I'M A CONCERNED OWNER OF THIS RECALL ISSUED #20V70500 FOR MY 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT SINCE BEFORE NOVEMBER OF 2020 ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURES TSB REPORT. SINCE THEN THERE AS BEEN NO REMEDY TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THEN 6 MONTHS NOW. AS AN AVERAGE FULL TIME STUDENT AND FULL TIME WORKER I TEND TO TRAVEL ALLOT AND FAR TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B. WITH THIS SAID I NEED NHTSA TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIND THE REMEDY QUICK SO THAT I MAY KEEP MY VEHICLE IN A RELIABLE STATE BUT ALSO IN A SAFE TO DRIVE CONDUCTION. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR LOSS MY LIFE OVER A MINOR OIL LEAK FROM THE VALVE COVERS THAT LEAKED ALL OVER THE ALTERNATOR NOR CAN I AFFORD A NEW CAR. PLEASE HAVE THE MANUFACTURER SPEED UP THE PROCESS ON FINDING A REMEDY AS MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MASSEY HYUNDAI (1706 MASSEY BLVD, HAGERSTOWN, MD 21740) WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR VALVE GASKETS WERE LEAKING.

MY CAR ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 RESULTING IN EXTREME POWER LOSS, VERY HARD STEERING, UNSAFE VEHICLE CONTROL WHICH FINALLY ENDED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHICH DIAGNOSED AN UNDETECTED OIL LEAK FROM THE VALVE COVER DRIPPED INTO ALTERNATOR CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. VALVE GASKET WAS CHANGED AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR SOME OF 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ CARS BUT NOT MINE BASED ON HYUNDAI COMPANY I CHECKED. MY CAR ISSUE IS THE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND MY CAR SHOULD BE IN THE RECALL LIST. THIS CANNOT BE DETECTED BY DEALER VISUAL INSPECTION PRIOR TO FAILURE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR AT ACCORDING TO THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND THE DEALER RECOMMENDATIONS. THIS SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURTS IN AN ACCIDENT.

REOCCURING OF EXISTING FIXED RECALL FROM HYUNDAI REFERENCE NUMBER 121. THE EXACT ISSUE THAT HYUNDAI FIXED UNDER RECALL IS REOCCURRING IN REGARDS TO OIL LEAKING AND SEEPING FROM THE FRONT CYLINDER VALVE COVER/GASKET REGION CAUSING ALTERNATOR AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT LOST ALL ELECTRICAL DUE TO THE FAILED ALTERNATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI OF ORANGE PARK (7600 BLANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244, (855) 778-2061) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE ALTERNATOR AND THE GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE MATCHED AN UNKNOWN RECALL, WHICH WAS REPAIRED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER, AND PROMISED A CASE MANAGER WOULD CALL HIM BACK. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED BY 400 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,030.

