general problems of the 2009 Hyundai Veracruz

Mar11th tcm failed gears got stuck while driving use bypass switch to park car no longer starts code u0101 popped up and ecs light came on.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v705000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the charging system for the vehicle was not charging correctly. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Pulled into parking place and went to place Veracruz from drive to park and it jumped forward a little and gear shift was locked the esc light did come on showing "off". I would not allow me to shift into park and brake pedal was locked. I was only able to put into neutral and turn Veracruz off and apply emergency parking brake. Doors will open but will not turn engine over. Lights flash as if but will not start. There is no dashboard lights to indicate anything wrong, the esc light went away. I was pulling into parking spot and not driving down the road. My VIN is not in recall but should be looked into.

Driving on interstate 1-285 taking exit 7 to walmart when all dash board lights such as battery light, abs, cruise, starting flickering and suddenly car just shut off while in motion. While car shut off it was still rolling and car would not shift in park, brakes and steering wheel locked, and key would not release from ignition. If hadn't told cousin to jump out my family and I would have crashed in the back of a parked car at walmart.

While driving at 70 the car jerked, completely stopped accelerating. There was no response when pressing the gas pedal. Luckily we were near an exit, we were not rear ended by a truck and were able shift lanes and to roll off and put our hazard lights on. After checking the engine, a local service mechanic was able to determine there was an error code related to the throttle control. On restarting the car the engine lights reset and the car ran normally. Returning home we brought the car back to Hyundai. We were told there was nothing they could do as there were no error codes in memory even though there was a technical service bulletin regarding the throttle sensor. I was told that they would not do anything until an error was recorded in the memory of the computer because Hyundai USA would not cover anything under warranty. When I asked if it was likely to occur again, I was told it most likely would happen soon and too be careful. A month later it happened again traveling at about 65 mile per hour. This time there was no shoulder but I was able to partial pull of the road and put on my hazard lights as cars drove by and avoided hitting mine. This same situation occurred four (4) more times as I was able to get my car finally back home to the Hyundai dealer to service the car. The Hyundai dealer replaced both the throttle sensor and the pedal assembly. Having researched the problem with acceleration, I have learned that many others have experienced this similar and potentially dangerous problem. After speaking with other Hyundai service technicians I was told off the record that this was not an uncommon problem. As the throttle position sensor is less than $29 I am not sure why Hyundai did not address this problem when I first brought the car or as a recall as the consequences could be much more serious.
