2010 Hyundai Veracruz. Consumer writes regarding oil leak on alternator safety recall. The consumer requested to be reimbursed for the recall repair.

On 4/23/21, I went to start the vehicle (which is our only vehicle to transport our children), but it did not start as if the battery was dead. My husband tried to jump the vehicle, but it died as soon as jumper pack was taken off. Later that day, my baby became very ill and we had to go to urgent care. My husband only has a work van that does not have seats to transport passengers, so he put the car on a charger for a bit and the car started. While on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost power, but we were able to coast off the highway onto an exit. We jumped the car with a jumper pack and made it to the urgent care. On the way home, we were able to jump the car with the jumper pack to get it started, but the vehicle once again lost power on the highway. We then tried to stay off the highway, but the vehicle kept losing power and we had to jump it every time we had to stop, which left us blocking traffic multiple times. We were able to jump the car and get it into a parking lot, but the car would not start with a jump after that. We had to leave the vehicle in a parking lot from 4/23/21 until 4/25/21, when my husband was able to use his work van and a car trailer to tow the car to the Hyundai dealership. He looked at the car when he dropped it off and the alternator was covered in oil, which caused it to go out suddenly. There is a current Hyundai recall on the car over the issue, but there is no fix. The dealership said we have to pay for repairs out of pocket and hopefully get reimbursed later. This is a large unexpected expense when we are already dealing with employment issues related to covid-19. Thankfully, no one was injured over this major safety issue while losing power on the highway and city streets. Manufacturer recall number 197 NHTSA recall number 20v705000 per NHTSA. Gov website.

I'm a concerned owner of this recall issued #20v70500 for my 2011 Hyundai Veracruz. This recall has been out since before November of 2020 according to the manufactures TSB report. Since then there as been no remedy to fix this issue that has been going on for more then 6 months now. As an average full time student and full time worker I tend to travel allot and far to get from point a to point b. With this said I need NHTSA to have the manufacturer find the remedy quick so that I may keep my vehicle in a reliable state but also in a safe to drive conduction. I can't afford to have an accident or loss my life over a minor oil leak from the valve covers that leaked all over the alternator nor can I afford a new car. Please have the manufacturer speed up the process on finding a remedy as my life depends on it.

I have received three recall letters form Hyundai Veracruz regarding an interim recall in January 2021, March 2021 and may 2021. I had the vehicle in for mechanical repairs to the rear brake system in late February 2021 and was informed there was several leaks noted at the time. Within the next few weeks, I noted that when accelerating onto the highway that the battery light, security light and seatbelt light would flash for about 10 seconds but then go off. . I waited to hear on a repair solution from Hyundai but only received another interim letter in March. In the end of April, I had spoken to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle ,auto warehouse of brighton, and was told Hyundai would have to repair due to the recall. I have contacted three Hyundai service centers and have been told that they are unable to repair under the recall as there has not been a remedy for the recall. On Sunday, may 30, the vehicle was making an odd noise and I asked a mechanic friend to look at it. While inspecting, he stated the bearings in the alternator seized. The vehicle is now not functional, Hyundai customer care cannot provide a possible date for the recall to be remedied. This recall has been going on now since November 2020 and is unresolved. I am without a vehicle due to this and have not been provided any possible timeline when the issue may be resolved.

Recall 121 did not fix the issue and oil leak into alternator occurred and we were responsible to pay for 1/2 of the repair.

Vehicle has oil leaking onto alternator. Took to dealer to have fixed per recall 197. Dealer said problem did not exist and instead tried to charge me for multiple other repairs including damage they did to vehicle while performing inspection. If you put your hand on the back of the alternator, your hand comes out with oil on it.

I have replaced 4 alternators due to oil dripping down on it. I have had mechanics try and fix the oil leak but have not succeeded. Also whenever there is a heavy rain or whenever you go through a large puddle of water everything wants to shut down it is dangerous driving in the rain because sometimes you have to try and get out of traffic due to everything shutting down.

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!.

We have been waiting since November when recall number 197 came out. Our vehicle has been parked since the dealer would not repair the valve cover oil leaking onto the alternator without a notice from the manufacturer. They confirm the alternator is covered with oil from the leak. The battery drains and we had to put a disconnect switch on it to keep it charged. Still pay insurance for the vehicle to sit which we bought to transport our grandkids. Been using our daughters car since then which is too small for all of the grandkids. January 8th was the date the company gave us and it came and went with no remedy yet. This is leaning heavily on criminal. Someone let us know what we can do.

