHOULD BE NO EXCUSE THAT PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER.

AT RANDOM TIMES, I CANNOT MOVE MY SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND IT SEEMS TO CORRESPOND WITH THE ESC LIGHT TURNING ON WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. I CAN ONLY MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR IGNITION PARTIALLY ON AND CANNOT LOCK THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN! I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ESC CONTROL EVEN AFTER THE RECALL BULLETIN. THE DEALER JUST DID A FIX RELATING TO THE OIL LEAK ISSUE AND TOLD HIM IT WAS ALSO DOING THE SHIFT ISSUE. PICKED VEHICLE UP 9/25/14 AS EVERYTHING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RESOLVED BUT ONLY TO HAVE THE SHIFTER AND ESC ISSUE AGAIN ON 9/27 AND 9/29/14. CALLED DEALER AND AM BRINGING IN VEHICLE AGAIN TODAY 9/29/14. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW AND HIGH BEAMS STOP OPERATING INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A SHORT IN THE HEADLIGHTS UPON USING THE TURN SIGNALS. THE FAILURE WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ON APRIL 15, 2009, HYUNDAI NOTIFIED NHTSA OF IT'S INTENT TO CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA RECALL 09V122). MY VEHICLE IS ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL, HOWEVER THE HYUNDAI DEALER TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT HYUNDAI FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS RECALL AFFECTS MORE VEHICLES THAN THEY ARE AWARE OF, OR ARE WILLING TO ADMIT TO. THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED COMPONENT FAILURE IS EXACTLY THE SAME, YET THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT UNDER THE TERMS OF THE RECALL. THUS THEY CHARGED ME FOR REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP, HE CONFIRMED THAT HYUNDAI NEVER REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A NEW OR UPDATED PART, THEY ARE CONTINUING TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL PART NUMBER AS THE NEW REPLACEMENT PART, KNOWING THAT THE PART THEY ARE INSTALLING IS THE SAME DEFECTIVE ONE THAT CAUSED THE RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE SPEED SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THIS CAR LOSES POWER AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL IT VIA POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND SOMETIMES COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHEN OPERATING UNDER RAINY CONDITIONS AND WET ROADWAYS. IT HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BUT FOR A SPLIT SECOND CODES APPEAR AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE IS A MOMENT OF PANIC AND THEN THE CAR COMES BACK TO LIFE AND EVERYTHING IS OPERATIONAL. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THEY FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V122000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:SWITCHES:BRAKE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

WHILE DRIVING INTO THE GARAGE, THE REAR POWER LIFTGATE OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY STRIKING THE GARAGE DOOR FRAME AND CAUSING THE REAR LIFTGATE GLASS TO SHATTER. THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN "DRIVE" AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. *TR

ALTERNATOR FAILURE DUE TO LEAK ON VALVE COVER. A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW ON THE SEAL FOR THE VALVE COVER ALLOWS OIL TO LEAK ON TO ALTERNATOR CAUSING FAILURE AND RENDERING THE ENGINE INOPERABLE. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH AND DEATH DUE TO ENGINE STALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 VERACRUZ (48K MILES) AND RECENTLY EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE (HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A 2 WEEK PERIOD). THE CAR COULD STILL BE STEERED BUT WITH A LOT OF DIFFICULTY. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF CAR WAS STALLED BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. FOR BOTH INSTANCES, ONCE I PULLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT INTO PARK, THEN PUT BACK INTO DRIVE, THE STEERING AND CAR WORKED FINE. I TOOK IT TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NOTHING NEGATIVE CAME UP ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER INDICATING A PROBLEM AND MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE BELT SLIPPING WHEN WET. THEY SAID THAT BELT WAS NOT WORN AND WAS AT CORRECT TIGHTNESS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THROUGH A PUDDLE SINCE, SO NO REPEATED EXPERIENCED YET. I NOTICE OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS. *TR

BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ON, SEAT BELT LIGHT FLASHING. HAD TO TURN OFF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (AC, FAN, RADIO, LIGHTS, ...) AND RUSHED TO THE DEALERSHIP. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW WITH OIL DRIPPING ON THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE. I BELIEVE SUCH A FAILURE, WHICH WOULD'VE DISABLED THE CAR, IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD UNDER NOT-SO-UNCOMMON CONDITIONS, SUCH AS AT NIGHT, IN A REMOTE AREA OR UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE REPLACED ALTERNATOR SINCE THE ROOT CAUSE IS NOT ADDRESSED, WHEN IN MOST OTHER CARS, THE ALTERNATOR WOULD STILL BE THE ORIGINAL. *TR

JULY 2012 - GASKET LEAKED AND KILLED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALER FIXED THE ALTERNATOR AND GASKET BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR BATTERY. JULY 2013 - ALTERNATOR DIED WHILE DRIVING AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PAY FOR ALTERNATOR CHANGE $550 AS I WAS ABOVE 60,000 MILES. *TR
