Our esc light comes on occasionally, many times when making a left turn. Then the throttle quits and the car slows down. We had it in the shop 6 times with no repair.
While driving to work today on 1/21/2022 my vehicle was traveling at about 35 mile per hours when it suddenly began to slow and was unresponsive to my effort to maintain speed, and then several dashboard warning lights including the check engine light, charging system light, seatbelt light, and then the car began to have a loss of power and stalled. I did have my alternator and battery replaced in February of 2021 when this happened previously. Then I received a notice of NHTSA recall 20v705000 and had the remedy repaired completed in August 2022. I did attempt to have Hyundai USA reimburse me for my alternator repair and a previous repair I paid for related to the fault valve covers gaskets, but they refused my request for reimbursement. Now the problems and potential hazard remains. Thank you.
This vehicle has had multiple problems with the valve cover gasket since we purchased it. In 2015 we had the alternator and valve cover gasket replaced per the recall. The next year in 2016 we had to replace the alternator and valve cover gasket again, as the gasket was again leaking. In November of 2020 Hyundai admitted they were aware there was still problems with some gaskets, including with our car as we received a notice in the mail about a pending recall. In the last 7 months I have received 3 notices, but they all say that no repair has been implemented as of this time. This week we had to take our car in for the yearly required inspections in PA, and again our gasket is leaking. To pass inspection we had to replace it again, for the 3rd time. I called Hyundai and was told that I should have it done and submit my receipt for reimbursement because as of now there still is no fix. It is unimaginable to me that a company as big as Hyundai can be aware of a problem like this for more than 6 years and not come up with a permanent fix.
Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that while in the process of turning the vehicle around from a hill, while in reverse, once the gear was shifted, it was noticed by a passenger that smoke was coming out of the hood. The vehicle was shifted in to park, both the driver and passenger exited the vehicle as a fire started under the hood. The fire department extinguished the flames and provided a report number and a police report was provided with a report number. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 (engine and engine cooling), 18v934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline), 15v568000 (engine) however the vehicle exhibited the same failures as the recall campaigns. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer yet and was unable to be driven due to the vehicle being parked after it was towed to the college campus. The fire raged to the point that the dashboard melted, rubber hoses, winshield burned as well as it had fractured and the front seats melted due to the extent of the internal failure which resulted in a catastrophic fire. The manufacturer consumer affairs department requested information to investigate the cause of the fire and was to follow up with the owner to determine a response. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
