2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE Complaints

CONTROL ARMS ROTTED OUT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS DOING 25 ON A SIDE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLIDE AND WAS UNSTOPPABLE. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK WHILE IT WAS STILL MOVING TO GET IT TO STOP. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND POLICE ARRIVED THEY SAID THE CONTROL ARMS ROTTED OUT AND SNAPPED. HAD I MADE THE LEFT TO GO DOWN THE HILL THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN SOMEONE'S HOUSE. THE CAR SEAT DRIVER SIDE MOUNTS ARE SNAPPED AS WELL. *TR

VEHICLE WAS ON HIGHWAY AND HAD TRAVELED APPROX 8 MILES THEN WHILE LIGHTLY BRAKING FROM 50 MPH. HOOD FLEW UP AND BROKE WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED HOOD. I BELIEVE THIS TO ME A SECONDARY HOOD LATCH FAILURE SIMILAR TO THE RECALL FOR KIA SEDONA WHICH IS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THE HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. KIA AND HYUNDAI PRODUCED THESE CARS AS A JOINT VENTURE VEHICLE.

VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING OIL ALL OVER THE ALTERNATOR. OTHER HYUNDAI'S WITH THIS ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT THE ENTOURAGE HAS NOT. THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL SINCE BY HYUNDAI'S ONE ADMISSION IN THE OTHER RECALL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS???

WE RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL OF THE CONTROL ARMS ON OUR 2007 ENTOURAGE IN DECEMBER 2013, AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THEY INSPECTED AND "RUST PROOFED" PER THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THAT REPAIR IS NOT SUFFICIENT. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, ONE OF THE CONTROL ARMS COMPLETELY SNAPPED. WHILE IT'S INCONVENIENT FOR US TO BE STRANDED 3 HOURS FROM HOME AND WORK WHILE OUR VAN IS BEING REPAIRED, I'M MORE CONCERNED THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY, WHERE WE COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED, AND POSSIBLY HAVE INJURED OR KILLED SOMEONE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IF A CRASH HAD OCCURRED. THE ONLY FIX FOR THIS SHOULD BE REPLACEMENT OF THE CONTROL ARMS.
