2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). LITHIA RENO HYUNDAI IN RENO, NEVADA REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER THE RECALL IN 2014, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. RACINE HYUNDAI IN RACINE, WISCONSIN WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL, IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AGAIN FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH OFF AND BACK ON WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNALS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. VERY SCARY. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES. SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE REPLACING HEADLIGHT SWITCH (CONTROL STALK).

OIL IS DRIPPING FROM THE VALVE COVER GASKET ON TO THE ALTERNATOR WHICH WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN ON THE ROAD. MY TRUCK IS JUST LIKE MY SONS 2010. HIS TRUCK HAS BEEN RECALLED WHY NOT MINE. WE HAVE THE SAME TRUCK JUST A DIFFERENT YEAR.

BRAKE LIGHT, ABS AND ESC OFF LIGHT ON REPEATEDLY. BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFY OUT OF GEAR. AUTO START STOPPED WORKING. HAD STOP LAMP SWITCH REPLACED, NOW SPEEDOMETER NOT REGISTERING AND ESC LIGHT FLASHING ON. THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS AND ESC OFF LIGHT STILL REMAIN ON.

THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK OR CAN BE STICKY

WIFE PARKED CAR ON DRIVEWAY SLOPING DOWNHILL TOWARD GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE KEY WAS REMOVED. WHILE SHE WAS OUT OF VEHICLE UNLOADING YOUNG CHILD FROM CAR SEAT, 6-YEAR-OLD BOY CLIMBED UP INTO FROM OF VEHICLE. THE BOY WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE KEY WAS OUT OF VEHICLE (IN PURSE WITH WIFE). HE WAS ABLE TO EASILY PULL ON THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT LEVER AND TRANSITION THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL (AGAIN WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL & NO KEY IN VEHICLE). THE CAR ROLLED DOWNHILL AND PINED WIFE BETWEEN SIDE OF GARAGE AND VEHICLE. LUCKILY, THE SHEET METAL SIDE PANEL OF CAR DEFLECTED ENOUGH TO SAVE HER AND ONCE THE CAR RAN INTO SOMETHING IN THE GARAGE AND STOPPED SHE WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE. WE ARE AWAITING MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT SHE HAS SEVERE BRUISING AND POSSIBLE CRACKED RIBS. VEHICLE WAS FOUND IN NEUTRAL WITH NO KEY IN IGNITION. AFTER STARTING VEHICLE (WITH KEY) REVERSING IT, PLACING IT BACK IN PARK, AND REMOVING KEY, THE ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT-LEVER FAILING TO LOCK COULD NOT BE IMMEDIATELY RE-CREATED. VEHICLE IS AVAILABLE FOR FURTHER INSPECTION.