NEITHER FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT A 45 MPH FRONTAL AND SIDE COLLISION.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES OR MORE FOR THE REPAIR OF AN ENGINE OIL LEAK THAT SATURATES THE ALTERNATOR RESULTING IN ITS FAILURE. THEY HAVE RESEALED THE ENGINE OIL PAN THE FIRST TIME. SECOND, THIRD, FORTH, AND FIFTH TIME THEY REPLACED THE FRONT ENGINE VALVE COVER GASKET. THE LAST TIME THEY FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE AS OUTLINED BY HYUNDAI THAT WAS MANDATED BY NTSB AS A RECALL. HOWEVER THE OIL LEAK STILL REMAINS. UPON OUR LAST VISIT IN NOVEMBER 2018 THE HYUNDAI SERVICE SHOP DETERMINED THAT THE OIL LEAK IS FROM THE FRONT ENGINE COVER (TIMING COVER). THEY SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE TO MAKE THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. CORPORATE ADVISED THAT THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE UNDER THE VEHICLES WARRANTY PERIOD. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. PLUS BECAUSE IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE VALVE COVER AND THAT REPAIR HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED, THEY HAVE MEAT THEIR OBLIGATIONS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT PART OF THE MANDATED NTSB REPAIR DOES INVOLVE A PORTION OF THE ENGINE COVER, BUT APPARENTLY APPLYING A LAYER OF SEALANT ACROSS THE SEAM OF THE COVER DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEREFORE THIS IS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD AND WE ARE LOOKING AT REPLACING A 3RD ALTERNATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN WHEN THE DRIVER MADE A LEFT TURN. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED THE CONTACT TO FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR WOULD NOT REMAIN CLOSED ON ITS OWN AND HE HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S WEST PALM BEACH HYUNDAI (2301 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33409) AND THE DOOR WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES TO ALL THE DOORS EXCEPT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *TT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO CRANK. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN OIL LEAK UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THAT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TEAM HYUNDAI (22514 THREE NOTCH RD, LEXINGTON PARK, MD 20653, 1-(301) 433-7574) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO DETERMINE IF THE FAILURE COULD BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED PER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE FROM THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND QUICKLY I LOST POWER AND MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACE AND CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. 2 WEEKS LATER, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I INSPECTED THE ALTERNATOR AND COULD SEE OIL VISIBLE ON THE ALTERNATOR. I DID SOME QUICK RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A VALVE GASKET LEAK ONTO THE ALTERNATOR ON MY 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ, THAT HAD BEEN FIXED IN 2014. NOW HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. HYUNDAI OF CHANTILLY, VA CONFIRMED, BUT WILL NOT COVER CHARGES TO REPAIR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD TWINS WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN.

RECALL RELATING TO OIL LEAK FROM THE FRONT CYLINDER BANK VALVE COVER GASKET COMPLETED. REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED BY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF HYUNDAI INCLUDING REPLACEMENT OF THE ALTERNATOR. FRONT CYLINDER STILL IS LEAKING AND NEW ALTERNATOR IS NOW CONTAMINATED. THE ALTERNATOR BEING CONTAMINATED WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO BECOME INOPERATIVE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. CLAIM PRESENTED TO HYUNDAI AND CAR DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE REPAIRS. CLAIM DENIED. DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. FINAL DENIAL ISSUED TODAY 07/09/2018

NHTSA CAMPAIGN #14V415000 WAS ISSUES FOR RECALL OF FAULTY VALVE COVER GASKET THAT CAN LEAK AND SHORT OUT ALTERNATOR, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. OUR VERACRUZ HAS NOW HAD THIS VALVE COVER REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED, TWICE NOW IN THE LAST YEAR. THIS TIME, 4/2018, THE ALTERNATOR WAS SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED LOSS OF POWER WHILE VEHICLE WAS IS MOTION ON CITY STREET. HYUNDAI HAS REPAIRED FAULTY PARTS AGAIN, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE YET TO HAVE A VALID FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS HAVE ONLY BEEN A BANDAID, AS SAME PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL RECALL ISSUED TILL HYUNDAI COMES UP WITH VALID FIX FOR THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

WANTED TO PURCHASE 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ FROM BARNES CROSSING DEALERSHIP IN STARKVILLE/NEW ALBANY, MS. TOOK IT IN FOR CAR INSPECTION AS I SUSPECTED THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON RECALL LIST FOR OIL LEAKING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR FROM GASKET, AS IN RECALL #121. INDEED, THAT PROBLEM WAS FOUND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO RECALL AFFECTING ITS VIN. ANOTHER RECALL NEEDED FOR ALL HYUNDAI VERACRUZ VEHICLES!

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, DASH WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, ENGINE SHUTDOWN, COULD NOT PUT CAR IN PARK AND BATTERY DEAD. RECALL 121 COMPLETED ON 01/31/2015 AT 33,586 MILEAGE AND VALVE GASKET LEAKED OIL ON 10/29/2017 AT 42,775 MILEAGE RUINING ALTERNATOR. THIS IS LESS THAN 36 MONTHS AND ONLY 9,189 ON ORIGINAL RECALL 121 CAMPAIGN REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE ELEVEN MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,742.

