Consumer Description

2007 Hyundai Veracruz AWD Limited died while young female driving in dark, winter, remote location. Towed to nearby reputable repair center. Front Valve Cover gasket & rebuilt (no new available for this old of veracrus) alternator installed and owner notified of up and coming recall not yet formalized: NHTSA # 20V705000 RECALL #197. Paperwork submitted to Hyundai along with extensive proof of work completed thru receipts and pictures. Hyundai international indicated closest Hyundai service center would have to sign off on work completed. That Hyundai dealership refused to sign off that work had been completed. Stating oil still in area. Failed to notify young female that bottom oil gasket leaking as well as other problems. Owner drove back to original repair shop that performed recall #197 work where inspection showed bottom gasket failure which was replaced...nothing to do with recall but could have caused major other failures if not identified and addressed. Since that time, female stranded again remotely when rebuilt alternator failed. Repair shop warrantied part but not labor associated with, as no new alternators are or were made available for 2007 Hyundai veracruz recall. To this day, Hyundai has failed to reimburse owner for original recall performed nearing $1000 in repair costs plus additional $500 for rebuilt alternator failure as Hyundai has failed to make new retrofit parts to complete recall #197. Hyundai international closed this case with no action on their part. Please advise
