2007 Hyundai Veracruz owner complaints

My Hyundai veracruz shut off while I was making a turn. I lost power steering and just averted hitting a concrete block holding a sign. Prior to the shut down, I started losing acceleration even though I had my foot on the gas. The car had to be towed to the Hyundai dealership, baltimore pike, springfield, pa. I couldn't even get the key out of the ignition. It was horrible and scary. A few months ago I lost acceleration and the car started running rough - engine light came on. I took it to same dealership above and was told it was an oxygen sensor. I told them I thought it was the throttle position sensor because I went online and found several other veracruz owners who had experienced what I had experienced with their vera cruz. Towing and accidents were involved. They said

This is recall 197. We have been waiting since 20 October 2021 for the dealer to get the part(s) to fix this issue. We have not driven the car since. We submitted a complaint to Hyundai via telephone on October 26 2021 and they gave us a case number 18905484, saying they would get in touch with us within 5 days. No one contacted us. So we called Hyundai again on November 15 and were told a case manager would call on November 16 from a prefix of 833. On November 16 the call came in with poor reception and the person told me she did not know when the parts would be in and offered to reimburse me for up to $50.00 a day for a rental car. She told me the conversation was being recorded. I declined the rental car offer. The dealer also called on November 16 and said they still did no

I need a new alternator and head gasket. I have a recall on my vehicle I have leaks on the alternator car shut off while driving and smoking from underneath the hood. It’s un drivable to dangerous to drive. I was told by a Hyundai dealership in Jersey City on communipaw Avenue that my parts will be here 5-10 days so that can fix it. That’s was in October 4,2021 it’s going 2 months in December. They never called me back I keep calling them. The last time we spoke they said maybe December or January my part might be on a container truck. Which is ridiculous to have to wait all this time . I told them that is my only means of transportation I use for work in my family.

Purchased a 2007 Hyundai veracruz and upon first use of headlights, found same aimed low with no light beyond 100'. Use of high beam caused on-comming cars to flash high beams due to my high beams to high. Dealer was unable to correct problem and provided repair manual for my use. Same was not similer to adjustments on car. Finally adjusted low beams, but high beams are in the trees, providing at best a most dangerous lack of adequate light to drive. Dealer finally has stated that both high and low beams are linked and cannot be adjusted seperately. Internet blogs state Hyundai and some dealers have a recall/fix but no firm evidence of same. *tr

NHTSA we purchased a Hyundai vera cruz on 04/02/2008 from cocoa Hyundai inc. 304 s. Cocoa blvd, cocoa, fl 32922 we noticed that the headlights were shining into the middle of the trees on our street and the high beams even higher. We took the car to the dealer to have it repaired. The repair they did had the headlights shining directly on the road in front of the car, only elimination 15 to 20 feet of roadway. My wife ran over a dog, because she could not see it in the roadway until it was too late. The dealer has made 5 attempts to re aim the headlights in this car and failed each time. Now we have been left with the headlights shining directly ahead into the eyes of the oncoming traffic and the roadway in front of the car dark. I think this is extremely dangerous.

Vehicle continues to have the same problem to this day. During a turn (left or right) at night when the turn signal is activated the headlights go out. Only jiggling the turn signal stalk will restore the headlights. Problem also occurs during signaling for lane changes at highway speeds. Problem has been reported to the Hyundai dealership. No suggested action has been offered to date. *tr
