general problems of the 2010 Hyundai Veracruz

On the dashboard and stereo there are no lights when I turn on the cars automatic lights. It seems to be an electrical short. I brought it up to Hyundai because of the recall and they were very unhelpful. I called 15 different Hyundai dealerships in the los angeles area asking for a loaner vehicle which none of them were able to provide for me. After I stated I already have an electrical short, they insisted that my car was not effected by the recall. And they would even write a letter to my insurance company stating that my car was not effected by the recall. They told me to continue driving my car like normal. I feel extremely unsafe and not taken care of by the Hyundai team. They continued to push off my concerns. The dealership has confirmed that the recall does effect my VIN number. However, they said there is no way to find out if the electrical short is from the recall or not. So they want to bill me $225 for a diagnosis. They have no inspected it because they will not do so without charging me the $225 which I refuse to pay for because of their recall. The electrical short problem has been an issue since I purchased the car. I asked the dealer I bought it from and he did not know what it was from. Months later I receive this letter in the mail stating there is an important safety recall on my car and Hyundai won’t do anything about it.

2010 Hyundai Veracruz. Consumer writes in regards to stop lamp switch recall notice. The consumer stated the nearest dealer was 50 miles away. The consumer requested to have a kia dealership, perform the recall, which was only 8 miles from his home. However, Hyundai stated kia was not authorized to make the repair.

I started up the vehicle and had no interior lights. For about 2 months, the lights would not come on upon starting up if the lights were left in the auto mode or initially turning the lights on. Then the lights started flickering during driving and now the lights go out while driving the entire dash.
