ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE I STARTED TO CROSS A BUSY HWY MY VERACRUZ DID NOT RESPOND AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH. ALL MY DASHBORD LIGHTS CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 5 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ON PARK EVEN AFTER TRYING THE OVERIDE SWITHCH. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND IT SHUT OFF. ONCE THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND A NEW BATTERY (BATTERY WAS A YEAR OLD BUT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR MALFUCTION KILLED THE BATTERY). ALL THIS COST ABOUT600.00. THE MECHANIC SAID THE NOTICE ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY IS THE BATTERY LIGHT SHOULD'VE COME ON WICH THAT NEVER HAPPEND. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE ALTERNATOR JUST TO GO OFF LIKE THAT IN A BUSY HWY IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IALSO ASKED IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL ABOUT OIL LEAKING IN TO ALTERNATOR AND THEY SAID NO. I GET MY CAR BACK AND NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A FAULTY CONTACT IN THE SIGNAL LIGHT STLAK WICH SOUNDS VERY SCARY ABOUT TO EXPLODE/CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE.

I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO OUR DRIVEWAY AND HAD TO CANCEL OUR OUTING. CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR PROBLEM. THE COST FOR THE REPAIR WILL BE $550.00.

ENGINE
THE OIL LEAK THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPORTED CAUSED THE ENGINE TO RUN LOW ON OIL. SINCE THERE IS A DRIP PAN UNDER THE ENGINE A CONSUMER WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT THEIR ENGINE WAS SEVERELY LEAKING. IF THERE IS NO OIL IN YOUR PARKING SPOT AND NO SIGN OF THE CAR SMOKING A NORMAL PERSON WOULD NOT CHECK THE OIL WITH EVERY TANK OF GAS. THIS OIL LEAK CAUSED MY ALTERNATOR TO FAIL IN TRAFFIC, AND SINCE THE ENGINE RAN LOW ON OIL I HAD A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE ( THREW A ROD) AT 126K. THE OIL LEAK CAUSES LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE THAT HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO, THIS VERACRUZ HAS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATED AT TOP SPEED, AND I COULD NOT STOP IT WITH THE BRAKES. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS-I DONT EVEN WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR. SOMEONE COULD EASILY GET INJURED OR WORSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON AT LEAST A DOZEN OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS ALONE, WHILE DRIVING I WILL SUDDENLY HEAR A HIGH-PITCHED "WHIRRING" SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S REVVING UP, THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHTS START TO FLICKER AND/OR GO OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN COME BACK ON AGAIN. EVERY SINGLE TIME THIS HAPPENS, AS SOON AS I TURN OFF MY CAR (DOESN'T MATTER IF I KEEP DRIVING FOR A LONG WHILE OR STOP DRIVING SHORTLY AFTER IT HAPPENS), IT WON'T START AGAIN. IT'S COMPLETELY DEAD AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT JUMPED. MY CAR HAS 94,000 MILES ON IT, AND IN THE PAST 8 YEARS, THE CAR HAS DIED/I'VE HAD TO HAVE IT JUMPED OVER 30 TIMES. I'M ON MY 5TH BATTERY! AFTER THE RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR GASKET VALVE CAP, I THOUGHT THESE PROBLEMS WOULD BE FIXED, BUT I'VE HAD EXACTLY THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUES/BATTERY CONSTANTLY DYING SINCE THEN! THAT RECALL LITERALLY DID NOTHING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AS THE CAR CAN JUST SUDDENLY LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, AND THEN IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WON'T START UP AGAIN WITHOUT BEING JUMPED. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO FIX THIS ASAP. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, AND IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!! I'LL IN THE PAST 8 YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY 5 TIMES IN MY VERACRUZ.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT GOING ON. I PARKED IT FOR THE NIGHT AND BEGAN TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, I NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT GOING ON AGAIN. THE RADIO BEGAN TO TURN OFF AND ON, AND MANY DIFFERENT LIGHTS ON THE DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. I DECIDED TO RETURN HOME TO PREVENT GETTING STRANDED. AS I TURNED AROUND, I NOTICED THAT I BEGAN TO LOSE POWER IN THE VEHICLE ALTHOUGH I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I MADE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. I TRIED TO START IT LATER AND THE BATTERY WAS NOW DEAD EVEN THOUGHT THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES IN REGARDS TO THIS AND HAVING AN OIL LEAK. THIS REMINDED ME THAT WHEN I HAD AN OIL CHANGE RECENTLY, I WAS TOLD OF AN OIL LEAK HITTING THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED MY VIN ONLY TO FIND NO RECALLS FOR IT ALTHOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS OF RECALL 121 FOR HYUNDAI. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, BECAUSE I WAS LOSING POWER AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS TRYING TO GET HOME. SOME STREETS WERE SMALL RESIDENTIAL AND SOME WERE LARGER STREETS.

ENGINE
I RECENTLY WAS DRIVING MY 2010 HYUNDAI VERA CRUZ ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED ON ME. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A MIXTURE OF OIL AND WATER COMING FROM BENEATH THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I WAS INFORMED THE MOTOR WAS LOCKED. I HAD JUST REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN MAY OF THIS YEAR DUE TO OIL LEAKING ON IT. I CAN'T RECALL IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR THE RECALL OR NOT. BUT I DID CALL IN ABOUT IT AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS NOT ON THE LIST AND IF I NEED TO HAVE IT CHECKED AT THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE SERVICE CHARGE. WELL TO ME THAT WASN'T FAIR, BUT NOW THE FAIRNESS IS GONE BECAUSE NOW I'LL HAVE TO PAY OUT 6200 TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

PULLED INTO PARKING PLACE AND WENT TO PLACE VERACRUZ FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND IT JUMPED FORWARD A LITTLE AND GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED THE ESC LIGHT DID COME ON SHOWING "OFF". I WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND BRAKE PEDAL WAS LOCKED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN VERACRUZ OFF AND APPLY EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE. DOORS WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT TURN ENGINE OVER. LIGHTS FLASH AS IF BUT WILL NOT START. THERE IS NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO INDICATE ANYTHING WRONG, THE ESC LIGHT WENT AWAY. I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MY VIN IS NOT IN RECALL BUT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. *TR