WHILE DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON, WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED, THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENED ONCE PRIOR TO THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS NOW OCCURRING AGAIN; HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY RESEARCH FINDS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME HYUNDAI MODELS AND HYUNDAI IS NOT OFFERING TO RESOLVE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

WHILE I STARTED TO CROSS A BUSY HWY MY VERACRUZ DID NOT RESPOND AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH. ALL MY DASHBORD LIGHTS CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 5 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ON PARK EVEN AFTER TRYING THE OVERIDE SWITHCH. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND IT SHUT OFF. ONCE THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND A NEW BATTERY (BATTERY WAS A YEAR OLD BUT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR MALFUCTION KILLED THE BATTERY). ALL THIS COST ABOUT600.00. THE MECHANIC SAID THE NOTICE ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY IS THE BATTERY LIGHT SHOULD'VE COME ON WICH THAT NEVER HAPPEND. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE ALTERNATOR JUST TO GO OFF LIKE THAT IN A BUSY HWY IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IALSO ASKED IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL ABOUT OIL LEAKING IN TO ALTERNATOR AND THEY SAID NO. I GET MY CAR BACK AND NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A FAULTY CONTACT IN THE SIGNAL LIGHT STLAK WICH SOUNDS VERY SCARY ABOUT TO EXPLODE/CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE.

THIS VEHICLE I PURCHASED IS HAVING A LEAK FROM THE GASKET ROCKER VALVE COVER AND IT HAS LEAKED INTO THE ALTERNATOR. I'M AFRAID MY VEHICLE WILL STOP RUNNING PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

THE OIL PAN OR OIL PAN GASKET LEAKS SLOWLY UNDER THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MOST VERACRUZ THAT THEY SHOULD FIX FOR FREE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE & I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX THIS RECALL ISSUE TOO.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT GOING ON. I PARKED IT FOR THE NIGHT AND BEGAN TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, I NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT GOING ON AGAIN. THE RADIO BEGAN TO TURN OFF AND ON, AND MANY DIFFERENT LIGHTS ON THE DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. I DECIDED TO RETURN HOME TO PREVENT GETTING STRANDED. AS I TURNED AROUND, I NOTICED THAT I BEGAN TO LOSE POWER IN THE VEHICLE ALTHOUGH I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I MADE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. I TRIED TO START IT LATER AND THE BATTERY WAS NOW DEAD EVEN THOUGHT THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES IN REGARDS TO THIS AND HAVING AN OIL LEAK. THIS REMINDED ME THAT WHEN I HAD AN OIL CHANGE RECENTLY, I WAS TOLD OF AN OIL LEAK HITTING THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED MY VIN ONLY TO FIND NO RECALLS FOR IT ALTHOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS OF RECALL 121 FOR HYUNDAI. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, BECAUSE I WAS LOSING POWER AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS TRYING TO GET HOME. SOME STREETS WERE SMALL RESIDENTIAL AND SOME WERE LARGER STREETS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING).

PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH SNAPPED IN TWO. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE BREAKAGE. SAFETY CONCERN ABOUT THE JAGGED EDGE OF THE BROKEN PLASTIC PIECE, AS WELL AS THE CONCERN OVER HAVING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON THE HILL OF OUR DRIVEWAY WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AS USUAL. THE GEAR SHIFT CLEARLY CAME OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION BASED ON THE FOLLOWING EVENTS: WHILE GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE LIKE USUAL TO GET MY KIDS OUT AND IN THE HOUSE, MY TRUCK ROLLED BACK WHILE I HAD MY FOUR YEAR OLD IN MY HAND AND MY TWO YEAR OLD STILL IN HIS CAR SEAT. I WAS 26 WEEKS PREGNANT, AND MY SON AND I BOTH GOT HURT IN THE PROCESS. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND HE THINKS THAT THE SHIFT LEVER MESH SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND STICKY SUBSTANCES FROM BEVERAGES DUE TO ITS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE VEHICLE CUP HOLDER. 'THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SHIFTER MESH WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE OPERATION OF THE SHIFT LEVER FROM OBSTRUCTION BECAME BUNCHED UP AND IMPEDED THE OPERATION OF THE SHIFT LEVER. WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER MESH BECAME STICKY AND BEGAN TO BUNCH UP AND STICK TO ITSELF CAUSING THE SHIFT LEVER TO NOT FULLY ENGAGE INTO THE INTENDED GEAR. THEREFORE IF THE SHIFT LEVER WAS NOT FULLY ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FULLY ENGAGED IN GEAR THUS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD OF POTENTIAL ROLLBACK' [XXX], 2015. THE VEHICLE ALREADY HAD ISSUES WITH THE SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY NOT FULLY ENGAGING THUS PREVENTING ME FROM FULLY PUTTING THE TRUCK IN PARK SO THAT I CAN TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF COMPLETELY. THIS ISSUE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES BY MYSELF, MY HUSBAND, MY MOTHER, MY BROTHER, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER, AND THE HYUNDAI SERVICE MAN. THIS ACCIDENT COULD

CAR SLOWED DOWN AND FINELY QUITE RUNNING. CAR WAS TOWED TO BLOOMINGTON HYUNDAI. REPAIR WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND RECALL WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY CHANGING ALTERNATOR,GASKET CHANGE DONE ON LEFT BANK,AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED. RECALL #121 WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT THAT TIME.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT 55 MPH MY 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ MADE A CLUNK SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND STARTING DROPPING SPEED TO AROUND 20MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS WELL. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATION IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR STILL STAYED STEADY AT 20 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I STARTED IT BACK AND PULLED OUT AND IT SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF? AFTER ANOTHER 4-5 MILES AT SAME SPEED IT DID THE SAME THING ONCE AGAIN BIT THIS TIME I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY HWY. I LIMPED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP ($225) WHERE THEY WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM?? THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES? TOOK CAR BACK HOME AND SURE ENOUGH, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK BACK TO HYUNDAI IN HICKORY, NC AND ONCE AGAIN THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE AND TRIED TO SAY IT COULD POSSIBLY BE BAD GAS? THEY DID OFFER TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT SO THEY COULD DRIVE IT. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT IT DID THE SAME THING WITH THEM ON A TEST RUN AND RECOMMENDED THAT I ALLOW THEM TO SERVICE THE THROTTLE BODY. I AGREED, CAR WAS READY THE NEXT DAY, DROVE HOME AND.....YES ONCE AGAIN THE SAME EXACT THING. I HAVE PAID OVER $700 COUNTING THE TOW AND STILL THE SAME ISSUES. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY????? NOW I AM USUALLY A VERY EASY GOING PERSON BUT THEY JUST TOO $484 FROM ME FOR A REPAIR THAT DID NOTHING. THEY DID OFFER TO TAKE

