Electrical System Problems of Hyundai Entourage - part 1

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. . Read more...

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.

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.

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 suppised 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.

Passenger electric sliding doors do not latch properly. Latching the door make take several attempts. Shaft humming while on gear on active gas pedal. The noise disappears when the gas pedal is not used while in gear.

Driver side power sliding door opened while driving and will not close manually or using the power button.

The door handle just fell off of the door on the left side of the car. The automatic sliding door has given us many problems, we have taken it to get it fixed and it still does not slide properly. When my husband tried to open the door the handle just fell off. Now what do we do.

Turn signal intermittent/total failure, symtops 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.

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.

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.

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 ?.

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.

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.

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.

I have been experinecing serveral 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.

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.

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.

Rear lift-gate door latch assembly failure.

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.

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.

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 swithces. 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 of either. I plan to submit a separate complaint regading 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.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Entourage. While driving at various speeds, the rear passenger side door independently unlatched and opened independently without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired; however, the failure recurred while leaving the dealer. The manufacturer sent an engineer who decided to replace the entire door. In addition, while driving, all the interior and exterior lighting failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 6,000.

I have a 2008 Hyundai Entourage. The rear driver side door does not open or close properly with the power controls.

We purchased '07 Hyundai Entourage in 2009. We had several minor problems that year, which we overlooked as result of normal maintenance. However, we now think otherwise as the electrical system seems to be faulty! issues: replaced battery three times within 1 year. Remote entry stopped working for sliding doors, they lock/unlock but do not open/close. Sliding door on driver's side doesn't work via switch inside the door or ceiling console. At times our doors slide open while driving! from beginning, a large quantity of watery like substance leaking from engine area. Mechanic tightened a gasket during an oil change which temporarily lightened the problem. . . But it continues to this day. Every mechanic has mentioned this leak but cannot determine origin. Engine light came on 2 years ago, we were told to replace electronic throttle control ($1500!). However, light turns off for extended periods of time (loose wire? poor battery? faulty computer?), so we're hesitant to order that part. . . Feel like the computer is faulty. Couple of week's ago the air bag light came on and will not turn off, even though we have not been in a collision. Driver's turn signal burns out within three weeks of replacement, it's been this way since day one. A few days ago the driver's side door wasn't responding to the keyless remote. . . It remained locked even as all other doors unlocked. . . Curious to see if this becomes a recurring problem. Additionally, the latch on the driver's side sliding door broke off several months ago, followed by the passenger sliding door latch one month ago, with regular use. Not happy with this vehicle! we got a lemon, we believe the electrical system/computer is faulty, and we feel it should be the manufacturer's responsibility to repair. . . This is the first step that we're taking towards a complaint. Any feedback/assistance welcomed.

The power sliding rear doors began to intermittently fail to properly close and latch during the first year of ownership. After numerous attempted fixes by the dealer (one under recall) the problem has still remained and even gotten worse. Now these doors almost always fail to properly latched closed and have slid open on several occasions when the vehicle was moving.
