2008 Hyundai Veracruz owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Hyundai veracruz. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled as the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the alternator and the valve cover gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact also stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 (engine and engine cooling). The failure mileage was 92,437.

My vehicle is experiencing all of the issues listed in the following campaigns, yet, the manufacturer is refusing to cover the replacement of the part. 13v113000 09v122000 the vehicle gets stuck in drive, or park, and can't be adjusted when the brake is depressed. The ESC sticks on randomly. I've replace many, many brake lights in this vehicle.

At approximately 62000 miles, all brake lights came on then off then on then off. Finally at 65000 miles the brake lights and ABS and ecs lights all came on and remained on. Took to dealer paid $136.00 diagnostic fee. Hydraulic module defective. Dealer will not warrantee yet knows of problems with similar veracruz vehicles part alone $1,500.00 nobody is helping consumer with this issue. Complained again to Hyundai usa and nothing!!! I'm being told hydraulic modules are known defective part! Car braking system not working correctly as a result!

The battery completely drains. Sometimes its because the lights turn on by themselves when the car is off, or the radio comes on, or the wipers turn on, or the ac turns on, or the blower in the rear turns on. These items will stay on all night while parked in the driveway and drain the battery completely. I have tried to remove the specific fuses ie. The radio, but then its the blower that stays on. I remove that fuse and its the lights that came on. This has been going on for the better part of 2 years.

My wife started the car and the check engine light and key light came on. She shut the car off and put the key fob in the ignition and the car would not start. Click, click, click is what she got. When I came home from work I started the car after jumping it off from my truck. The car ran but the check engine light was on. I started to drive it to an auto parts store to get the diagnostic code but before I could get very far the instrument panel lit up with several warning lights. Turned the car around and drove home. Fortunately, the car has less than 60k miles and less than 5 yrs old. (58,200 miles and 4 years 8 months old) had car towed to dealership. Due to some simple research I was not a bit surprised when informed that the alternator was bad due to a headcover gasket leakin

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V705000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the part was not available to do the recall repair.

Parts distribution disconnect.

We have a strong smell of antifreeze in our vehicle. It is constant, while driving or stationary, we can smell it inside the cabin of the vehicle or outside around the engine compartment while it is running. The level of antifreeze slowly declines. We also get a film on the front windshield. We have reported it to our local Hyundai dealership and they are unable to locate the problem. I am concerned breathing this in may cause health problems and we have a 3 year old granddaughter that is in the vehicle with us.

2008 Hyundai cruz. Consumer writes in regards to leaking valve cover gaskets safety recall. The consumer stated the valve cover gasket was replaced, due to failure, prior to the recall. The alternator and serpentine belt was replaced. The consumer requested to be reimbursed for the repairs, but was denied due to the repair order not associating with campaign 121.

Front cover gasket severe oil leak, alternator soaking in oil.now not charging battery as engine runs on battery power the alternator is not producing power. Now I cannot use my veracruz. Fot stalled good thing I had the time to park before the engine stalled.

The ESC light is constantly illuminated when the car power is on. Rear brake lights intermittently don't come on while driving. Frequently unable to shift the car out of park (which we have to perform manually with a screwdriver and the override switch in the shifter console). Due to previous recalls, we have discontinued using cruise control because we aren't sure whether or not it will disengage when braking. These problems began over 6 months ago. They are very much a safety issue! Despite identical problems in nhtsc campaigns for this year/make/model vehicle -- a campaign has not appeared for my vehicle's VIN.

While driving on the highway my vehicle started accelerating on its own and kept climbing to higher speeds reaching 100mph and greater, even while pressing the breaks the vehicle still accelerated on its own. Finally after reaching a safe area to do so I had to switch the vehicle to neutral, once slow enough I then placed the vehicle into park and shut it off immediately as it was still revving and the engine began to smoke a little. From there I had my vehicle towed to lithia Hyundai, I was too scared to turn it back on. Thank goodness my children were not in the car and thank goodness I did not have to cross any intersections. *dt

ABS control module / pump failed while operating the vehicle under normal highway conditions. ABS and ESC disabled and brake lights not operational. Advised by Hyundai dealer to replace the ABS module at a cost of $2,100 for the module (excluding labor). *tr

On many occasions, specifically on 8/26/2010 (odo: 16204), 7/29/2013 (odo: 48833), and 12/30/13 (odo: 52877) that are a matter of documentation, among others, I advised Hyundai that I was experiencing a brake problem which I variously described s "squeak," "shudder," and "plunk." they were never able to identify the cause of these disturbing sounds until recently, shortly after the expiration of the warranty. Hyundai has now finally identified the problem as replacement of the hecu for the ABS. I talked to the service manager; he said that corrosion had been noted in these units before. This conversation suggests that Hyundai had a body of knowledge concerning the hecu issue. Instead of waiting to "duplicate" the problem, they should have investigated and inspected the hecu while

ESC off light on, ABS light on, AWD symbol light on, even safety belt on when on park gear blinks. Took it to the shop three times. Says they fixed the problem but weeks later same dash warning lights come on. I'm getting screwed here. This is all past the warranty. *tr