Recall 121 completed by southshore Hyundai on 1/15/19. On nov10, 2020, I was driving all my lights went on steering wheel got stiff and just shut down. I called geico had my car towed to my mechanic. He called me to tell me that the alternator was soaked with oil. He replaced the alternator and advised me to contact Hyundai because the oil was from gasket in which they replaced on 1/15/2019. I called Hyundai motor finance company and advised them of the problem. At that point I requested they reimburse me for the alternator in which they denied. They made an appointment for 11/19/2020 for me to bring the car to south Hyundai. I bought my car in. I didn't hear from them so I went to the dealer in which I approached the advisor isiah. He told me at that point the gasket wasn't the issue. They contacted corporate and told them that too. I received a call from corporate denying my claim from my mechanic. I then said to isiah have my car ready I am taking it out of your lot. He said wait in lobby, give me a few. He came to me within 5 min to tell me that there was recall showing for my car recall 197. He said leave the car and I will keep you posted. We texted back and for the finally after south shore Hyundai having mycar in there lot for 2 mos, no loaner they decided to have my car ready on 1/13/2021. Documents states tech removed and replaced valve cover gasket and alternator in good will. I started noticing oil spots on my driveway. I took my car to my mechanic today 3/19/2021 for an oil change. He stated that yes I do have a leak. He questioned what did Hyundai replaced and I told him. . He said absolutely not, the alternator on your car is the one I put in on 11/10/2021. No valve cover gasket was replaced all Hyundai did was put silicone. I have all documents, pictures, receipts and text for my proof of this problem. I fear my safety in car.

For the 2nd time after per Hyundai a previously recalled issue was repaired, my alternator failed while driving on a interstate highway. The previous recall is number: 14v415000. When the vehicle stalled leaving me stranded and upon inspection under the hood, the alternator which was replace only 3 years ago when this last happened and per Hyundai again 2 years before that for the recall, was completely covered in oil as if the recall was never done even though they say it was. (3 alternators covered in oil for a vehicle that is only 10 years old). This issue came out of no where and again left me stranded. It the recall was actually completed I believe the gasket/seal that was replaced is faulty.

The valve cover gasket is leaking oil on to the alternator. The alternator is covered in oil, possibly causing it to short out which could lead to a loss of power while driving. This is a dangerous condition.

At about 61,253 miles, engine gaskets were found leaking and valve cover gaskets & valve cover set was replaced. Alternator tested bad and was replaced. Battery tested bad and was replaced. Oil leaked from valve cover/engine and dripped on alternator causing the alternator and battery to become defective. Car was pulled into service station as engine started puttering and power was dropping. A claim was made to Hyundai (case 17561397) who denied the claim saying that it was not covered, citing campaign 121 (guest because it was similar) and saying that it covered the cylinder cover gasket did not include the valve cover gasket leaking and causing the exact subsequent damage. Attached are repair documents.

I was making a right hand turn onto a 2 lane divided highway. As I was turning I lost steering power and my brake light indicator came on. I was eventually able to regain steering after crossing both lanes of on coming traffic. The alternator belt was replaced. The very next day the exact same thing occurred except there was a loud squeal that happened following the loss of steering and the battery light coming on. This is a significant safety concern to lose steering while driving the vehicle. I had also experienced the abs sensor, emergency brake sensor, and esc sensor coming on. Replacing the abs sensor on both sides corrected that issue.

Manufactured from December 26, 2006, through July 24, 2012. The affected vehicles may experience an oil leak from the front cylinder bank valve cover gasket. If there is a sufficient amount of oil dropped onto the alternator, the alternator will be damaged causing the charging system to become inoperative. My vehicle was in motion and shutoff while driving on the road.

September 15, 2018 we had broke down on the interstate. Lost all control of car, no steering, no acceleration, no parking gear. Mechanical said there was an oil leak above the alternator. Fried the alternator. Yesterday, wife was driving, broke down on highway. I looked at the engine block and there is oil leaking from the valve pan gasket down into the alternator again. Hyundai says my model of 2008 Veracruz wasnt affected by the standing recall that is active right now. But I think my car has been affected by this problem with faulty valve pan gaskets. Vehicle lost power while in motion, all dummy lights came on. Engine shut off and would not allow is to get it in park. Mechanics checked the battery. Battery tested perfect. Said it had low voltage and wasnt being charged by the system.

