general problems of the 2011 Hyundai Veracruz

This is related to a repeat failure of recalls 121/197 of the 2011 Hyundai Veracruz. Oil leaks down from the top valve gasket onto the alternator causing a random and erratic electrical disturbance and failure that can happen at any time causing serious risk of safety. With the alternator being damaged in this form also put other potential electrical systems at risk of damage. This is either the 3rd or 4th time of repeat failure. Previous time has damaged the battery. Luckily this time it went out in a parking lot just before was going to drive and had complete loss of power. Vehicle had to be towed into dealer service center. Upon inspection the alternator and valve cover gasket had to be replaced out of pocket as service center claims these are not covered. Tried to escalate the issue to Hyundai motor corporation to be reimbursed and was given a case manager. After a couple days I was told the original 121 recall is to old and not covered under warranty anymore and repairs were already made. I explained that recall 197 is a continuation of the previous 121 and she had to check back with the service center. A couple days later she reports back that they still will not cover the costs as the repairs have already been done before in the past. This time when received vehicle back from service center turns out the steering wheel tilt and telescoping module no longer functions. Costs of alternator $1832. 99 costs of valve cover gasket $313. 31 totaling $2146. 30 that is suppose to be covered due to the recalls. Not repaired because of hassle between service center and Hyundai motorcorp refusal to reimburse anything is the steering wheel tilt/telescoping module quoted at $1096. 06 included photo is taken of the alternator prior to being towed and clearly shows the over time build up of dripping oil all over it.

Tired of engine and electrical failures. As recently as 7/11/2023, I brought my vehicle, 2011 Veracruz limited fwd SUV, to the brandon (FL) Hyundai delaer for a supposed recall repair. I brought in the car, and picked it up the following day, and was assured that the recall (due to "leaky head gaskets") was taken care as well as the check engine (ce) light - the alternator was not replaced (as I had replaced it on 6/28/23 [$241. 86 + tax]) with the excuse "it had passed all tests". A couple of days later, the ce light came back. I brought in the car again 7/24/23 and was told upon pick up that same day, that the engine "had a connector loose". Back on the road again, on 7/27/23 the ce light came up again. I decided to check the car myself and noticed: #1. No (recall related) work had been done!!; #2. I decided to see what the ce light meant (p0420) so I removed the bank 1 catalytic converter and was astounded at the enormous amount to oil leaking and covering every nook and crany of the front engine - pictures included!! I purchased a new exhaust manifold gasket ($23. 30 + tax) and throttle body spray cleaner ($38. 43 + tax) to repair and take it back to the dealer for a thorough check up - keeping my fingers crossed. This has been the latest expenses in a litany of expenses (tools, parts, chemicals, related accesories), time off, trips to the dealer and what not in the history of this SUV since I purchased back in 8/2010. Hyndai has refussed to pay a penny for all my expenses or repairs all the way to te point of charging for a recall repair never done! btw, I have had the alternator replaced, by myself and by the same dealer, four (4) times!!.

The car would not start so we had it towed to a local repair shop. (the closest Hyundai dealer is located 91 miles (182 round trip). The local shop diagnostics indicated an oil leak in the valve cover gasket which dripped onto the alternator and the drive belt. The obvious way to fix the problem was to replace the valve cover gasket, the alternator and the drive belt. The parts were obtained from an online parts distributor. The diagnostic work was done by the shop and the labor was performed by a well known master mechanic with over 25 years of experience and is recognized by the ase. I filed several claims with Hyundai who keep coming up with reasons why they can't pay the claim for a total $600. 00 out of pocket cost. The car was fixed 7/9/2021 and has run great since then with no leakage! I have filed claims several times and each time they request more documentation be furnished. The latest rejection is dated 5/16/2023 and Hyundai has assigned a consumer case #21314437.

Recall 197. Oil leak from valve cover gasket. Hyundai has refused to repair this. I've broken down 2 times in the last year. I've spent over $2000 on repairs. Hyundai refuses to reimburse me or repair the vehicle. What can you do to help.

This complaint is for NHTSA recall number 20v-705/Hyundai recall number 197. This recall notice has been out for almost 6 months now and there is still no remedy or any help from Hyundai corporate or local dealerships. My car has been sitting un-useable for the past month because of this recall and no dealership will take my car. I have called Hyundai USA and there is nothing they can do for me. This recall has gone for far too long.

We purchased the vehicle in 2016 from a dealer with a known recall because of an oil leak. That was fixed in the first month of purchase. Fast forward to summer of 2019, we have the same issue. We purchased a new alternator ourselves after finding the first one terribly messy with oil, replaced it, and continued on. The oil leak continued. Jump to christmas 2020, it dies again. Replaced the battery and the alternator this time. Less than 2 weeks later we get a letter stating there is a recall and they're working on a fix. It is now may 2021 and no fix has been announced. With the amount of travel we've done over the last 2 years (less than 20k miles), you'd think it would hold a while longer. Think again. This week the alternator dies again and I have an appointment set for 3 weeks from today with a Hyundai dealership, and no recall in sight. I'm getting pretty frustrated with Hyundai as they know about the problem, tried to patch it up 5 years ago, and just now are finding that the fix didn't work for a handful of vehicles. We are out of a car and Hyundai isn't taking any responsibility for it. Luckily my family is handy and we can replace parts like this in just a few hours on a weekend, but a part that's supposed to last for years has been replaced 3 times in the last 2 years. Unacceptable.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 mph and making a left turn, the vehicle loss motive power without warning. The vehicle was towed an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the alternator had failed and needed to be replaced. The alternator was replaced and the failure was remedied. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact indicated that the vehicle had previously been serviced under the NHTSA campaign number: 20v705000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the failure occurred. The failure mileage was 64,000.

Hyundai announced the following recall in November 2020. To date they have done nothing to remedy the problem. My vehicle had this problem and failed while driving on the freeway in 2016. I repaired the problem back then at my expense but my vehicle should be assessed by Hyundai and cleared or additional repairs made. I am waiting over 6 months for a remedy on a recall that was originally announced in 2014 and reissued in 2020 because of Hyundai's failure to adequately address the problem.

Headlights flash/flicker and/or turn off for a few seconds when right turn indicator is activated while headlight switch is in the "on" position. At times headlights stay out until turn indicator is deactivated. Vehicle does not have to be moving. Rarely replicated on purpose for verification.

Since about 800 miles the tpms light has been coming on and stays lit for a while and then shuts off,. On a recent trip, the light came on and off more than 10 times. This is a safety issue since we do not know if the tire pressure is low or not. The dealer and Hyundai says they cannot repair it or do anything unless the light is on when we get to their shop. This has not happened.
