2010 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ Electrical System Problems

On the dashboard and stereo there are no lights when I turn on the cars automatic lights. It seems to be an electrical short. I brought it up to Hyundai because of the recall and they were very unhelpful. I called 15 different Hyundai dealerships in the Los Angeles area asking for a loaner vehicle which none of them were able to provide for me. After I stated I already have an electrical short, they insisted that my car was not effected by the recall. And they would even write a letter to my insurance company stating that my car was not effected by the recall. They told me to continue driving my car like normal. I feel extremely unsafe and not taken care of by the Hyundai team. They continued to push off my concerns. The dealership has confirmed that the recall does effect my VIN number. However, they...

I have had the same thing happen to me3 TIMES with this Hyundai. It is a 2010 Veracruz. Twice before. it was repaired under the warranty, and then the recall. This time, it left me ON THE ROAD>> DEAD>> WITH NO POWER and NO WARNING. This was EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, and I could have been killed if it had failed while I was turning. I was, thankfully, in a turning lane. I had it towed AGAIN to Hyundai, where they "repaired it" after having my car for 8 days. We traded it BACK to them, because it is too dangerous for me to drive anymore. As I mentioned , it was supposed to have been fixed TWICE before.

Our ESC light comes on occasionally, many times when making a left turn. Then the throttle quits and the car slows down. We had it in the shop 6 times with no repair.

While driving to work today on 1/21/2022 my vehicle was traveling at about 35 mile per hours when it suddenly began to slow and was unresponsive to my effort to maintain speed, and then several dashboard warning lights including the check engine light, charging system light, seatbelt light, and then the car began to have a loss of power and stalled. I did have my alternator and battery replaced in February of 2021 when this happened previously. Then I received a notice of NHTSA recall 20V705000 and had the remedy repaired completed in August 2022. I did attempt to have Hyundai USA reimburse me for my alternator repair and a previous repair I paid for related to the fault valve covers gaskets, but they refused my request for reimbursement. Now the problems and potential hazard remains. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V705000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the vehicle shut down and was towed to a certified mechanic. The battery was replaced however, shortly after, the alternator failed the vehicle was towed back to the same mechanic and the alternator was replaced. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the dealer declined to assist because the contact had the vehicle towed and repaired by an independent mechanic. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Hyundai has had this recall #197 open since 2014 and still does not have a solution? I just got another letter on 7-22-21 saying the same thing that they have been saying for seven years with zero resolution yet in place. I finally took the time to read the other complaints about electrical problems and the car seizing up nd being dead and this is exactly what is happening to my 2010 Hyundai Veracruz as I write this. How can this ongoing problem not be addressed and fixed by Hyundai for over 7 years now! What is the NHTSA doing about this? I now am looking at a seriously expensive repair for this problem because Hyundai simply is ignoring all of the complaints about this dangerous situation. The local dealerships I call don't want to touch it until the remedy is available or want us to pay for it and...

RE: NHTSA Recall Number 20V-705. The engine value cover gasket leaks oil onto the alternator. My engine has been smoking for six months (January 2021-present). This problem was not repaired correctly under a previous recall in 2014. In 2016 the problem persisted and my car shut off unexpectedly, causing me to stop in the high speed lane of the Massachusetts Turnpike, nearly resulting in a major accident and fatality. The value gasket and alternator was replaced the day after the incident but the problem has emerged again. I have received two notices from Hyundai in last few months under recall 197 stating that a "remedy is being prepared" following the NHTSA recall order of November 2020, but to date no remedy has been noticed. Hyundai customer service suggests that I pay for the repair myself at the dealer and seek reimbursement from Hyundai America myself but I lack funds to...

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...

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!

2010 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO INOPERATIVE CHARGING SYSTEM. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED THE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS DUE TO THERE BEING A RECALL ISSUED. *JS

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 TILT AND TELOCOPING FEATURE STOPPED WORKING ON THE STEERING WHEEL A WHILE BACK. IT CAN ONLY GO IN AND OUT, NOT UP AND DOWN. CAUSING IT TO BE HARDER TO REACH, SEE, AND STEER THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE'S ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THERE WAS NO COLLISION. COMPLETELY DESTROYED ENTIRE FRONT END. FIRE DEPARTMENT COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE. UNKNOWN.

OUR HYUNDAI VERACRUZ GOT ALL OF SUDDEN STOPPED WHILE ON THE ROAD. IT DID NOT MOVE AND ALL THE TRAFFIC GOT BACKED UP LUCKILY THERE WAS NO HEAVY VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR TOO MANY CARS. FEW NICE PEOPLE REALLY HELPED US TO SOME HOW MOVE THE CAR AND AT LEAST GET OUT OF BUSY ROAD SO THAT TRAFFIC CAN GET THROUGH. THEN THE CAR GOT TOWED TO THE AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS HAVING THE PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE CHANGED. WE DID SOME ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE IN 2015 HYUNDAI DID HAD A RECALL FOR THE VALVE COVER GASKET AND IF REQUIRED THEY WOULD ALSO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR. I AM NOT SURE IF OUR DEALER CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR AT THE TIME WHEN RECALLED ITEM WAS GETTING FIXED AND EVEN IF DEALER HAVE CHANGED - ITS BASED ON MY LIMITED AUTO...

BATTERY AND SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY AND EVENTUALLY I LOST ALL POWER AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH SEVERAL CHILDREN AND AN INFANT ON BOARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT CYLINDER VALVE COVER GASKET ONTO THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL. AS A RESULT, THE ALTERNATOR, THE FRONT VALVE COVER GASKET, AND THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO INTERIOR LIGHTS. FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS, THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON UPON STARTING UP IF THE LIGHTS WERE LEFT IN THE AUTO MODE OR INITIALLY TURNING THE LIGHTS ON. THEN THE LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING DURING DRIVING AND NOW THE LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE DASH. *TR
