The contact owns a 2010 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 vehicle was taken to stivers Hyundai (101 newland rd, columbia, SC 29229, (803) 788-6800) where it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. 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 while driving approximately 55 mph merging onto interstate when the lights began to flicker, the windshield wipers ceased, and the headlamps suddenly shut-off. The contact stated that the headlamps illuminated and work as designed. The contact went to a local gas station however, while attempting to drive the vehicle the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer and the contact was informed that there was oil leaking onto the alternator causing the battery to not be charged correctly. The approximate failure mileage was 154,925. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Safety recall 121 occurred several years ago - but it is related to more recent Hyundai recall #197. This is a problem with an oil leak on alternator, both of which have occurred on my Hyundai Veracruz. I had to have the issues corrected and parts replaced at considerable expense. So I filed a claim for reimbursement with Hyundai back in January, 2021 -- case #17645814. This claim has been delayed excessively and my follow-up attempts to contact Hyundai have been ignored!.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer to be diagnosed.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 192,000.

The oil leak that has previously been reported caused the engine to run low on oil. Since there is a drip pan under the engine a consumer would have no way of knowing that their engine was severely leaking. If there is no oil in your parking spot and no sign of the car smoking a normal person would not check the oil with every tank of gas. This oil leak caused my alternator to fail in traffic, and since the engine ran low on oil I had a catastrophic engine failure ( threw a rod) at 126k. The oil leak causes long-term damage to the engine that Hyundai refuses to acknowledge.

I recently was driving my 2010 Hyundai vera cruz on the interstate when the engine suddenly died on me. I noticed that there was a mixture of oil and water coming from beneath the car. Upon further inspection I was informed the motor was locked. I had just replaced the alternator in may of this year due to oil leaking on it. I can't recall if the original owner had the car serviced for the recall or not. But I did call in about it and was informed that it was not on the list and if I need to have it checked at the local Hyundai dealer then I would have to pay the service charge. Well to me that wasn't fair, but now the fairness is gone because now I'll have to pay out 6200 to have the engine replaced. This issue could have been avoided.