VEHICLE DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND ENGINE CHECK SIGN CAME ON, THEN CAR SIGN AS ANTITHEFT SIGN APPEARED THAN TPC SIGN AND NAVIGATION DIRECTION SIGN IN MIRROR ALL KEPT BLINKING ON AND OFF. VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BUT SPEEDOMETER STUCK TO 60 MPH. VEHICLE DROPPED SPEED GRADUALLY AND I WAS AFRAID THAT OTHER VEHICLES COMING BEHIND AT FULL SPEED MAY HIT MY VEHICLE IF THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF MY VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN. I HAD TO PULLED THE VEHICLE IN SHOULDER LANE AND STARTED MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS ON. BLINKERS WERE GOING ON AND OFF AND WARNING BELL WERE ALSO GOING ON AND OFF. DAMAGED THE BATTERY OF MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE IDLER PULLEY AND BELT WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: ENGINE); HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS THE PROXIMITY START KEY. ON PAGE 5-6 THE INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL CLEARLY STATES THAT THE KEY MUST BE IN THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION SWITCH MUST BE TURNED AND THE BREAK MUST BE DEPRESSED FOR THE CAR TO START. IT FURTHER STATES THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE SERVICED IMMEDIATELY IF ITS OPERATION DEVIATES FROM THE PRESCRIBED INSTRUCTIONS. THE CAR WILL START BY ONLY ADHERING TO THE FIRST TWO PARTS OF THE INSTRUCTION, WHICH IS TO HAVE THE KEY PRESENT IN THE CAR AND TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DANGER IS IT STARTS WITHOUT PRESSING AND HOLDING THE BRAKE. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR STARTING THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN A YELLOW WARNING BOX AND HYUNDAI STATES THAT TO IGNORE A WARNING CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

THIS REPORT IS BEING FILED OUT OF MY CONCERN FOR THE TRANSMISSION'S INTEGRITY AND PERFORMANCE; A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO EXIST TO DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. WHILE MOST TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS ARE NO DOUBT SPEED RELATED, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS SLOWING OR DOWNSHIFTING. IT CONSISTENTLY "CLUNKS" AS THE CAR READIES FOR STOP. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CLUNK WILL MANIFEST ITSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND FAIL ENTIRELY. AND THAT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

IN THE 2.5 YEARS I'VE OWNED MY 2011 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ, 4 DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE FIRST HAPPENED WITHIN A YEAR OF OWNING THE CAR AND WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE HANDLE BECAME EMBEDDED INTO THE DOOR AND COULD NOT BE PULLED. THE DOOR COULD ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE (OR BY ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND REACHING MY ARM OUTSIDE THROUGH WINDOW AND PULLING ON THE HANDLE FROM THE OUTSIDE). THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK IN THAT THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HANDLE AND SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES (PASSENGER DOOR, REAR DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE, AND AGAIN ON DRIVER'S SIDE). I HAVE NO CHILDREN AND AM USUALLY THE ONLY ONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SO IT DOESN'T RECEIVE MUCH WEAR AND TEAR. WHEN THE REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE, THE DOOR WAS UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING A CHILD IN THE CAR AND BEING UNABLE TO GET TO THEM? THIS TIME WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BROKE AGAIN, IT ALSO QUIT RESPONDING TO LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON PUSHES, MAKING THE SITUATION EVEN MORE UNSAFE. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THAT IT IS A POORLY DESIGNED PART AND THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN BUT THAT THERE IS NOT A NEW PART AND THAT, ONCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL OF THESE REPAIRS MYSELF. THEY ALSO HAD NO COMMENT ABOUT MY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE. HAVING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE CA

FOLLOWING EMAIL SENT TO HYUNDAI DEAR SIR: I HAVE A 2011 VERCRUZ WITH 27499 MILES THAT I HAVE LOVED UNTIL JANUARY 19, 2014. WHILE TRAVELING AT 50MPH, THE CAR SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER: NO POWER STRAINING, NO POWER BRAKES, NO ENGINE POWER. IT COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. BY RESEARCHING THE NET, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DESCRIBED MANY TIMES BEFORE. AN OIL GASKET LEAKS THAT DRIPS OIL ON THE ALTERNATOR PRODUCING LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND A DEAD ENGINE. MY DEALER, L------N HYUNDAI, DID THE REPAIR WORK, ONLY CHARGING ME FOR THE DEPLETED BATTERY. NOR WERE TOW CHARGES REIMBURSED. THEY CONCLUDED THAT OIL HAD LEAKED FROM THE GASKET, DESTROYING THE ALTERNATOR. I REGARD THIS HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE PROBLEM RECURS FOR ME, OR FOR OTHERS; SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE COULD RESULT. I REQUEST THAT YOU ISSUE A NATIONAL RECALL AND PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. *TR ------ ---------

