Engine Head Gasket Leaking Problems of Hyundai Veracruz

Hyundai Veracruz alternator-alternator-recall- when is stationary and in motion when leaking. City and highway driving. Hyundai replaced the original valve cover gasket under recall on November 25, 2014. The recall was based on oil leaks and alternator failures. Hyundai would not replace the alternator even though it was covered in oil at that time. A few years later, our alternator failed (April 2019). We paid a mechanic $750 to replace that alternator. The mechanic stated failure was caused by oil saturation. Hyundai has issued another recall for the same issue, but no resolution has been determined. I recently had another mechanic look at the vehicle and they mentioned the valve cover gasket is leaking oil on the newer alternator and the alternator is covered in oil again. I contacted Hyundai after receiving multiple recall notices starting in November 2020 and a reimbursement claim was filed. Hyundai denied my claim for reimbursement because I did not provide a valid reason. Hyundai is still sending me recall notices, but they claim to not have a fix for the issue. I am forced to clean the alternator off monthly to avoid failure. Please contact me with possible resolutions.

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.

Car wont start, took it in to the shop found out oil was leaking on to the alternator and that the vale gasket it leaking oil. Took it into the dealer 4 years ago to get it fix for the recall. Had the car for 5 years and have changed 5 alternators, and 5 batteries, now that I have put a new battery and alternator again, the car wont start now without getting it jumped off. We have tried disconnectioing the terminal when not driving but that only works sometimes. Called the dealer and they said that they couldn't find anything wrong and that the car was okay even when it wouldn't start in there shop and they had to jump it off and even pitting a new starter on.

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. The vehicle was taken to nalley Hyundai (located at 7909 mall pkwy, lithonia, GA 30038, (678) 509-824)8 where it was diagnosed that the valve gasket was leaking and the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

While I was driving my vehicle, the battery light came on and quickly I lost power and my ability to control the vehicle. I was able to get it to the side of the road and towed. The alternator was replace and car was driving fine. 2 weeks later, the battery light came back on. I inspected the alternator and could see oil visible on the alternator. I did some quick research and found that there was a recall for a valve gasket leak onto the alternator on my 2011 Hyundai Veracruz, that had been fixed in 2014. Now having the same exact issue. Hyundai of chantilly, va confirmed, but will not cover charges to repair. This is extremely dangerous, as I was driving with my 2 year old twins when the car shut down.

The car stopped working 2 weeks ago. The battery light came on so we took the car to our mechanic and the mechanic proceeded to change the alternator due to excessive grease on the alternator, after driving home the car wouldn't start so we had to tow to repair shop. The mechanic took about 2 days to change the alternator . When we received the car back while in idle it stopped while it was in idle about 15 miles from repair shop . We had to again tow the vehicle to the repair shop we took the car back and the mechanic replaced the alternator again and battery where the car is right now. The car again would turn over but again would stop right away. The mechanic said that the valve cover gasket was leaking and possible damaged wires in the engine/alternator. The valve cover was replaced about 3 years ago according to the Hyundai recall records at boulder Hyundai. Our mechanic stated and he will put that in writing that the valve job was substandard and the work �shoddy �. Upon researching the NHTSA other owners of the Hyundai 2008 Veracruz have had the same problem and one owner had the valve cover replaced 3 times and are still having the same problem. I have called Hyundai and they are not taking responsibility and I am unable to trade in the vehicle or sale so I am out about $7000. 00 per kelly blue book valuation for a working car. We attempted on Saturday, June 9th to check the car to see if it would run and again after jumping the car it cuts right out. I believe if the repair on the recalled valves was done correctly the first time the car would be in working order and the alternator would not have had the excessive grease on the alternator.

The fix for recall NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 failed in less than two years. The head gasket leak apparently returned and created an alternator failure that led to a loss of power and acceleration on the highway and eventual stall out. The vehicle was repaired, but I incurred costs associated with a new battery and the deductible on my service contract. The resolution of the recall needs to be investigated for failure.

Oil leaking from gaskets on to alternator.

The oil pan or oil pan gasket leaks slowly under the engine. I was told that it is a known issue with most Veracruz that they should fix for free. This issue has been there since I bought the vehicle & I'm waiting for them to fix this recall issue too.

I am the owner of a 2008 Hyundai vera cruz. In 2014 my oil gasket leaked and I brought the car to a local garage and had it repaired. It cost $400. 00. A few months later, I had a problem due to a power failure and I went to another garage nearby, and discovered my alternator failed and needed to be replaced. It cost me another $400. 00. A few months later, I received otice from Hyundai stating that they discovered a fault in the oil gasket which could leak into the alternator and cause it to fail. I contacted Hyundai and explained what had happened. They assured me, just as it says in the recall notice, that if I had the work done already, I would be reimbursed, but they first wanted me to bring the car to a Hyundai service center, which I did. They checked the repairs and decided to re-do the gasket replacement, although they had no explanation as to why. They did not re-do the alternator so I assume they deemed it okay. Now, I have been going back and forth with them supplying copies of the repairs that I had done, and the repair orders, and the credit card receipts, some of which, strangely, kept getting lost even though I sent them as email attachments (after scanning them to digitize the copies). I was told some of the copies arrived, but others did not even though they all went with the same email. In any case, it has been a few months and now they finally said they would like to reimburse me for the repairs but have determined (again, with no explanation) that I should only receive $195. 00. I have asked for an explanation and they simply state they want to pay me a lesser amount for the parts that were provided in the repairs and less for the labor. I must admit, I am a bit dumbfounded. I may be a disabled veteran but there is nothing wrong with my math. Can you please help me?.

Following email sent to Hyundai dear sir: I have a 2011 vercruz with 27499 miles that I have loved until January 19, 2014. While traveling at 50mph, the car suffered catastrophic loss of all electrical power: no power straining, no power brakes, no engine power. It could not be restarted. By researching the net, I have learned that this problem has been described many times before. An oil gasket leaks that drips oil on the alternator producing loss of all electrical power and a dead engine. My dealer, l------n Hyundai, did the repair work, only charging me for the depleted battery. Nor were tow charges reimbursed. They concluded that oil had leaked from the gasket, destroying the alternator. I regard this has a serious safety issue. If the problem recurs for me, or for others; serious injury or loss of life could result. I request that you issue a national recall and permanent fix for this problem. I will be contacting the national highway traffic safety administration. ------ ---------.
