general problems of the 2010 Hyundai Veracruz

On 1/31/26 I replaced battery that was only a little over a year old. On 2/1/26 while driving myself and 2 of my kids to there grandparents we lost power and lights on dash started flickering. I was able to pull over the side barely. I was told by family after explaing what happend that it could be related to the recall. I called larry h miller Hyundai albuquerque and they verified the recall and we set up appointment for 2/5/26. I was able to tow vehicle to the dealership on 2/3/26. I received a call later that day from martin on why my vehicle was there I explained the issue of loss of power and lights and door locks flickering and I believed it to be related to the recall. I received a text/email with the dealership making recommedations. I refuse them as they were not urgent and not why my vehicle was there. I received a text message 2/4/26 that my vehicle was ready to be picked up and they had ordered the recall parts and was a week out but I was able to pick up. I called mutiple times for 2 weeks to find out more and was never called back. On 2/14/26 I drove to the dealer ship to find out what was going on. I was told they still were waiting for part and when I asked what part they ordered and why I never got a call back I was only told they ordered a "valve kit" which martin had to call the parts dept becuse my vehicle was not in there current service since they were waiting on parts. I asked what about the alternator and they said since I denied any repairs out side of the recall and the battery was an item I declined they did not test the alternator. I asked why they could not charge it as I expressed to them several times it was a new battery. They never answered me. But they told be they had to charge it to get it in to look at it. I said well doesn't that mean the alternator is bad and it needs to be replaced under the recall. After going back and fourth I ended up taking my vehicle and ended up agian on the side of the road with my daughter.

Hello, my husband and I bought a 2010 hyunday, Veracruz in 2018 before the arrival of our first son. It has been our first family car. Last year we began to receive important safety recall notices (three total). We didn't think anything of it since the vehicle was working just fine and we keep up to date with the maintenance of the vehicle. But then in the fall of 2020 our car troubles began relating to oil leaks. I called the Hyundai dealership for help and was turned away, saying "there was no current remedy".   our first bill came out to over $1,200 this past fall (2020). It was a significant amount of money but we were hopeful that the issues had been resolved at c & r tire shop. Less than 6 months later we were at our car shop again due to oil issues and having to make another significant payment of $1,560. 17 on 3/02/2021. At this point we felt very discouraged but once again were hopeful that the car would run well after that. However, we were wrong.   on Sunday, April 11th our family of three: my husband, two-year-old son, and I went to the airport to pick up a friend. While we were waiting for her arrival all of the lights in our dashboard lit up, the car died, and we were left stranded at the airport with no a/c and no way to get home. I ended up having to take an uber with my son home and my husband spent hours at the airport trying to find a toe truck on a hot Sunday evening.   after finding no remedy, we changed the alternator ourselves and problem is solved.

One or two years ago the plastic driver door inside door handle broke off. This week the plastic passenger front inside door handle broke. Not good. If there was a wreck and you needed to get out of the car and the door handle breaks you could be in a world of trouble! I don't think door handles should break!! I have the passenger broken door handle.

Front oil cover gasket leaking on to alternator. According to research on my VIN number it was fixed. After reading owner complaints of same model Veracruz it appears to be a reoccurring problem. Which means this problem has not been completely resolved. After trying to crank vehicle at some point earlier this years and was unsuccessful. After further examination oil was visable as well as the smell of oil on alternator. Car later crank with no problem. But oil leak is becoming a problem as it is obvious the leak is increasing.

My was husband was dropping me off at work driving back home which is less than 5minutes from my job on a street there was a loud pop and the driver on the side was yelling the car was on fire he pulled over took my sweater out of the vehicle and put the fire out.

As of today 3 out of 4 interior door handles on my 2010 Hyundai Veracruz have broken. The remaining door is intermittent due to a defective door lock. From an online search this is obviously a very common problem, spanning several years and models, obviously due to poor design or materials. It is also not one that I care to pay to repair and then have to pay again in the future. Inability to open a door from the inside of the vehicle creates a serious safety problem. In the event of an accident I will need to be able to hopefully unlock the door, open the window and reach the outside door handle to get out. Of course this assumes that power is not interrupted as a result of accident. Without electrical we would be trapped in the vehicle. Additionally, as a man of color, I don't cherish the thought of having to explain to a cop that I cannot exit the vehicle without first reaching outside. This is not the first problem I¿ve had with this car but this is one that Hyundai should definitely recall and repair.

Drivers left front inside door handle began to fail due to what appears to be a breakdown of its elements. Yesterday it complety broke off and I have to use the outside door handle to get out of car.

My car lost acceleration and esc light turned on while driving at about 40 mile/hr. The car was pulled over and restarted. The esc light turned off and the acceleration went back to normal. The car was driven to a Hyundai dealer located in corona, CA. No error codes were found, the problem could not be duplicated and nothing was done about the issue.
