general problems of the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz - part 2

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that while driving at 20 mph, his vehicle stalled as several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they discovered a leak in the valve cover gasket which spilled engine oil on alternator. The alternator was replaced and it was later discovered that his vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 (engine and engine cooling). The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where the recall was performed and he was reimbursed for the alternator. Despite the recall repair, the contact stated that the failure occurred an additional four times and numerous repairs were performed on the vehicle without fixing the vehicle. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

On at least a dozen occasions within the past few months alone, while driving I will suddenly hear a high-pitched "whirring" sound that sounds like it's revving up, then immediately afterwards all of my dash lights and the passenger air bag lights start to flicker and/or go off completely and then come back on again. Every single time this happens, as soon as I turn off my car (doesn't matter if I keep driving for a long while or stop driving shortly after it happens), it won't start again. It's completely dead and I have to have it jumped. My car has 94,000 miles on it, and in the past 8 years, the car has died/I've had to have it jumped over 30 times. I'm on my 5th battery! after the recall for the alternator gasket valve cap, I thought these problems would be fixed, but I've had exactly the same electrical issues/battery constantly dying since then! that recall literally did nothing. This is very unsafe, as the car can just suddenly lose power while driving, and then if you turn the car off, it won't start up again without being jumped. Hyundai needs to fix this ASAP. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of complaints about this, and it's just absolutely unacceptable!! I'll in the past 8 years, I have had to replace my battery 5 times in my Veracruz.

Engine valve cover gasket and alternator was replaced at the end of 2014 by a recall. Engine leaks again and dripping on top of the alternator. Hyundai refused to fix it as it is over a year after replacing the parts.

"abs failure" and "alternator recall 121" the break, abs, esc and chk engine lights all came on and stay on. From time to time the tpms light will also come on and speedometer will be at zero when driving along the highway. The car will from time to time completely shut down, even while driving along highway, which is a very dangerous situation. Upon further research and diagnostics by Hyundai it seems 2 items are the root cause of the problems, 1) faulty abs module that was been reported by 100¿s of people and 2) faulty alternator that affects the loss in power, again with 100¿s of complaints. There is a recall for alternator but not the abs module. This is a very expensive repair and with only 70000 miles, this should be replaced/fixed under Hyundai USA warranty.

The break, abs, esc and chk engine light all came on and literally everything shut down. There was no steering (extremely difficult), and worst of all no breaks. I could barely bring the car to a stop with both feet and had to divert my travel into a parking lot to avoid going through a red light. The problem stems from a faulty abs module and has been reported numerous times on various web sites. The repair is very costly and the consequences are so potentially deadly I can't understand why this has not been a recall item. . Please do the driving public a huge favor and investigate this problem. It's not as though Hyundai doesn't know about the problem.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that the valve cover gasket was leaking and was replaced several times, in addition to the manifold; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that he received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v705000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where he was informed that the valve cover gasket was leaking. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened; however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

I purchased my vehicle new and have had alternator problems for the life of my car resulting in several thousands of dollars worth of repairs to replace alternator and starter several times . For the last several years I have received recall letters from Hyundai addressing this exact problem. Unfortunately , they have not done anything to remedy the problem. They continue to state they are working on a recall remedy. This has continued for several years. Please help me fix my vehicle before something tragic occurs whilst the vehicle is on the highway with my family inside. Thank you.

We have a strong smell of antifreeze in our vehicle. It is constant, while driving or stationary, we can smell it inside the cabin of the vehicle or outside around the engine compartment while it is running. The level of antifreeze slowly declines. We also get a film on the front windshield. We have reported it to our local Hyundai dealership and they are unable to locate the problem. I am concerned breathing this in may cause health problems and we have a 3 year old granddaughter that is in the vehicle with us.

Leaking fluid on my driveway. No action on recall noted on Nov. 19, 2014 Hyundai repair invoice. Reference manufacturer recall # 197. It has been 7 years waiting for this problem to be remedied by Hyundai. This situation is ridiculous!.

Front cylinder.

Battery warning light came on, followed by every other warning light on the dash, one by one (abs, air bag, check-engine, etc. ) drove car to a safe place and turned it off--and then it would not start again. Had car towed to dealer who diagnosed a failed alternator--and this is the fourth time on this car which has less that 60k miles on it. My parents also own a Veracruz and are on their third alternator. This is a known problem with Hyundai yet they will not engineer a good solution and fix it once and for all. This is the fourth time we have been stuck at the side of the road and had to be towed. This is not acceptable. Someone needs to step in and require that Hyundai recall these cars and find a solution that works for more than a few thousand miles.

08 Hyundai Veracruz had a total loss of power-accelerator will not responded to commanded.