ALREADY FILED ODI NUMBER 10447654; REQUEST STATUS OF INVESTIGATION. THERE HAVE OTHER REPORTED INCIDENTS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT FIRST DATE OF INCIDENCE, SO I PUT TODAYS DATE. SINCE PURCHASING MY 2011 VERACRUZ I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE TPMS LIGHT TURNING ON FREQUENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND EACH TIME, THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. AS WAS REPORTED TO ME BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR, THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT THE TPMS LIGHT GOES ON WHEN SOMETHING IS BEING CHARGED. AS SILLY AS THIS SOUNDS, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS PROBLEM, SO I ONLY CHARGE WHEN NECESSARY. HOWEVER, THE TPMS LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CHARGER. WHEN THIS LIGHT TURNS ON, I IMMEDIATELY BECOME ANXIOUS AND CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. ACCORDING TO THE DRIVERS MANUAL, I SHOULD BRING MY CAR TO SERVICE ASAP WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. AT THIS POINT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP DOING THIS AS I WORK FULL TIME AND HAVE CHILDREN TO GET TO SCHOOL, WORK AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. > > > > TODAY, DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY, THE TPMS WENT ON YET AGAIN. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND HAD NO TIME TO STOP AT THE DEALERSHIP. SO WE DROVE TO THE DOCTOR, ALL STRESSED AND HOPING THAT IT WAS ONCE AGAIN A FALSE ALARM, WHICH,AS IT TURNED OUT, IT WAS. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN AND WHY THIS LIGHT GOES ON. MY BIGGEST CONCERN NOW IS, I HAVE COME TO THE POINT THAT I ASSUME IT IS A FALSE ALARM EACH TIME AND HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN IT IS A LEGITIMATE

THIS VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM DESIGN/MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THE VALVE COVER GASKET IS DEFECTIVE. IT LEAKS OIL WHICH FOULS THE ALTERNATOR RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS INCLUDING TRANSMISSION FUNCTION AND STEERING CONTROL. ALL THIS OCCURRED DURING ORDINARY DRIVING RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISION AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER REQUIRING EMERGENCY TOWING SERVICES. MY SERVICE EMPLOYEE WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS MALFUNCTION PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS. HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AS SOON AS I DESCRIBED THESE EVENTS. I NOW HAVE FAR LESS CONFIDENCE IN THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE! *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW , THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENDLY . TOOK THE CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES AND HYUNDAI SAID THEY CANNOT FIX IT UNLESS THE LIGHT IS ON AT THE TO ME OF REPAIR , LOOKING AROUND THE WEB , JUST ABOUT ANYONE THAT OWNS THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE , THIS IS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND IF MY WIFE IS DRIVING SHE FREAKS OUT , ONE DAY THE WILL BE A PROBLEM FOR REAL AND IT'S JUST A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I WILL HOLD HYUNDAI RESPONSIBLE , WHY WAIT FOR THAT , PLEASE LOOK AROUND THE WEB AND YOU WILL SEE THAT MOST VERACRUZ OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HYUNDAI IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WHEN OPENING THE DOOR, THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE WAS CATCHING ON THE DOOR PANEL. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL I PULLED THE MECHANISM TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE BROKE. THE PLASTIC PART PHYSICALLY BROKE. I NOW HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW ELECTRONICALLY AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. EXITING IN AN EMERGENCY WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. *TR

NOTICED THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE NOT OPENING THE DOOR WITHOUT PULLING COMPLETELY OUT TO THE END OF IT'S TRAVEL. IT BROKE COMPLETELY AND HAVE TO LOWER THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH OUTSIDE HANDLE. DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE HANDLE UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAD TO ORDER PARTS. EXITING THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT! *TR
