2006 Hyundai Tucson GLS 2. 7l has leaking valve cover gasket causing oil to drip into the alternator causing failure of alternator.
I purchased the tuscon used approx. 2. 5 months prior to the first incident. After work I went to start my vehicle and it would not crank. I had to have a tow truck come "jump" my vehicle. I went to an auto parts store and was told the battery was bad. I replaced the battery. The next day, when I went to leave work, the vehicle again would not start. I had to have a "jump" a second time. I took the vehicle back to an auto parts store and was told the battery was fine, and the alternator was bad. I replaced the alternator. Two weeks after replacing the alternator, I again had to have the vehicle "jumped. " I went to an auto parts store and was told that the alternator, which was brand new, was bad. I contacted the Hyundai dealership and was told they have not heard of something causing the alternators to go bad like I was describing.
