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.
