2011 Hyundai Veracruz Complaint Log

This is related to a repeat failure of recalls 121/197 of the 2011 Hyundai Veracruz. Oil leaks down from the top valve gasket onto the alternator causing a random and erratic electrical disturbance and failure that can happen at any time causing serious risk of safety. With the alternator being damaged in this form also put other potential electrical systems at risk of damage. This is either the 3rd or 4th time of repeat failure. Previous time has damaged the battery. Luckily this time it went out in a parking lot just before was going to drive and had complete loss of power. Vehicle had to be towed into dealer service center. Upon inspection the alternator and valve cover gasket had to be replaced out of pocket as service center claims these are not covered. Tried to escalate the issue to Hyundai Motor Corporation to be reimbursed and was given a case manager. After a couple days I was told the original 121 recall is to old and not covered under warranty anymore and repairs were already made. I explained that recall 197 is a continuation of the previous 121 and she had to check back with the service center. A couple days later she reports back that they still will not cover the costs as the repairs have already been done before in the past. This time when received vehicle back from service center turns out the steering wheel tilt and telescoping module no longer functions. Costs of Alternator $1832.99 Costs of Valve Cover Gasket $313.31 Totaling $2146.30 that is suppose to be covered due to the recalls. Not repaired because of hassle between service center and Hyundai Motorcorp refusal to reimburse anything is the Steering Wheel Tilt/Telescoping module quoted at $1096.06 Included photo is taken of the alternator prior to being towed and clearly shows the over time build up of dripping oil all over it.

My system has not failed at this point. However, I am very concerned about the potential ABS brake potential fire hazard. I have always kept my vehicle in the garage. Now I have to expose it to weather conditions. I am parking outside away from structures as instructed in the recall. I constantly transport 2 grandchildren in car seats in my Hyundai Vera Cruz. It is very frightening to think my vehicle could possibly catch on fire while driving as well as ignite in my driveway. I just received my recall notice a few weeks ago even though the automakers were aware of it for months. I would like to file a complaint as well as push for an immediate remedy. The issue could potentially be life threatening! Thank you! [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Tired of engine and electrical failures. As recently as 7/11/2023, I brought my vehicle, 2011 Veracruz Limited FWD suv, to the Brandon (FL) Hyundai delaer for a supposed recall repair. I brought in the car, and picked it up the following day, and was assured that the recall (due to "leaky head gaskets") was taken care as well as the CHECK ENGINE (CE) light - the alternator was NOT replaced (as I had replaced it on 6/28/23 [$241.86 + tax]) with the excuse "it had passed all tests". A couple of days later, the CE light came back. I brought in the car again 7/24/23 and was told upon pick up THAT SAME DAY, that the engine "had a connector loose". Back on the road again, on 7/27/23 the CE light came up again. I decided to check the car myself and noticed: #1. NO (recall related) WORK had been done!!; #2. I decided to see what the CE light meant (P0420) so I removed the Bank 1 Catalytic converter and was astounded at the enormous amount to oil leaking and covering every nook and crany of the front engine - pictures included!! I purchased a new exhaust manifold gasket ($23.30 + tax) and throttle body spray cleaner ($38.43 + tax) to repair and take it back to the dealer for a thorough check up - keeping my fingers crossed. This has been the latest expenses in a litany of expenses (tools, parts, chemicals, related accesories), time off, trips to the dealer and what not in the history of this suv since I purchased back in 8/2010. Hyndai has refussed to pay a penny for all my expenses or repairs all the way to te point of charging for a recall repair NEVER DONE! BTW, I have had the alternator replaced, by myself and by the same dealer, four (4) times!!

ENGINE FAILED DUE TO OIL LEAKAGE

The car would not start so we had it towed to a local repair shop. (The closest Hyundai dealer is located 91 miles (182 round trip). The local shop diagnostics indicated an oil leak in the valve cover gasket which dripped onto the alternator and the drive belt. The obvious way to fix the problem was to replace the valve cover gasket, the alternator and the drive belt. The parts were obtained from an online parts distributor. The diagnostic work was done by the shop and the labor was performed by a well known Master Mechanic with over 25 years of experience and is recognized by the ASE. I filed several claims with Hyundai who keep coming up with reasons why they can't pay the claim for a total $600.00 out of pocket cost. The car was fixed 7/9/2021 and has run great since then with no leakage! I have filed claims several times and each time they request more documentation be furnished. The latest rejection is dated 5/16/2023 and Hyundai has assigned a Consumer Case #21314437.