My car alternator shorted out while I am driving on interstate 95 resulting in extreme power loss, very hard steering, unsafe vehicle control which finally ended in complete loss of power. Car towed to dealer which diagnosed an undetected oil leak from the valve cover dripped into alternator causing it to short out. Valve gasket was changed and alternator replaced. There was a recall for this issue for some of 2011 Hyundai Veracruz cars but not mine based on Hyundai company I checked. My car issue is the exactly the same problem and my car should be in the recall list. This cannot be detected by dealer visual inspection prior to failure. This is very unsafe. I have all maintenance done at the dealership I purchased the car at according to the maintenance schedule and the dealer recommendations. This should require a recall before someone gets hurts in an accident.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Veracruz. While driving 45 mph, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but there was no acceleration. The vehicle had to be pushed to the side of the road. The contact noticed oil all over the alternator. The vehicle was towed to Hyundai of orange park (7600 blanding blvd, jacksonville, FL 32244, (855) 778-2061) where it was confirmed that there was oil all over the alternator and the gasket needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure matched an unknown recall, which was repaired by the previous owner. The manufacturer was contacted, provided a case number, and promised a case manager would call him back. The extended warranty had just expired by 400 miles. The failure mileage was 90,030.

This is mostly from memory with most recent data reported. My 2008 veracuz has had the valve cover gasket repaired or replaced a minimum of 4 times since I purchased it on 4/30/09 from o'brien Hyundai. The first time was about 2 years after I bought it. Dealer found leak during oil change and attempted to seal with a silicone. That was unsuccessful and valve cover gasket was replaced. A year plus later I was driving home when I could not got faster that 35 mph. When I drove into my development, the max speed was 10 mph. I barely got into my driveway and the car stopped. It turned out that oil from a leaking valve cover gasket had shorted the alternator and the car had been running on the battery. Car was towed and both the alternator and valve cover gasket were replaced under warranty. In 2014, there was a recall for the leaking valve cover gasket problem and my car was repaired again. In November of 2018, the service tech at o'brien Hyundai found an oil leak during an oil change but was uncertain of the source. He put a dye in the oil and requested that I return after 2000 miles so he could inspect for the leak source. I took it back after 2 weeks and was told that the leak was from the timing chain cover gasket. However, the timing chain cover gasket, the valve cover gasket, the water pump and the alternator were all replaced under the power train warranty. In September, the "new" alternator failed and had to be replaced along with a drive belt at my expense. The fact that the valve cover gasket has been replaced multiple times in my vehicle makes me concerned that the engine design has a latent defect which can and has resulted in my vehicle losing power while in used creating a potentially deadly situation. A search on the internet shows me that my situation is not atypical and should be thoroughly investigated by your agency.

In Nov 2017 my 2008 Veracruze (98k miles ) started losing power, indicator lights flashing then it died in the middle of an intersection. Turned out to be a very oily alternator. It was repaired. 1 yr 1 month later exact same thing happened. Again the alternator was oily and needed replaced. Now 2 weeks later I'm starting to see the warning signs ( flickering lights, dead battery in the morning 1 time, power seat memory positioning buttons not working) called nearest Hyundai dealership ( over 2 hrs away) to verify that my car was included in the recall. I was told it was but it had been replaced in 2015. But that I could drive it to spokane, have it diagnosed possibly have to return ob a different day for repair and then contact Hyundai to see if they would help . Its going to cost $900 to repair! plus they want me to drive or tow my car 2 hrs away for no guarentee Hyundai will again fix the gasket.

Reoccuring of existing fixed recall from Hyundai reference number 121. The exact issue that Hyundai fixed under recall is reoccurring in regards to oil leaking and seeping from the front cylinder valve cover/gasket region causing alternator and electrical failure. Vehicle was in motion down the highway when it lost all electrical due to the failed alternator.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz. When the contact attempted to drive the vehicle, it failed to start. In addition, the electric power steering and check engine warning indicators illuminated.
