AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY AIRBAG AND ESC LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE SAYING THAT BOTH THE CONTROL MODULES (ABS, AIRBAG) NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PARTS ALONE COST AROUND $2600. *TR THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF 5 YEAR PERIOD (BOUGHT IN SEPT 2008) EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 60K. THERE WERE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THESE MODULES SHOULD NOT BE FAILING FOR 50K MILES. I HAVE HEARD MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD GET THE CONTROL MODULES REPLACED.

ESC OFF, ABS & AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON FOR THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. AS FEW USERS OF COMPLAINED HERE THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE AS WELL.

STEERING, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR JUST FAILED AND DID NOT HAVE POWER. LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN CAR STOPPED. IT IS RECALL 121 FROM HYUNDAI BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION. I TRIED TO FIX IT ONCE BEFORE BUT I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY MY OWN BILL AND THEY MIGHT REIMBURSE ME BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LONG TERM FIX FOR THE ISSUE. BUT MY CAR DIED BECAUSE OF IT AND THEY SAY THAT IS MY PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE 151K MILES ON THE CAR. I SPOKE TO MANY PEOPLE AT HYUNDAI AND NO ONE WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THAT IS CRAZY THAT THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT OWN UP TO FIXING IT FOR ME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THREE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IN VEHICLE. ESC, ABF, PARKING!BRAKE WERE THE LIGHTS THAT LIT UP ON DASHBOARD. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, IT CAME UP WITH INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY DID FILE MY COMPLAINT AND SAID THAT THEY TAKE NOTICE OF TRENDS AND DO RESEARCH WHEN ENOUGH PROBLEMS HAPPEN, HE ENCOURAGED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE AS WELL. HE ALSO SAID THAT SHOULD HYUNDAI RECALL THIS PROBLEM I COULD BE REIMBURSED THE 2400.00 THIS IS GOING TO COST TO GET IT FIXED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD, TOO YOUNG AND NOT ENOUGH MILES FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I DID SPEAK WITH A HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS IN THE VERACRUZ BUT HAVE SEEN IT MORE IN THE SONATA. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL WHEN TRYING TO PARK. WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE STICK TO PARK, THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF WITH 70 - 80 MILES AN HOUR. ONCE IT TOOK OFF LIKE PLANE, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THIS VEHICLE. I TRIED TO STOP IT BUT BRAKES DID NOT WORK, STEERING WAS LOCKED AND CAN NOT TURN OFF IGNITION EITHER. VEHICLE TRAVELED ABOUT 800 - 1000 FT BEFORE IT STOPPED. VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO STOP BY TREES. STEERING, BRAKES AND GAS NOTHING WORKED AS EXPECTED AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THIS ORDEAL IN CHILDREN PLAY AREA AND LUCKILY IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING AND NO ONE WAS IN PLAY AREA. IMAGINE IF THIS VEHICLE WAS ON INTERSTATE, MAJOR INTERSECTION OR US / STATE HWY. THIS VEHICLE IS ROAD HAZARD AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY HAVE OPENED UP CASE TO CHECK BUT WANT NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE SO WE HAVE NEUTRAL OUTCOME V/S JUST HYUNDAI. I WANTED TO BRING UP THIS MATTER TO YOUR ATTENTION SO PROPER INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED FOR THIS VEHICLE TO AVOID LOSS OF PROPERTY OR LIVES. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE DETAILS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT RANDOM TIMES, I CANNOT MOVE MY SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND IT SEEMS TO CORRESPOND WITH THE ESC LIGHT TURNING ON WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. I CAN ONLY MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR IGNITION PARTIALLY ON AND CANNOT LOCK THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN! I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ESC CONTROL EVEN AFTER THE RECALL BULLETIN. THE DEALER JUST DID A FIX RELATING TO THE OIL LEAK ISSUE AND TOLD HIM IT WAS ALSO DOING THE SHIFT ISSUE. PICKED VEHICLE UP 9/25/14 AS EVERYTHING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RESOLVED BUT ONLY TO HAVE THE SHIFTER AND ESC ISSUE AGAIN ON 9/27 AND 9/29/14. CALLED DEALER AND AM BRINGING IN VEHICLE AGAIN TODAY 9/29/14. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
RANDOMLY AFTER PULLING UP TO A STOP IN MY GARAGE, I CANNOT MOVE MY SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK. I CAN ONLY MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES IN NEUTRAL IT ALLOWED ME TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I COULD NOT BACK OUT OF MY GARAGE, NOR COULD I PUT IT INTO PARK, A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL FOR IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, BUT IT IS DOING IT NOW EVERY TIME I WANT TO PUT IT INTO PARK. THE ESC OFF LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON AND THE CAR IS STUCK IN DRIVE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON ABOUT JUNE 23, 2014 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ AT ABOUT 65MPH. IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED. SHE PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF WHILE TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. SHE DECIDED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND SEE HOW IT DROVE. IT SEEMED FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT INTO THE REPAIR SHOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF BY ITSELF. I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS JUST A MISTAKE WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED, IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN BY ITSELF AGAIN. SHE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AGAIN. I HAD HER TURN IT ON A COUPLE MINUTES LATER AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS STAYED ON THIS TIME AND I TOOK IT RIGHT TO THE SHOP TO GET FIXED. I RAN A CODE READER AND EVERYTHING SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. WELL THE SHOP TELLS ME THAT IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY, JULY 14 AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD BE HERE ON THURSDAY, JULY 17. SO THURSDAY WE DROPPED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED FOR THE CALL THAT IT WAS DONE. DIDN'T HAPPEN!! WE FINALLY CALLED THEM AROUND 5:00 AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON THE PART AND IT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE DONE BY SATURDAY, JULY 19. SATURDAY MORNING THEY CALL AND SAY THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE PART IT AND THAT IS LOST SOMEWHERE!?!? NOW THEY'RE SAYING IT WILL DEFINITELY BE DONE BY TUESDAY, JULY 22. WE'LL SEE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE CONCERNS THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY/ THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR BUT HYUNDAI DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK SO. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND IT CAME TO THE POINT AFTER REPLACING THE PADS AND ROTORS AND ALMOST CRASHING INTO THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. I THOUGHT IT MAY JUST NEED AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE COMPUTER BUT THE DIAGNOSIS WAS "INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT".. I AM SHOCKED BECAUSE THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE HYUNDAI GENESIS WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON. THE DEALER WANTS $2600 TO REPLACE IT AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING WITH A VERACRUZ. IF THE SAME COMPONENTS OR FLUID WAS USED IN THE VERACRUZ AS WAS USED IN THE GENESIS - IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME ISSUES BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS. I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I DON'T HAVE $2,600 TO DISH OUT TO GET IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE SOME ASSISTANCE IN FINDING OUT IF OTHER HYUNDAI VERACRUZ OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME. HOW DOES A RECALL GET ISSUED? *TR
