My vehicle was under a recall. The engine lights started going off so I immediately turned around and headed back home. By the time I got home, my vehicle was close to stalling. It would not go beyond 3rd gear and would not go into reverse. I parked it on the street in front of my home and the vehicle stalled do to a failed alternator. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer honored only part of the recall. They replaced the valve gasket/t joint but they would not replace the alternator because "it was not oil soaked". The alternator was previously replaced under the first recall and it is clear that this second alternator failed and should have been replaced as part of this second recall. My issue is that Hyundai is not honoring the recall. I was forced to pay out of pocket $996. 94 to have my alternator replaced. I have contacted the Hyundai customer care center multiple times since November 2021 regarding this issue. I'm seeking that they honor the recall by reimbursing me but they have not followed up.

My vehicle (2012 Veracruz) is currently under recall campaign #197 for Hyundai. This incomplete recall has been in place since November 2020 with no solution provided yet as of July 2021. I have owned this vehicle for six years, and have already had to replace the alternator twice (2015 & 2019) due to the very same issue with the oil leak on the alternator. I 2019, my Veracruz died in the middle of the road when the alternator suddenly went out. I was the exact serious safety risk indicated in this current recall #197. I am now the mother of a newborn baby and two year old son. This is our primary family vehicle. We are unable to rely on it as a safe and dependable vehicle for our family because of the open and incomplete recall. The dealership has told me that I have to pay out of pocket for any diagnostic and repair at this point, even if tied to the recall. (I can apply later for reimbursement. ) I want Hyundai to give a time expected for a solution to this recall immediately or I want Hyundai/dealership to pay for any diagnostic and repair services that may be related to this recall #197 and alternator issue. This is unacceptable. I have contacted Hyundai customer care and been told that since my car is out of warranty, I must pay for any diagnostic and repair for alternator issues. Again, unacceptable when I am receiving monthly notices from Hyundai that there is a clear alternator problem and safety concern. When is the solution to this recall going to be provided? when will this company accept liability for this issue?.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v705000 (engine and engine cooling) and took the vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair. Upon return of the vehicle, the contact was unable to start the vehicle. The contact was informed that the vehicle had sat for a while and the battery was drained and needed to be recharged. After the recall repair, the vehicle operated as needed for one day and would fail to restart the following day. The contact had the battery replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was given a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 119,294.

The battery don't charge unless the air conditioner is on.

In 2018 I had to replace my alternator as it failed while at a stop light. My dash warning lights illuminated so I pulled over to the curb and turned the vehicle off. I was not able to start the car back up and had to have it towed home. I noticed that there is evidence of oil leaking again… it is over the alternator as well as other parts under the hood. I also notice oil in my driveway where I park my car. I am concerned that the alternator will fail again as Hyundai still have no remedy for the issue.

While driving at night with the headlights on, the headlights would go off completely for a moment (perhaps one to two seconds) when the turn signal is used. The headlights always came back on when the turn signal lever was returned to the normal center position. This has happened occasionally for a couple of months, but then it occurred frequently on a recent trip where I was driving at night for about six hours straight on an interstate highway.
