6 Service Brakes problem of the 2008 Hyundai Entourage

Failure Date: 04/17/2020

I was taking my family for shopping, and after my kids (5 kids) were seated in the car and making sure the seat belts was worn. I walked to the driver door to start the car and drive to the destination; a thick white smoke was coming out of underneath the engine hood even though the car's engine was still off! I was shocked and didn't know what to do first! should I safe my family and help the kids to run out of the car or check the cause of the fire! since I am an electrical engineering and have experience with cars, I knew the problem was an electrical problem and if I unplug the battery this should solve the problem faster! with a lot of smoke, I was able to unplug the cables of the battery. Then, I did help my kids to get out of the van� they were very scared and didn't know what to do and how to help! I checked on the car and I did find the smoke was less and after couple minutes stopped completely. Situation could be worse than that, the van was full of gas parked in middle of other 4 cars, 15 ft from our homes. I did see the anti-lock brake (abs) module was burned-out! I did order a used abs module from ebay (see attached file) and replaced the old one. Unfortunately, it did not work! many lights in the dashboard appeared (break, abs, engine) and lost some functions of the driving like cruise and smooth engine sound! after visiting many local repairers, I did call the local dealer and asked for new module and got quote on new abs module (part only costs about $2500). After about a month from the accident day, I received a recall letter from Hyundai company in USA with two recalls in which one of them said abs module may short circuit an electrical short within the abs module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury. Contacted the company but they did not solve my problems.

8 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Hyundai Entourage

Failure Date: 11/02/2018

When approaching cross traffic on a busy state highway from a business parking lot at low speed, my 2007 Hyundai Entourage experienced a sudden unintentional acceleration (sua) and was unable to be stopped on dry pavement. Even though the foot brake was depressed with as much force as possible, the vehicle was slowed but still uncontrollably moved into cross traffic without my opportunity to stop and prepare for clear and safe entry onto the highway. The oncoming driver from the left, although not able to stop while sounding his horn, swerved to the left ahead of my vehicle thereby avoiding a broad-side collision with my vehicle. Speed limit on this straight section of road was 45 mph and my car was still moving straight ahead at a 'walking pace' but still unstoppable. My car narrowly missed colliding with the vehicle that was passing in front of me to avoid the broad-side collision. After the car passed in front of my vehicle, I had maybe 12 feet until hitting the guard rail unless I turned sharply left which I did. Once heading left on the highway in the proper lane, the sua ended on it own. The entire event was over in just seconds. Fortunately there were no collisions and no injuries. Nevertheless, this sua represent a dangerous safety concern which was reported to Hyundai USA.

9 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Hyundai Entourage

Failure Date: 02/01/2017

I was driving the speed limit when all of sudden my hood flew up, smashed my windshield, thank god I was able to pull over and no one was hurt but, my hood was crunched and my windshield shattered, set up an appt. With Hyundai dealership as they told me the latch for hood had been recalled. On my way home stopped for gas, pulled in behind a man with his young child in a car seat when the van just started to accelerate, I couldn't stop, even holding both feet on the brake peddle, my husband reached over and turned the van off. We slammed into the back of the car with the baby in it, again, thank god no one was hurt but had these been different circumstances who knows what would have happened. Have no idea what caused the van to accelerate, and am really afraid of driving now.

10 Service Brakes problem of the 2008 Hyundai Entourage

Failure Date: 07/26/2015

Driving on the skyway heading into downtown chicago on a Sunday morning. Speed was approx. 70mph. I got into the left lane to pass, and as soon as I did, I noticed that the left lane was ending about 1/4 mile ahead. I gave the accelerator a little extra, and the vehicle took off. The speed climbed to 75,80 then 85mph. The accelerator was not stuck, it was not a floor mat issue, it was a mechanical failure. I was standing on the breaks, with both feet, and the breaks were not functional at all. Fortunately traffic was light, and on the highway, there was room to accelerate to this speed without crashing the vehicle. Fearing what could be ahead, I eventually put the vehicle into neutral,which red-lined the rpm's, but did not slow the vehicle. I put it back into drive, hoping to restart or reset the accelerator/brake system, but it did nothing, so I turned off the engine, put it into neutral and eventually coasted to a stop on the off ramp. The brakes were still not working, and I lost power steering, but coasted to a stop. I had my wife and 3 children in the vehicle with me, and we are lucky to have survived the incident. Hyndai corporation has been completely unprofessional in this matter. By putting the vehicle in neutral to control the speed, the engine seized (estimate 6k repair) Hyundai would not pay for these repairs. Their consumer affairs division in Hyundai, didn't return my call within 3 days as they had indicated. I had to call them back and file a safety report, and eventually when they did respond, after multiple calls, I sent them an estimate, and they told me they would pay for the diagnostics, but no repairs. The engine has to run on its own power for them to "accurately assess" what happened. Hyundai is not interested in finding a fix to this failure. As far as Hyundai is concerned, the incident never happened.

12 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Hyundai Entourage

Failure Date: 07/10/2009

I bought a used 2007 Hyundai Entourage in July 2009. When we test drove it, there was no highway to take it on and it seemed ok on local road. There was a slight shimmy but we were told it was just from it sitting on lot. After purchase, when we took it on the parkway, we noticed a strong vibration in steering wheel at highway speeds. Had front and back brakes and rotors replaced, and tires balanced as well - all non warranty repairs. The problem still exists and is occurring while going down steep hills as well. I am very nervous driving this car and will not take it on the highway not knowing what is wrong with it.

13 Service Brakes problem of the 2008 Hyundai Entourage

Failure Date: 05/30/2009

The sliding doors do not open and close properly. Sometimes they work and sometimes they do not. They may close half way and then go back to open position and stay there or go back to closed position. The driver side door closed on me once when I was strapping my grandson in, it had been open awhile. Luckily I had the key on the floor in front of me and used the key fob to open it. The door did not open automatically when it hit me, as I supposed it would. These doors were replaced a few months ago. The same thing happened with the hatch door, my husband closed it while I was reaching for something inside the van. I jumped out of the way but it hit me on the shoulder and did not stop. As I was slowing down at a stop sign the car did not slow fast enough and I had to push the pedal all the way down to get the car to stop completely. I had no warning that there was anything wrong with the brakes. No lights on the dash, no noises, nothing had happened before that. I took it in the next day and was told it was fixed and it was due to heat. I have lost all power in the car while driving. Luckily, I was not on the highway at the time and my grandchildren were not in the car. I coasted to a friends house and stopped in front of his house and asked what might be wrong with the van. He advised me to shut it off for awhile and let it reset, then turn it on again. After it happened a second time I took it in for repair. While driving I have had to endure lights flashing on and off in the car. The overhead reading lights in front and back, they take turns. Then the beeping starts too (the door open light goes on the dash). That also takes turns. Sometimes they all go on at the same time and go off and on or off, and take turns going on and off. Its maddening, and I have to drive through this.