At about 60mph in a passing lane going up a fairly steep hill, I pressed the accelerator to downshift while passing. The accelerator pedal pulled away from my foot toward the floor. The car began uncontrollably accelerating. I was able to override this with the brakes, but each time I took my foot off the brake the car again downshifted and accelerated maximally. This was repeated at least five times. Shifting into neutral resulted in a high revving engine on three occasions. Turning cruise control on and off or canceling had no effect. I was able to stay on the brakes and get off the highway. I then shifted into neutral and the engine started over revving. I then turned off the ignition and restarted the car, which to this point is behaving normally. The floor mat was not interfering with the accelerator. The accelerator distinctly pulled away from my foot and went to the floor. There was no pedal confusion.

2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO OIL LEAK ON ALTERNATOR. THE CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME DETERMINING A FIX FOR RECALL 121, CAMPAIGN 197. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN A REMEDY WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING A TOXIC ODOR FROM THE REAR AREA. VARIOUR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD.

We purchased the vehicle in 2016 from a dealer with a known recall because of an oil leak. That was fixed in the first month of purchase. Fast forward to summer of 2019, we have the same issue. We purchased a new alternator ourselves after finding the first one terribly messy with oil, replaced it, and continued on. The oil leak continued. Jump to Christmas 2020, it dies again. Replaced the battery and the alternator this time. Less than 2 weeks later we get a letter stating there is a recall and they're working on a fix. It is now May 2021 and no fix has been announced. With the amount of travel we've done over the last 2 years (less than 20k miles), you'd think it would hold a while longer. Think again. This week the alternator dies again and I have an appointment set for 3 weeks from today with a Hyundai dealership, and no recall in sight. I'm getting pretty frustrated with Hyundai as they know about the problem, tried to patch it up 5 years ago, and just now are finding that the fix didn't work for a handful of vehicles. We are out of a car and Hyundai isn't taking any responsibility for it. Luckily my family is handy and we can replace parts like this in just a few hours on a weekend, but a part that's supposed to last for years has been replaced 3 times in the last 2 years. Unacceptable.

RECALL 197: no fix yet? 2011 Veracruz AWD Limited May 19, 2021 Car quit operating. Shut down after little warning. Instrument panel lit up indicating some sort of problem, then no power. Unable to restart. Had Veracruz towed to the nearest repair shop East County Auto on hwy 12 ( Glenoma, WA) only 33 miles from breakdown. Feel like this car is Unsafe, AND hoping to get a fix so it can be safe. Hyundai says a fix is coming in a recent letter, but I have a PROBLEM with this car NOW. Will proceed with diagnostic efforts, repair if possible, and wait for Hyundai permanent fix or reimbursement. Feel that Hyundai is responsible for an immediate solution to this problem. LIVES ARE ON THE LINE!

This complaint is for NHTSA Recall Number 20V-705/Hyundai Recall Number 197. This recall notice has been out for almost 6 months now and there is still no remedy or any help from Hyundai corporate or local dealerships.

This recall has gone for far too long.

It has been over 8 months after I received 1st recall notice last 11/2020. Hyundai Motors America keep sending interim notices only, so I brought my SUV to Hyundai dealership at Dublin last 4/2020. The one of mechanic informed me that he couldn't provide recall services since there are no remedy yet. I think it should be enough time to get remedy but they just don't care about customer's safety at all. Thank you

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM HUUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA REGARDING A SAFETY RECALL WITH ENGINES LEAKING OIL FROM THE FRONT CYLINDER BANK'S VALVE COVER ONTO THE ALTERNATOR. AS A RESULT, IT DAMAGED THE ALTERNATOR RESULTING DISABLEMENT OF THE CHARGING SYSTEM. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND CNA INCREASE THE RISK OF CRASH. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE (3/18/21 CASE # 18073112) AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION. NOW, MY CAR IS COMPLETELY NOT DRIVABLE. I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP TO REPLACE THE GASKET AND ALTERNATOR. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT HYNDAI MOTOR SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST.
