2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE Complaints

WHEN THE SLIDING DOOR IS CLOSED IT POPS OPEN AGAIN ABOUT 2 SECONDS AFTER CLOSING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED EITHER MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

MY WIFE DRIVES A 2007 ENTOURAGE SE THAT CURRENTLY HAS 96,000 MILES ON IT. A SHORT TIME AGO THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT 'SOFT' OR WHAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT CALL 'SPONGY' OR "MUSHY" ACCOMPANIED WITH GRADUAL 'LEAK DOWN'OR "FADING" OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS THIS IS NORMALLY A SYMPTOM OF A FAILING MASTER CYLINDER, I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NEXT, I REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS (ALTHOUGH THEY WERE PROBABLY ONLY HALF WORN) TO PUSH MORE FLUID BACK INTO THE RESERVOIR IN HOPES IT WOULD 'TIGHTEN UP' THE PEDAL FEEL. THIS ALSO DID NOT IMPROVE THE SITUATION. THE FRONT BRAKE PADS ARE RELATIVELY RECENT AND NOT IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I NEXT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS A FAILURE OF THE ABS MODULE (PUMP AND CONTROL UNIT) THAT THEY DON'T SEE VERY OFTEN. BASED ON THE DEALERSHIP ADVICE, I REPLACED THE ABS MODULE. THIS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. IN A FINAL EFFORT, I REPLACED THE VACUUM BOOSTER WHICH ALSO DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. AFTER EACH OF THESE REPAIR EFFORTS THE BRAKES WERE BLED MANUALLY AND WITH THE "AUTO BLEED" FUNCTION OF A SCAN TOOL. NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO ABS, EBD OR ETC DIAGNOSTIC CODES PRESENT IN THE VEHICLES DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. I'VE COME TO REALIZE IS THE VAN IS BASICALLY "UNREPAIRABLE" BY MERE MORTALS. PERHAPS A KIA/HUNDAI VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGNER WITH ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD, FOLLOWING THE 143 PAGES OF BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS PRESENT IN THE 2006-2007 SERVICE MANUAL MIGHT STUMBLE ON A SOLUTION BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYONE LIKE THAT. THUS, IT APPEARS THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DONATE THIS VEHICLE TO A CHARITY FOR THE TAX WRITEOFF WITH FULL DISCLOSE THAT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT BE DRIVEN IN IT'S CURRENT CONDITION. THIS IS A REAL SHAME AS WE'VE HAD THIS VAN FOR 10 YEARS SINCE IT'S 2008 PURCHASE AND IT LOOKS GREAT INSIDE AND OUT.

WHEN APPROACHING CROSS TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY FROM A BUSINESS PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION (SUA) AND WAS UNABLE TO BE STOPPED ON DRY PAVEMENT. EVEN THOUGH THE FOOT BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED WITH AS MUCH FORCE AS POSSIBLE, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED BUT STILL UNCONTROLLABLY MOVED INTO CROSS TRAFFIC WITHOUT MY OPPORTUNITY TO STOP AND PREPARE FOR CLEAR AND SAFE ENTRY ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE ONCOMING DRIVER FROM THE LEFT, ALTHOUGH NOT ABLE TO STOP WHILE SOUNDING HIS HORN, SWERVED TO THE LEFT AHEAD OF MY VEHICLE THEREBY AVOIDING A BROAD-SIDE COLLISION WITH MY VEHICLE. SPEED LIMIT ON THIS STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD WAS 45 MPH AND MY CAR WAS STILL MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD AT A 'WALKING PACE' BUT STILL UNSTOPPABLE. MY CAR NARROWLY MISSED COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WAS PASSING IN FRONT OF ME TO AVOID THE BROAD-SIDE COLLISION. AFTER THE CAR PASSED IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, I HAD MAYBE 12 FEET UNTIL HITTING THE GUARD RAIL UNLESS I TURNED SHARPLY LEFT WHICH I DID. ONCE HEADING LEFT ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE PROPER LANE, THE SUA ENDED ON IT OWN. THE ENTIRE EVENT WAS OVER IN JUST SECONDS. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO COLLISIONS AND NO INJURIES. NEVERTHELESS, THIS SUA REPRESENT A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN WHICH WAS REPORTED TO HYUNDAI USA.

I FEEL THAT SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS A LOWER CONTROL ARM ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE SHOULDNT RUST AND BREAK INTO IN 11 YEARS WHEN THE BALL JOINT IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO COMEBACK HYUNDAI TO REPAIR RECALLS 03/28/2018 THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 10/28/2008 FIRST OWNER AND I PURCHASED THE CAR 02/15/2018 I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR RECALLS 03/20/2018 HOWEVER THE DEALER GAVE ME A COMPLETE ON RECALL ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY NEVER DID THE WORK THEY INVOICED. I CALLED HYUNDAI HEAD QUARTERS BUT WAS TOLD ONLY THE FIRST BUYER IS COVERED. ASHLEY 09/19/2019 09:59AM 714-965-3828 I WAS TOLD IT WAS 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE NOT THE FIRST BUYER. ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15,2018 I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP BECAUSE THE LATCH THAT WAS TOLD THAT WAS FIXED WAS IN FACT NOT THEY THEN ADMITTED THERE ERROR THEN WAS TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT FIX MY CAR RIGHT THEN. I LOST TRUST IN THERE DEALERSHIP AND CALL THERE CORPORATE NUMBER 1-800-633-5151. HOW CAN I TRUST A MECHANICS WHO CLAIMS THEY FIXED SOMETHING WHEN IN FACT THEY DID NOT.

VEHICLE IN MOTION AND VAN OUT OF CONTROL RELATED TO THE CORROSION OF CONTROL ARM. CHILDREN (3) IN THE CAR. RECALLED 2007 AND 2008 VEHICLES! WHY NOT MINE? LIVE IN NEBRASKA WITH SALT-INFESTED ROADS AND THIS VAN HAS MANY ISSUES! MY VIN NUMBER NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR. HAVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH WILL NOT RUN. THE DEALORSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 2700.00 TO FIX THEIR ERROR IN MANUFACTURING! NOT TO MENTION THE TIRES, ELECTRICAL, LATCHES! I PAID 29,000. FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS THE LIMITED EDITION, THE BEST THEY OFFERED. THEY HAVE MADE SO MUCH MONEY OFF OF US AND DO NOT STAND BY THEIR VEHICLE. MY MOM WAS KILLED BY A FAULTY AIRBAG THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER OF WENT OFF! I AM SO ANGRY AS WELL AS BROKE. WHY OR HOW CAN THIS EVEN HAPPEN? WHAT CAN I DO WHEN I HAVE NO MONEY LEFT AS WELL AS A VEHICLE? THEY FIND EVERY REASON NOT TO FIX. I NEED HELP, NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT OR WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE.

MY VAN AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW WEEKS, I TOOK IT OUT ON THE ROAD AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION DROPPED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE WHOLE SUSPENSION DROPPED AND WAS SITTING ON MY TIRE...I CHECKED WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2014 AND SUPPOSEDLY WAS COATED WITH WAX? WELL THE WAX DID NOT WORK. THEY SHOULD OF REPLACED THIS THEN. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VAN I CAN'T DRIVE. I WANT TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON HYUNDAI. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND KILLED MY FAMILY I'D BE ASKING FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THIS VAN IS DANGEROUS. I WILL HAVE TO TALK WITH MY LAWYER REGARDING THIS.
